this is embarassing. We are such an immature people and really under-developed in our reasoning and this is not just about maigari, many people of echoed the same views on this forum.
We think we are wiser and smarter than the rest of World but we are not, even though I agree Keshi may have made better decisions with his player selections, but I don't thimk that is why we crashed out early.
Whom are these so called professionals, that keshi could have invited, outside Yobo and Ike Uche, that are at least good enough for the SE bench; i see no other player that was worthy.
Keshi actually should be praised, 3 of our star players were out- Moses, Emeneke and Onazi and to add to his woes Oduamadi got injured early in the 2nd game; and yet with all these challenges we still put a good show. Let me also add that Anichebe turned down an opportunity to be invited to play.
This team has a lot of promise, what the coach needs is support and not media criticism.

You guys are being shallow minded, I'm not a big fan of the NFF but I agree with them on this one... Mind you, they didn't say they were gonna take complete control over the team selection. In as much as keshi is an excellent coach, he allows personal beef interfere with business and that's where the NFF would come in... carlos tevez refused to come on as a substitute for man city, balloteli almost threw blow with the coach, rooney(rude boy) at an early age dey tell referee fucck you, suarez dey chop human being, they all got punished and are back to playing.. why can't keshi reconcile with osaze? for how many years? what did he do? Even after he apologized publicly.

How could he have gambled with the confederations cup? with ideye and gambo and akpala?? against world renowned players who have played on every international ground known? when we have osaze and martins who have had amazing seasons at their clubs, rumour even has it that kalu uche wasn't injured during the tournament. I think its a good step by the NFF.

Sincerely i do not buy the idea of NFF choosing players for the coach (that would bring about another "politics"which would cause another big issue) but i also do not like the fact that there is segregation on the part of the coach as well putting out some key players...he has to vary all available options before deciding on the final list.

Coaches don't choose players solely on great talent. You also have to respect the team spirit...

Talented players with silly attitudes can go to hell.

You are the one who is shallow minded, Osaze is not fit to lace the boot of any of those players you mentioned, he scored 9 goals in 10 years for us and has hardly played any match this year. Remind me again why Kesh should have picked him. I am sure you don't even know where Martins is playing for you to have wrote the rubbish above, as for Kalu Uche how is his refusal to come Keshi's fault? With due respect sir, you are a big fool.

In as much as we'd advocate for Keshi to control his team,NFF is not that far from the truth on this one.Keshi carried 8 homebased players to the confed cup and played only two,some people might not be far from the truth if they say he is collecting a part of their 5k dollars.Tell me why the man is not satisfied with the punishment he has already meted out to Osaze?Why was Martins not picked.We are African champions and we are better than that poor showing.I don't support NFF boldly meddling in his team selection but somebody has to call him to order at times

kingthreat: Guys as much as we despise NFF, lets give them a plus on this. Keshi was clueless to go to a tournament with just one main striker, who is Oduamadi. The rest were inexperienced and unknown. Can someone tell me what gambo Mohammed was doing there. Keshi gambled him to play his first international match and all we saw was nonsense. Keshi should outgrow all these nonsense of building a team. He's been building that since he became coach. By now, we should have a strong team, not just a flock of inexperienced boys making the Super Eagles team list.
let this man do his job,if he wants to build a new team,then we should allow him. Spain, Germany and those soccer super power teams built their team, which took some years. Keshi jst started, moreover its becos of d absence of moses nd emenike,dat was why our attack wasnt sharp,if nt team nigeria,played well,throughout d tournament.since keshi took over d team,Nigeria's style of play has improved. Mr maigari is jst an enermy of progress.

Martins played against Kenya in March and hardly touched the ball for 70 minutes, his inclusion in that team almost cost us our world cup place. Osaze hasn't played any football this year. You guys make it look like those names you keep calling won us the world cup. Ivory Coast has dropped Drogba who is better than Osaze and Martins merged together and no one is crying, Brazil doesn't use Kaka and Ronaldinho any more, both players are better than any body in Brazil's midfield now if you depend on past glory, but they were dropped. You guys should get some sense.

How would the non tested and new talents be discovered without being tested? Every good player was once tested. You guys don't know what Keshi is doing to our local football until he is sacked. Then we will be playing with the foreign based bench warmers.


Who is the best player that was not taken to the tournament? that the attackers flopped does never mean that the team was not good in the tournament. Clemence Westerhorf , began his job with mainly local players when the pros were seeing themselves as gods.

His team was criticized as not defending well, he answered then that no team is perfect in every department, he said that if his attackers could be scoring mores while the defends concede few goals that the team would win every match.

Giving the local players chance to play will boost the Morales of our home base players to work harder in their domestic clubs, and by that the league will bounce back to its previous standard, which would attract foreign investors into our football sector.

Stephen Keshi, should be left alone to do his work, or be relieved his duty so that the NFF could hire european road side mechanics as foreign technical adviser that will be coaching our national team online.

We sack our coaches like house boys while the politicians that are not performing beyond 0% are left to be strangling the country. When Stephen Keshi, goes then Nigerians will know his importance. Leave S.Keshi alone the NFF/

oxford: Ok so Keshi won the African cup of nation and he can no longer be corrected abi? Rubbish.
My memory has not failed me. I remember how we were nearly eliminated from the cup of nation just at the group stage. I remember how we watched with bated breath, at the edge of our seat how lowly fifa rated Burkina nearly gave 160 million nigeria heart attack. Truth is we had luck on our side in afcon 2012. so let us not allow that get into our head.

Second, the world cup is a different stage all together and only the very best gets there both for coaches and players. Truth a team that average one goal per match is not a world cup team. Keshi is not yet there, and he must be told that hard fact straight in the face.

He must also realise that he needs our collective input because at the end if we allow he to messed up, we bear the burden. I must sincerely thank maigari and his team for threatening him with a sack at afcon, otherwise he and his team would have slept all through.

now the question is where are these players:
1. Osaze

2.Lukeman

3.Joel Obi

4.Obase

joseph1013:


Echoes of Nigeria’s elimination from the FIFA Confederations still reverberates,with President of the Nigeria Football Federation(NFF) Aminu Maigari,declaring that Super Eagles coach,Stephen Keshi will no longer have the sole responsibility of choosing players for the national team.

The NFF President while speaking in a magazine show, Soccer Africa on Supersports,questioned the players Keshi took to the tournament in Brazil,adding that he went with inexperienced players.

Following Nigeria’s elimination from the Confederations,criticisms have been trailing the technical crew of the Super Eagles,after the team failed to take their goalscoring of their chances at the tournament.

TO HELL WITH NFF!!!!!!

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

“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.”

Nigeria crashed out of the Confederations last Sunday,after winning just one game against Tahiti,and losing the other games against Uruguay and Spain,despite putting up good performances.
Keshi in his own defence,said that he selected the right players available to represent the country at the tournament.

“I understand Nigerians are emotive and sentimental sometimes but all the players that went to Brazil deserved to be there,” Keshi told BBC Sport.

“I’m the coach and I can honestly listen to constructive ideas on how we can improve as a team.

“But no-one has come to tell me who to pick and not to select. If the team fails the coach is responsible.

“As the coach, it’s my decision and responsibility. For now, the local players have earned the rights to be in the team.”

Does the NFF have the right to meddle in the choice of players,Keshi takes to a tournament?
