Former Super Eagles head coach, Sunday Oliseh, has said he decided not to report the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to world football governing body, FIFA, despite being owed $26,000 because it might be interpreted as dragging Nigeria to court.
He made this known while featuring as a guest on the latest edition of ‘Home Turf’ podcast.
The 51-year-old, however, noted that he will win the case if he decides to drag NFF before the football body.
He went on to say he has no intentions to do so because it would amount to fighting against Nigeria.

Speaking during the interview, Oliseh said: “Till today, I am the only Nigerian coach ever to resign.
“And till today, they are still owing me two months salary, which is $26,000.
“A lot of people have asked me to take the NFF to court.
“I will not take my fatherland to a western court. It starts with FIFA and I will win.
“But when they write it in the media, they will say ‘Oliseh takes Nigeria to court’. They won’t say ‘Oliseh takes NFF to court’.”
