People don't appreciate the good ones until they die.

Muhammad Ali was hated by many white Americans for much of his life until he became frail and ill. When he was combative and forthright about American society he was despised by many.

Stephen Keshi won a title, took the home-based Eagles to the finals of a tournament that they'd never taken seriously and was lauded by coaches across the globe for his methods and Nigerians were calling for his sacking at every point - even immediately after he won the African Nations Cup. Now fools are crying crocodile tears for this great man whom they failed to appreciate when he was alive.

If GEJ died today the same idiots who voted for Buhari would be crying and lamenting his passing and their bad collective judgment.

Abeg somebody should borrow this guys some sense,he talking nonsense


talking about making sense 9jabet, Bet9ja and Naijabet you guys rock jooooooooooooooooooooo

Airforce1:
they wanted him "fired" and they wanted him "dead" are two different meaning.


Buhari wanted Jonathan out of office so he could take over but didn't wanted him dead.

"Didn't wanted" is bad English.. "Did"is past tense of "do" just like "wanted"is past tense of "want"

Alibaba, when a coach is not doing well, he should be replaced, but life and death are two different things compare to career.

Tallesty1:
Don't bet your money on PMB not wanting GEJ dead. Monkey and baboon can be anybody.

Monkey and baboon actually means nonentities like you and Femi Aribisala.

Having fun with someone death, A dirty misconception from Ali baba

MadCow1:



Dear Alibaba...

Do not mix Business with Personal issues. Only petty people do that.

The fact that some of the people mourning the passing of Late Stephen Keshi were the advocates of his termination as Eagles manager does not mean they wanted him dead.

This tweet is pretty senseless.

It's not a senseless tweet...

How people interpret it to mean 'They wanted him dead' baffles me.

Yes, people advocated for his sacking as then Eagles coach despite his achievement with the team, they forgot so soon, he was no longer of value hence 'He had to die to be valued'... Coz most people paying glowing tributes now n eulogizing him were same people who called him all sorts of names back then n wanted him to be relieved of his job by the NFF, how he has now become the messiah of Nigerian football after his demise to same people, that's the message...


@Topic.... I dn't understand how Nigerians critic anything and everything... @AliBABA knew exactly what he meant to say and the message he passed. Enough of the ITK syndrome, please.

A simple message yet many fail to understand, they're instead forming professors of English...

So many unintelligent peepz on the internet, i'm stunned to say the least.

I have lost my respect for Alibaba. Only undeveloped minds would reason this way. How can a sane man at his age come on media to make such statement.

Alibaba, they need to format your brain because you have lost it. How can people/NFA want Keshi dead? Alibaba should tell the world what killed Keshi.

It's quite unfortunate - We live in a grim nation full of wicked & heartless men!

P.s : not everyone is happy when ever you're progressing, be careful !!!

Allibaba watch ur mouth, reason wetin u wan talk before u spill am out.

I beg to differ..

Football was business to Keshi, It was a job that he was paid to do. When he delivered, we all cheered, when he started to falter, we all boo'd. That does not mean we hated him or wanted him dead, #Fact..

His achievements were his achievements. We can never take that away from him, but you don't expect us to keep him on the job and keep paying him to not deliver the Goods.. That's just bad business and does not work like that anywhere in the world.

Now regarding his personal life (which life and death is covered under), we all can pay our respects to him weather he is celebrating life or mourning death. We will recall his achievements and downplay his failures because that's how life works.

Jose Mourinho won the EPL one season and the next they were almost in relegation. The fans clamored for him to be removed.. But I bet you that next season, when Manchester United faces Chelsea or vice versa, Stamford Bridge will be on their feet cheering loudly when Mourinho walks into the Stadium.. Its Business, not personal, Don't muddle those lines.

jhydebaba:
Why Ali Baba dey yarn gibberish now

Absolute trash he's talking.

Oxymoron!

Useless comparison....

What trash is this guy call Ali baba saying for Christ sake.....for example if one want u out from job doesn't mean they want you dead

Ali Baba receive brain in Jesus name

A very irresponsible comment from Alibaba.

Alibaba, i Wonder how you made money..because i know you need to have sense to make money..but this this one said should be from someone without sense ..
work and Death are not same thing
coaching job is linked to performance ...if you know perform , you are sacked..and someone else will take your place..
have you ever heard where a coach refused to take a job because his friend is the one sacked ? nothing like that o...
MOURINHO was courting Van gal job whilst the latter was still in charge of MANU ..does it mean he Wish Van-gal dead? No
so please no link both

Nigerians and comprehension!!!

Keshi's death is not something to be joked with.The statement credited to the comedian is uncalled for.

This Ali Baba na mumu sha.

Why is Alibaba such an olodo like this na.
No wonder his career is nose diving.

The comments is quite immature. What has mourning got to do with sack. The fact that u fire someone doesn't take away the sensitivity of losing the person and pay last respect to the dead. So if u fired your staff for watever reason and he dies u will be jubilation. Ali baba needs to be more objective in his comments

Jadoskii:
illitrates full here.what ali baba means is that keshi wasnt valued while he was alive and his haters that wanted him sacked nd making derogatory remarks about him then are now paying glowing respect to him;a show a shame nd hypocrisy. Read properly b4 u post crap.

Na you dey post crap. Ode.

This is one of the worst statements by a Nigerian this year. Worse that the lies of Lai Mohammed and APC combined.
Ali Baba is pathetic

Airforce1:

Wanted him dead or want him dead
English s not a tink na. nigga pidgin s allowed

adconline:

"Didn't wanted" is bad English.. "Did"is past tense of "do" just like "wanted"is past tense of "want"

oga u left him more confused than he was before. ur explanation even confuse me sef.
"didn't wanted" is poor grammar while "didn't want" is correct grammar.

no offence intended.

That we wanted Keshi to leave the super Eagles was because of his consistent poor results and some personal issues with most of our players.

It does not mean that we wished him death.

Keshi is a legend and we recognize him as such but even if he resurrects, lovers of Nigerian football won't still want him near the super Eagles.

Keshi was a good coach but had bad human management skills.

Ds one no be talk na if we get quarel no be say make death enter oo
