Oliseh was in charge of the Nigerian national team for seven months between July 2015 and February 2016 before he resigned.
During his tenure as head coach, there were many off-pitch issues with some players and even NFF officials.
In a recent chat with Elegbete TV, the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder Oliseh said he heard about Mikel's interview.
How did Oliseh respond?
He said via Sport Skeeda:
"I think he needs help, to be honest. There's something I've not really shown much; I won the best coach for the first period of the Jupiler league, which is the Dutch league.
"That was not voted by the press, that was voted by the players and the coaches of the league.
"I don't need to justify myself being a good coach or anything to the kid. I call him (Mikel) a kid because my son is 27 years old.
Only recently, Mikel expressed displeasure that some players of African descent only decide to play for their motherland when they get old.
He expressed concerns, saying many of the descendants see their African origin as a second option.
