Captain of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Ahmed Musa became an uncle to triplets when the wife of his mentor Ahmed Ibrahim popularly known as coach Bros gave birth.

The Plateau United Technical Director and his wife welcomed triplets on Friday as contained in a congratulatory media statement released by the management of the team ahead of their 0-0 game against Enyimba on Sunday.

Coach Bros is largely credited as the man who is behind the success story of the Super Eagles captain who is presently playing in the Nigeria Professional Football League for Kano Pillars.

Musa named his son after him and few years later he became a father for the first time when his wife gave birth to their first child which happened to be a baby girl.

The little girl now has two sisters and a brother as we gathered those were the sexes of the triplets given birth to by the man who is seen as one of the best in Nigeria when it comes to talent discovery.

Former captain and coach of the Super Eagles Sunday Oliseh says he is interested in coaching the senior national team of Nigeria it he is handed the role.

His statement is coming a little more than a year after he declared in an interview that he will never coach the senior national team of Nigeria again owing to how he was treated in his first stint which lasted for just seven months.

“No, I don’t have the intention of ever coaching the [Super] Eagles again,’ Oliseh said on the 4th of April 2020.

“I loved working with the boys, I love coaching my country, but the atmosphere around it was no longer healthy.

“I didn’t want the job anymore. Health-wise I was not feeling too good; secondly, we were owed salaries. I was spending money on my health and on my team. I just couldn’t die on the job.

“Truth is, we have a foreign coach now and from what I heard and know, he is being paid four times the wages Stephen Keshi and I were paid and these are two players who won trophies for Nigeria.

“I’ve never heard Gernot Rohr complain about wages. Keshi, while he was coaching, was always complaining, when I was coaching for four months, I was unpaid, for six months my assistants were unpaid, so I had to leave the job; we were also being frustrated.”

In an interview on Channels TV monitored by OwnGoalNigeria.com editorial team, Oliseh backtracked on his words as he seeks a route back into management since leaving his role as coach of Dutch side Fortuna Sittard in 2018.

“My country is my country, nobody can take it from me. You can make any comment you want to make, but I am first [a] Nigerian before anything else. So, if my country really needs me to help out and they ask me to come and do it, I will do it.”

“But I will not do it if I am giving the best of my knowledge for my country to work and somebody is just taking it ‘yes or no’ and then eventually we all fail.

“I resigned from the Super Eagles because I had decided that when I was sick, I was going to stop because I did not get any help from the federation.”

The Nigerian contingent at Scottish champions Rangers is about to swell with coach of the team Steven Gerrard closing in on a deal to sign Millwall starlet Abdul Abdulmalik.

He is seen by many as one of the brightest prospect at the club and Manager Gary Rowett claimed the player’s agent is behind his desire to leave the team in the summer.

His form was rewarded with a call-up to the England Under-17s squad in January, although he wasn’t handed his international debut.

The 18-year-old’s scholarship with Milwall comes to an end this month and while the Championship club have offered Abdulmalik a professional contract, he is keen to explore his options elsewhere.

Rangers are the front runners for his signature and reports says talks are already at an advanced stage as he prefers a move to the Scottish side ahead of the duo of Swansea City and Arsenal who are said to be keen on his signing.

If the move happens, the Nigerians at the club will increase to five with the duo of Leon Balogun and Joe Aribo leading the number which also has Calvin Bassey and Nnamdi Oforborh who joined this summer.

Samuel Nnoshiri won’t be part of the Super Eagles squad that will play against Mexico in an international friendly game next month in the United State of America.

Nnoshiri was among the players named in the final 23 man squad but had to excuse himself from the team as he has a date with the Spanish Embassy ahead of a trip to Spain.

He is expected to travel in the coming days to seal a deal with a second division team in Spain OwnGoalNigeria.com exclusively gathered.

In our earlier post we erroneously said Chinonso Ezekwe left the camp for a trip abroad. Recent report indicates that it was actually Nnoshiri who left the camp of the team yesterday.

Sources close to the camp of the senior national team of Nigeria say head coach of the team Gernot Rohr is behind the invitation of Suleiman Shuaibu to the camp of the B team of Nigeria ahead of next month friendly game against Mexico.

Shuaibu is the goalkeeper of Lagos based footballs academy names Prince Kazeem Eletu FC. His invitation as part of the goalkeepers sparked an angry reaction from the football authority in Nigeria.

Their annoyance in the invitation of the goalkeeper to the senior team is hinge on the fact that he plays for a non league side, and skipping all the goalkeepers which is around 60 in the Nigeria Professional Football League for a non league goalkeeper is unacceptable.

“ It’s unacceptable but the coaches said he was recommended to them by Rohr so they have to obey him as the senior coach in the national team set up. Even at that it’s unacceptable and we have warned them about it going forward”, a source told OwnGoalNigeria.com.

Kwara United defender Chris Nwaeze and fellow defender Ifeanyi Anaemena from Rivers United have been dropped from the squad of the Nigerian team ahead of the friendly game against Mexico.

Anaemena was dropped after yesterday’s morning session while Nwaeze was told of his faith same day but in the evening as the coaches continue to prune down the number of players in camp.

Also Ekundayo Ojo who arrived the camp of the team this morning alongside his Enyimba teammates the duo of Anayo Iwuala and John Noble have been dropped as well.

Ojo was dropped without even kicking a ball with the coaches unsatisfied with his fitness level which has seen him miss the last one month of action in the Nigeria Professional Football League.

Coaches handling the Super Eagles of Nigeria ahead of their friendly game against Mexico next month have voiced their unhappiness with the team’s lack of goals in training.

Ahead of the game, the team is being put through their paces in Abuja by coach Austin Eguavoen and Paul Aigbogun both from the Technical Department of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

They have been drilling the players largely made up of players playing in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) and one major concern has been the lack of goals scored in drills.

In three different training sessions only Ibrahim Olawoyin has found the back of the net and even during drills on goal scoring, the players find it hard to hit the back of the net.

So far the wingers have been the most impressive in camp but full backs are also not left behind with Abdulmutalib Sanusi of Katsina United impressing the watching coach of the senior national team Gernot Rohr.

Just like Lawal Muritala , the Kwara United left back, Abdul like he is called by his teammates was one of the best players in yesterday’s session with his runs and crosses drawing applause from the technical crew.

Nigeria Professional Football League giants Enyimba FC of Aba have cleared the air on the manner which the ownership of star winger Anayo Iwuala is structured.

Iwuala has emerged as one of the hottest property in the NPFL with four senior national team caps to his name and as expected it has sparked interest from several teams in Europe.

His rise has also brought up debates about who owns the economic right and which party will benefit in the event of his move to a team in Europe which looks likely to happen before the end of this summer transfer window.

Following claims from some sources that he belongs to them, OwnGoalNigeria.com heard from Enyimba sources that Delta Force from where he was signed have a 30% stake in any of his future transfer.

It was part of the agreement when Enyimba paid the sum of 4 million Naira to sign him two seasons ago from the Delta State team where he had his breakthrough into top flight football in Nigeria.
