The
Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) has described Super Eagles coach
Sunday Oliseh as a pathological liar who doesn't have the integrity to lead the
National team and who always looks for excuses to justify his incompetence as
the Super Eagles coach. This comes on the back of a 7-day ultimatum given by
the body to the Super Eagles coach after he alleged that some journalists
approached him to ask for monetary favour in exchange for good articles and
stories written about him.
“Sunday Oliseh has displayed to the whole world that he does not have the capability of being trusted with the Senior National Team of a great football playing nation like Nigeria and lacks the integrity whatsoever as an individual to continue to parade himself as the head coach of the Super Eagles,”the statement signed by the Associations Secretary General read.

Over
a week ago the Sports Writers body released this statement;
"Our
attention has been drawn to a recent statement credited to the Head Coach of
the Super Eagles Mr.Sunday Ogochukwu Oliseh that some members of the Sports
Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) have been approaching him requesting for
money to enable them write favourable reports for him, and that some are acting
as agents requesting that he invites certain players to camp so that they can
do business with them.
"The
leadership of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) in its quest to
ensure continous sanity in the profession, and for the purpose of the change
mantra which is gradually revolving round every aspect of the economy, is
requesting that the Head Coach names these journalists that approached him
within the next seven days. "This has become imperative considering the
recent bashing the Sports Writers have been receiving from the NFF and its
employees.
It would be
recalled that the NFF President only recently at the National Assembly took a
swipe on the Sports Writers for being the brain behind their inabilities to
secure sponsors for the Federation.'' "Henceforth, SWAN would no longer
fold its arms and watch people blame their misfortune on the Association. We
have, as major stakeholders, contributed positively to the development of
sports in the country, and would no longer tolerate people dragging SWAN in
their maladministration technical ineptitude. "We remain committed to
sports development in Nigeria."
NB: I don’t trust SWAN, they can request for gratification…
