It is no longer news that 2014 African Nations Cup winner, Coach Stephen Okechukwu Keshi will prosecute Nigeria Gabon and South Africa African Nations Cup qualifiers without contract at Calabar on 6th September, 2014.
Now that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is in disarray, after the qualifiers, what happens to Keshi position with the Eagles?
It took the grace of High power cabre of Nigerians, including the minister of sports, Dr. Tammy Danagogo and others to persuade Keshi to accept coaching the Eagles without contract just for the qualifiers, on that basis.
According to Keshi, he is always ready to serve his fatherland. Keshi showing patriotic nature may not count for long as he has earlier asked for a wooping N10million pay as his monthly salary.
Information reaching The Newswriter sports desk has it that, Eagles players invited for the Gabon, South Africa qualifiers are in high spirit to win Saturday’s match for Nigeria.
However, FIFA eyes Nigeria with ban as the world football governing body as ordered Chris Giwa not to parade himself as president of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) even as another election is slated for Calabar today.
More trouble unfold everyday in the Nigeria football governing body as Chris Giwa led NFF has constituted another League Management Committee (LMC) after suspending the former and had appointed former Nigeria Premier League Board Chairman, Chief Baribote and others as members.
Keshi and the Super Eagles players may have match bonus allowance problem except the Minister will personally take care of that.
