Keshi Signs Two-Year Extension As Nigeria Coach by dridowu: 4:48pm On Apr 21, 2015
Stephen Keshi on Tuesday agreed to a new two-year contract to coach Nigeria’s national men’s football team, ending months of uncertainty and speculation over his future. Some opposed extending Keshi’s tenure as the Super Eagles coach after they failed to qualify for the recent Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea.
Talks on a renewal also stalled in February when Keshi described Nigeria’s extension offer as a “slave contract”. But the 53-year-old called for a fresh start on Tuesday at an official signing ceremony, saying any lingering bitterness needed to be put in the past.
“This is the time for us to come together to fight for this nation,” Keshi said, adding: “I am begging you all to please put the past behind and let’s start afresh.”
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) technical committee chairman Felix Anyansi-Agwu also described Keshi’s second stint as coach as “a new beginning”.
“The entire (NFF) board has absolute confidence in the capacity of Stephen Keshi to take the Super Eagles to new heights,” he told reporters.
Keshi’s initial contract of three years ran out after last year’s World Cup in Brazil, where Nigeria reached the last 16 knockout stages. He had previously steered the side to a win at the 2013 African championships, raising his profile in Africa’s most populous nation after a string disappointments at the continent’s top tournament.
The NFF was engulfed in controversy last year, including over Keshi’s status and irregularities that marred a vote to choose the federation’s new leaders. FIFA was forced to step in, warning that Nigeria could be disqualified from international competition if the NFF failed to clean up its act.

hmmmm... very angry wt every bit of dis news
he said he is receiving offers from oda top African country n still went ahead, waited lyk a kid waiting for chocolate wt xo much desperation for wat he earlier tagged a "slave contract"
we all kno dt Keshi is supposed to b job hunting if it's not GEJ dt intervened wen d NFF kicked him out
change av arrived n I tink dt since it's d season of change, d wind of change should please start from d sports sector coz wi ar very much behind..
advanced country wud sack dier coaches or pressure d coaches to tender dier resignation letter if deY av failed, for example wat Brazil did to fellipe Scolari n wat Italy did to dier coach after dier bad performance in d last world cup..
Keshi had an average performance in d world cup bt failed d whole nation by failing to take us to d same Afcon he luckily won..
dnt blame him n dose dt gave him d contract coz corruption is d order of d day n it's all abT d money n politics...
NIGERIA dnT kno d waY forward...
d only country that an away club hardly win a match in d league fixture ...
av lost passion for Nigeria football coz it's a big JOKE

Re: Keshi Signs Two-Year Extension As Nigeria Coach by Jennifer4christ: 4:58pm On Apr 21, 2015
Good day Nairalanders...

My name is Jennifer and I reside in Owerri, Imo state.
I am a school certificate holder with little hope of tertiary education.
Someone advised me to open a Nairaland account and ask for help, so I'm new here.
With the assurance I was given, I promise to testify here, if I get my breakthrough from Nairaland.

Why I came writing this now is because I lost my job as a cleaner at one of First Bank branches in Owerri.
The area manager came to our branch 2 weeks ago and after a series of complaints about almost everything that day, I was relieved of my job.
It still beats my imagination why I was singled out to be sacked.
Why me?
Why just me?
I still can't bear it up till now, since I fend for myself.
The money I have with me is fast running out and I desperately need a job from a good samaritan reading this now.

Please, if anyone can help me get a good paying job or connect me with someone who can give me a good job IN OWERRI, IMO STATE, I will forever be grateful.

I know this is risky, but I need help desperately, hence, I am putting up my number for possible contact and help.
I am not a sex-worker please and I will never be one, I only need a decent job.
So please, I pray no one misunderstands my intentions.

May God almighty reward those who will run to my aid at this frustrating moment of my life, Amen!

My number is 08172982883.
God bless you.

For those still arguing in favour of engaging a foreign coach, what's it with all these Lagerbeer, Berti Volkswagen? If Naija can't employ a 'real' foreign coach in the make of Van Gaal, then we are fine with our own.

But must it be keshi Ghana hired avram grant & they are doing fine, ivorycoast same bt only Nigeria decided to stick to the man that failed them at qualifiers for ordinary nations cup. He has won d cup for Nigeria but that is what it is, past glory. I like the man but I think his time in football has past. Probably some politician would develop pot-belle from this contract
