WHY CANT KESHI JUST LEAVE? This guy must be an actor. After he won AFCON 2013 with the Super Eagles this guy went on a South African radio station to dramatically proclaim that he had resigned as head coach. He knew in his mind that Nigerians would cry and beg for him to stay because of the glorious feat he had achieved. His thinking was right as not only Nigerians but the President also begged him to rescind his decision. He changed his mind and continued as coach. Knowing fully well that everybody including the President of the country was behind him, he became so overconfident of his position and himself that he kept threatening NFF in the media that he was not afraid of sack when Super Eagles started churning out poor results. He boasted that about 3 or 4 other unamed African countries wanted to hire him. He fought with players and became enemy with anyone who criticized him. The Super Eagles had an average performance at the World Cup when they could have done better if the coach was tactical enough. To crown it all they failed against all expections to qualify for AFCON 2015 from a group that had Congo, South Africa and Sudan just after one year of winning AFCON! During that qualifiers Keshi had no contract. The opportunity for him to carry out his threat and walk away to countries who were courting him came but he sat tight like many NIGERIAN POLITICIANS with the excuse that the Sport Minister begged him to continue in interim until a new contract was given to him and that he had to serve his father land(as if na free him de do am). The contract never came until Super Eagles failed to qualify for Nations Cup. Even when the NFF told Keshi thank you and asked to leave after 4 matches in the qualifiers when it didnt seem Super Eagles would qualify, he left and came back again when the President intervened. He still didnt see the need to start working with countries who he had boasted wanted him so badly. Then Super Eagles finally failed and Keshi instead of walking away quietly is still lurking in the corner using his presidential connections to lobby for NFF to give him a N7million per month contract. Cant someone just ask him to leave because Federal Government is broke!
