“I coached the Super Eagles for fourteen games, won four, we lost only two games. One was a friendly against Congo in Belgium.
“After being unpaid for four months, and my assistants being unpaid for six months, and after me falling sick and not getting any support spending thousands of dollars to cure myself, and still being laughed at by some of your media friends for falling sick. I resigned because I didn’t get support.
