The ‘Big Boss’ has been speaking about Aaron
Samuel’s good form for the African champions,
and also went on to mention some other players
he has invited that has raised eyebrows, which
prompted people to think he ‘collects money’
from them for their invitations.

The 52-year-old has however called for Nigerians
to support the players, irrespective of who they
are and where they play.

“I just have to elaborate a little bit as is the case
with Aaron Samuel who has done well. Babatunde
Michael is the same, just that he’s injured right
now. When he first came, a lot of people were
saying ‘Oh Keshi took money from these boys,
Keshi took money’, which is very out of faith,” he
told Hot FM.

“We just have to believe in these boys because if
you guys don’t give them the belief and
confidence, how are they going to be the next
Okocha? How are they going to be the next Kanu?

“How are they going to be the next Uche
Okechukwu? How are they going to be the next
Peter Rufai?” Keshi asked rather rhetorically.
“We have to give them room to grow and that is
how football players develop. Messi didn’t grow in
one day, he had a lot of room to build.

“Ronaldo and the rest of them, Zinedine Zidane
and others and that’s it and if we can start doing
this in Nigeria that will be a great thing for all
Nigerian players.”
