This is not the best of times in the Nigerian football family. This is because Thompson Oliha, who represented the Super Eagles with an admirable level of commitment, is dead. He was aged 44. Oliha played for Bendel Insurance (1985-1987), Iwuanyanwu Nationale (1988-1991), Africa Sports (1992-1993), Maccabi Ironi Ashdod F.C. (1993-1994) and Antalyaspor (1994-1995), and before his death, was one of the coaches in the Kwara State football academy. May his soul Rest In Peace. He will surely be missed.
