‘He fed Mikel Obi’ - Oliseh names legend who sheltered AFCON winner during his struggle

Mikel became one of the most successful Nigerian footballers in history, having won several trophies for club and country.

The former Chelsea midfielder won two Premier League titles, four FA Cups, one Champions League trophy and one AFCON trophy with the Super Eagles.

However, despite his successful career, Oliseh has said that he would not have reached this height without the help of his former teammate.

Oliseh has stated that former Super Eagles goalkeeper Dosu Joseph helped Mikel Obi during his years of struggle.

During an interview with ELEGBETE TV SPORTS, shared on YouTube, Oliseh said, "Before Obi-Mikel made it in football, Dosu Joseph housed Obi-Mikel and fed him. 

“I bet you all didn't know this. He helped Obi-Mikel become what he is today. In spite of all the help he gave Obi-Mikel, please let's ask ourselves, has Obi-Mikel ever once gone to say hello to Dosu?”

The former Ajax player claimed that Mikel lived with Dosu, who sheltered and fed him before becoming a superstar.

Oliseh also mentioned that the AFCON winner has failed to visit the former goalkeeper since he became a star player.

Meanwhile, Oliseh has made himself available to manage the Super Eagles and is eager to be considered for the coaching job.
