NFF Moves To Restrict Use Of Twitter, Facebook And Instagram By Super Eagles Players

The Nigeria Football Federation has hinted that Super Eagles players will be restricted on their use of social media while on international duty following the face off between Sunday Oliseh and Vincent Enyeama last Tuesday.

NFF supremo Amaju Pinnick made this known after a meeting in Belgium on Saturday with the main protagonists involved in the dispute.

Lille numero uno Vincent Enyeama made headlines last week after he took to Instagram to express his disappointment on how he was mistreated by Sunday Oliseh.

“No player launches his career through the social media. When players are at their clubs, they don’t broadcast camp situation on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, ” Amaju Pinnick said.

“The same restraint and discipline must be observed in the national camp.”

Vince won’t be the first Super Eagles player to take to a social networking site to voice his displeasure at team officials, with ex West Brom striker Peter Odemwingie launching an attack on the NFF via Twitter after his omission from the 2013 African Cup of Nations roster.
