Elombah.com had written: “Call me prophet if you like but we are getting there. The day Siasia was dismissed by NFF, I prophesied:
“One day NFF will go back on bended knee and beg Siasia to come back and take Nigerian to the promised land.”
“Oliseh, whom I considered most incompetent of all, throws in the towel!!!
“Stay cool we are getting there!!!!!”
The former striker has been brought back to handle the national team following the resignation of Sunday Oliseh early on Friday.
