Oliseh disclosed three Super Eagles players whom the NFF cautioned him against inviting. Oliseh has disclosed that during his tenure as the head coach of the Super Eagles, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) specifically instructed him not to include three players in the team. These players were identified as Vincent Enyeama, John Obi Mikel, and Emmanuel Emenike.
The former coach managed the national team for a period of seven months, from July 2015 to February 2016. Eventually, Oliseh resigned due to what he described as the NFF's failure to fulfill the terms of his contract.
In an interview with Elegbete TV, Oliseh further elaborated on how the NFF wanted to prevent certain players from representing the country, citing past issues with these individuals. Despite the NFF's directive, Oliseh decided to engage with the players personally to try and resolve any existing conflicts”
