“I was robbed of my entitlements for qualifying Nigeria for the FIFA World Cup in 2022, the NFF appointed Onigbinde, who I feel is the worst coach to handle the Super Eagles,” Oliseh said on the Home Turf podcast.

“Some players were dropped. Agali, Yakubu, Babangida and all those players who played the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers were dropped. And till today, none of them have been paid.”
