Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president Aminu Maigari has revealed coach Stephen Keshi will no longer be solely responsible for selecting the squad.

Maigari queried Keshi’s selection for the Confederations Cup in Brazil, which Nigeria exited at the group stage, and said he is dissatisfied with the current set-up.

“The Confederations Cup is a big tournament and that’s why the other teams brought their best players,” Maigari told Supersport’s Soccer Africa show.

“Spain brought their best players, but we did not. Why would you bring a local player to play Spain at such a big stage?

“This is unacceptable. We have experienced players that were not selected and this is where we have to step in.

‘The coach doesn’t have the sole responsibility on squad selection. We all have to contribute. This team belongs to 165 million people.

“Selections should affect all these people so we cannot continue to let this happen because we need to compete well with others.”

I agree with the 'team belongs to 165million people' part. Keshi's allowing personal matters to cloud his judgement. He's a great coach though.

Keshi cannot continue to quarrel with Osaze. Osaze is not Keshi's house boy, and the team doesn't belong to Keshi's father. If Keshi is not able to MANAGE the team, other coaches must take over.

ckkris: Keshi cannot continue to quarrel with Osaze. Osaze is not Keshi's house boy, and the team doesn't belong to Keshi's father. If Keshi is not able to MANAGE the team, other coaches must take over.

We should all stop whining. Osaze's presence in the team does not automatically mean we would have done better. He was in the team when we failed to qualify for the nations cup. Moreover he's been out of serious action for a while now. This is the best I've seen the Super Eagles play in years. Let us allow Keshi to go on with his developmental works

this is not gonna end well....NFF turning into a coaching staff...funny!!

Osaze would not miss all those chances these strikers couldn't score. Spain brought their best, do you assume they don't have more misunderstandings? They just MANAGE things better.
The mid field is stronger now than when Nigeria didn't qualify. Osaze is in form and should have played, especially when Emenike is injured.
Must everyone bow to Keshi? Keshi seems too arrogant. The team doesn't belong to him.
