edi287: Lol . that is the problem with jumping halfway into coversations This is what I responded to Birikiti:When I said I do not recall Okocha playing. Okocha was a peripheral player in USA 1994 so I do not know what he meant by USA 94 standards |

edi287:Westerhof never really liked to use Okocha maybe because of "overdribble" and I will check but do not think he started any of the first 3 games in 1994 |

Mikeparlo12: Is the baba vying for any political post? Cos he's sounding like an aspiring candidate of a party. Or probably he's memory is failing him due to old age. I can't Imagine a called sport minister talking like this, as if he's narrating tales by moonlight about tortoise. All the above was completely wrong. From coach, to the players, matches and advising chioma to go for long jump. Chioma was better in long jump than the sprint and she was qualified to compete at the games cos she covered the minimum required to compete at the Olympics during the Nigerian Mobil track and field qualifiers, hence, he could not have advised her to go for the event since she already registered before the games. Kanu was the captain of the dream team and one of the best players during the qualifiers, hence Bonfere could not have benched him. Regarding the allowance, them no born anybody well to owe the players or athlete during Abacha regime, all na wash. 1 Like |

Old age oooo. Is not a must to grant interview especially when some views are interchanged. Former governor that was among the few people who enjoyed during Abacha time . Remember that SE did not go to 1996 Nations Cup at SA to defend the cup the won 2years earlier in Tunisia.Our absence due to Abacha, made SA to win to the Continental cup . Back to Atlanta Olympics, Jo Bonfere was our coach,not Westerhof,Victor Ikpeba scored the second goal with a strong left shot, not Okocha. Okocha missed Penalty when we needed the goal badly and the annoying part was that Okocha was smiling after he missed the penalty . |

aribisala0:Yeah. I read somewhere he had one of the highest dribbles in a WC game against Italy. Apparently Westerhof preferred Oliha over him |

Is the Chief Talking about Atlanta 96 or another tournament? Maybe old age has made him confused, if not how can he state that: 1. Westerhof was their Coach where it was Bonfere Jo that coached the Atlanta Eagles. 2. Sunday Olise was in the Bench and didnot play that particular game because he was on two yellow cards. 3. The 2nd goal was scored by Victor Ikpeba not Okocha as stated by the Chief. |

Jim you can lie.Kindly remind us that your house girl was included in Nigerian delegation while you dropped some promising young talents.Moreover how was it your work to command the Coach not to remove Kanu.Invariably, you won us the Olympic Gold.... Magichand: |

''He threatened to sack him, if he (Clemens Westerhof) removed Kanu'' Such is a case with how things are done in Naija. |

Re: Jim Nwobodo: What Abacha Did After Atlanta '96; What I Did For Kanu Nwankwo by Birikiti: 4:22pm On Aug 06, 2018 |
aribisala0: Please watch Nigeria Vs Italy again! Okocha started the match and completed the most dribbles by an individual player in a World Cup match (at least before 2018 WC). Knowing Westerhof, he used Okocha sparingly during the group stages so he could unleash him on opponents during the knockout stages. This was same plan he used Amunike for in Tunisia 94. The plan almost worked but... So, I hope you understand my "USA 94 standards" statement now. |
