Minister pays Keshi 14 million Naira
AfricanFootball.com has scooped that
Nigerian sports minister has paid coach
Stephen Keshi for the past two months to
further undermine the authority of the NFF
over the coach.
It was understood that Keshi has been paid
14 million Naira (about $83,000) for
October and November by sports minister
Tammy Danagogo even though there is no
contractual agreement between the coach
and the NFF.
A top source informed AfricanFootball.com:
“The minister has been paying Keshi
directly from the NFF subvention without
any input from the NFF.
“This cannot be good for the relationship
between employer and employee.”
Keshi was in charge for the AFCON
qualifiers double header against Sudan in
October and then the qualifiers against
Congo and South Africa last month.
NFF president Amaju Pinnick has
maintained a contract has not been agreed
with Keshi contrary to media reports that
the coach will now be paid a monthly
salary of seven million Naira, a two million
Naira raise from what he received in his
initial contract, which ran out after the
World Cup in Brazil.
“We have not come to an agreement yet
(with Keshi),” he said.
The frosty relationship between the NFF and
Keshi has worsened after the federation
were ordered to re-instate the coach at the
end of October.
And this latest revelation can only tear
employer and employee further apart.

Nff have themselves to blame, if they have renewed keshi's contract after the world cup, they would have saved themselves from the embarrassment they are now facing.

When a coach surpass your target either by luck, juju or whatever, reason implies you renew his contract and increase his salary but in Nigeria its different, in saner climes keshi's contract would have been renewed after afcon 2013 but bad belle nff messed up as usual. Someone has asked on this forum and I agree with him why was westerhof's contract not renewed after USA 94? same bad belle as usual and we all blame our coaches when we fail in a match.

A man wins the nations cup and the next thing the FA did was to decimate the coaching crew just to get at an individual who refused to allow them run away with their corrupt antics. Where is that done ? Who destroys a winning team? Pinnick has been busy yapping about match readers and all that, yet keshi has been calling for the reinstatement of Okpala. Has Sylvanus okpala not proven to be a good match reader? Must the ubiquitous match reader be white with some fat grobby contract from our dirty FA? Give keshi a contract, allow him to choose his backroom staff and then hold him responsible if he fails. That's the way it is done in saner climes. Here we have a glass house full to the brim with some rampaging ijiots scheming endlessly to sign a dirty contract with any white fool.

@the bolded, chai, you don yap this people finish, but na true word you talk, even the nff now know that sacking okpala was a huge mistake, they are now begging him to withdraw his case at CAS and come and pick up his job back, nff are really what you have described them and they have the gut to say that keshi lack tactics.
