“Harsh in Nigeria means you are doing the right things and they don’t like what you are doing, No matter who you are, if you are a player and I am a Coach, players will have to respect what I put on ground and that is the way I do my stuffs” he told Journalists in Abuja on Thursday.

“So if you say harsh, if you do something wrong and I will bark on you. It is a normal thing because your job is to represent Nigeria first, so if there are rules and regulations first, why should you look back on it because you are a senior player that the junior player. That does not sound right if it does to you, you can tell me” he said
