Samson Siasia, who
last week won a Bronze medal for Nigeria at the Rio Olympics, has declared that
he is no longer interested in working for Nigeria anymore.
“My next step is that I am done with Nigeria for now. You
can’t keep going to a place where they don’t appreciate you. It does not worth
it. Sometimes it is not about the money but the approach. They seem not to
appreciate the sacrifices. I know how much I have sacrificed since the team
began camping two years ago. How can you keep going to people who don’t
appreciate you?
“It does not make sense, so I am done for now. I have
to go somewhere else where they will appreciate what I have done and what I can
do and pay me the respect that I deserve.”
Siasia also revealed that the NFF had taken the car that was
given to him.
“Even before I returned from the Olympics, the only car they
gave me, they took it away from my wife. That is just awesome. That is not how
to treat someone who was out there seeking glory for the nation. Let them
eat their national team.” he told Vanguard.
