No 1, no where, I repeat , no where is safe in Nigeria.
Even calabar!

So, I understand his fears.

No2. Keshi should apologize and serve a ban. Racism should not be tolerated in football. He should know better learn how to relax, take a deep breathe, choose better words for voicing out any concern to the public.

Learn how to be diplomatic Keshi, management training should teach you that. Even street footballers don't spew thrash. sad

I get worried anytime I watch Keshi talk about the need to use indigenous coaches,while that is a good idea,he has always harped on the need to give African coaching jobs to "black coaches" and not "white coaches".Doesn't Keshi know that there's a world of a difference between black and African,or white and European
If he had been using the term African coaches as against black coaches,as well as European coaches instead of white coaches,he wouldn't cross or be seen to cross the very sensitive racial line.
I like Keshi a lot,I respect his achievements both as a player(even from his NNB days) and a coach,but truth be told,Keshi is beginning t sound like a pseudo-racist and he needs to apologise to the Malawian coach,explain that he never meant coaches with white skin(as most coaches of African descent are white-skinned even)but European coaches given undue advantage for coaching jobs by African FAs,he also needs counseling before he gets seen globally as a racist.

He was employed to be the coach of the super eagles,let him mind that job.He has long made his opinion about European/African coaches disparity know a long time ago,he should take a chill pill and leave further advocacy to the human rights people.

Gregzee: This is his tactics! Keshi should beware

Exactly! From the beginning the Malawian coach has relied on mind games. He knows that he can't win the match, so he's trying to rile people and use that to motivate his players and destabilise the Nigerian team. Keshi should have simply ignored him.

Unfortunately Keshi fell for it. I understand Keshi's comments. He believes that the Malawian coach was being racist and so he replied in like manner. But he was wrong. Fifa might sanction him, but that would only happen after the match.

Re: Tom Saintfiet To Report Keshi To FIFA For 'Racism' by Anniettieufia(m): 5:35am On Aug 24, 2013
I think Mr Keshi should have been civil in his comments here.

That is not what the Nigerian govt sent him to do .

The coach addressed to FIFA was linked to NFF & the Govt,
so he should have left it for the two parties to do their work .

Keshi , i do not support you on this one.
See you on Sept 7th.

Keshi should apologise and get his 2-3 match ban because if it was a white man that said go back to Africa, he would be nagged and frustrated till he resigns.

Calling someone a white dude is not racism.

Throwing mayonnaise at white players, like they throw bananas at us, would be racist.

Keshi has unwittingly gotten himself in some deep trouble. He may be underestimating the import of these obviously racist and derogatory utterances, but the repercussions will be catastrophic for him. I am sure FIFA will not take this lightly. After serving his ban and paying a fine he should learn to speak in a proper manner befitting a national team coach.

I would also call u a racist for calling my dearest Nigeria a jungle. i know that keshi was a little harsh, but please tell us where is “out side Nigeria" that you term as safe. Nigeria may have security issues, but it is not perculia to Nigeria only. Security problem is a world problem, and trying to make it seem as a problem perculia to Nigeria is actually RACISM!!!!!!.

Keshi don fall my hand big time!!!

His action was very unprofessional and he didn't even think about it. He is fast building an A-class coach status for himself if he continues to achieve with the super eagles. But he has to think about the consequences of his action on his reputation. He should ask himself that after super eagles where would he go? Would he be looking for coaching job outside Africa when he has branded himself as a racist coach? May be has a limited ambition to not coach beyond Africa. He needs to think, at his age, experience and exposure, he should surely know better.

The comment were not RACIST, they were RACIAL.
Racist is when you derogate about a colour, especially one which is not yours e.g a white dude calling ballotelli a 'frea..king neega' while racial is when an african american sees you on the streets of Lagos and hollers 'yo, sup ma nigga?'. Keshi simply called him what he is : 'a white man'. Its not derogatory. What a loser!

I am amazed by the number of comments condemning Steven Keshi, why not called the white dude to order for bringing flimsy excuses about not playing in Calabar?

The least fifa can do is to ban keshi (which is Malawian agenda ) even at that, i see no way malawi can escape from been eliminated from world cup race.
