The former Eagles boss also offered this advice for Mikel: “There is no doubting the fact that Mikel is a talented footballer, who has the quality to be a super star in football but he must continue to work hard and try as much as possible to join the attack

Siasia believed that Oliha’s sterling performance in 1994 assisted the Super Eagles win some important matches, stressing that his demise came as a surprise after losing former teammates, Rashidi Yekini and Uche Okafor, to the cold hands of death

‘This made some of the ex-internationals like the Super Eagles Coach Stephen Keshi; ex-Eagles handler, Samson Siasia; Peter Rufai; Taribo West; Austin Okocha; and Kanu Nwankwo to come together to say just as they honour former South Africa President, Dr. Nelson Mandela, with the Mandela Cup, they decided to do something like this for Chief Edwin Clark who has been there for all of us’

When squeezed for his reaction on the matter, Siasia, who has just been appointed as the Director of Football Development in Bayelsa State, said the situation is injurious to the aspirations of the team to qualify for the 2014 Mundial since Keshi needs the full backing of the NFF and a healthy relationship to be able to actualize his dreams of qualifying the nation for the Brazil 2014 World Cup
