Letter to Keshi: Sir, you sabotaged yourself!

I am writing this letter with a heavy heart as a fan of the Super Eagles and a firm believer in your abilities as a player and a coach. However, after hearing the news report on Monday of your assertion that certain individuals and forces are sabotaging your team, I beg to disagree. In fact, I made bold to say that you, Mr Keshi, are your own worst enemy and you are the one that has sabotaged your good works and legacy in the team.

Let me remind you of a saying: 'You do not change a winning team or a winning formula'. But at the same time there's another saying: 'One cannot continue to do the same thing over and over again, and expect a different result'. So what am I driving at? Let's examine the facts: When you took up this job after the disastrous qualification campaign by the Samson Siasia led team for the 2012 African Nations Cup, you said the spine of the team will be built from the home-based players. You set up a camp and brought the players together.

Your home-based programme unearthed the likes of Sunday Mba, Godfrey Oboabona, Ejike Uzoenyi, Azubuike Egwuekwe, Reuben Gabriel, among others, brought intense competition for places and gave hope to the players from the Nigerian professional league.That, home-based Eagles, mixed with a few professionals, prosecuted the Afcon 2013 qualifiers with little problems, beat Rwanda 2-0 and disposed of Liberia 8-3 on aggregate to qualify for the Nations Cup in South Africa. Then, you had a vision and a goal, so why did you jettison that and allow yourself to be misled by the pressures and greed of the same saboteurs that you now accuse?...
