Nigeria legend Keshi buried devoid of promised fanfare Former Nigeria skipper and coach Stephen Keshi has been laid to rest in his village of Ilah, southern Nigeria, Friday afternoon, but without the fanfare promised by the country's government. Keshi, 54, died on June 8 in Benin City. However, it was not the state funeral that the Nigerian government first promised with oil-rich Delta State and Keshi's family organising his final passage beginning with a number of events on Thursday. Nigerian sports minister Solomon Dalung said the government chose a low-key funeral because Keshi left behind a family that has to be catered for. "I am not shocked by the way the government has treated this event," said a disappointed ex-Nigeria captain and teammate of Keshi, Austin Eguavoen. "For instance, most of us have yet to get the houses the government promised us when we won the Nations Cup in 1994. "You are only energised when you have been looked after. "You now wonder if Nigeria is worth fighting for or even dying for." Keshi's son Femi blasted the government for failing to honour a promise of a state funeral for his father. "The federal government did not deliver on the promises they made to us as regards our father's burial," he said. Keshi made history in 2013, when he became only the second man after Mahmoud El Gohary of Egypt to win the Africa Cup of Nations both as a player and a coach. 'Big Boss' will also be remembered as the man who spared off the exodus of Nigerian players to Belgium in the mid-80s when he signed for Anderlecht. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/07/now-wonder-nigeria-worth-fighting-even-dying/ 9 Likes

This govt is the worst I had ever seen! They will never for once deliver on their promise...always giving excuses. I spit on Buhari. Just imaging if GEJ is still the President today, Keshi would have been giving his due "last" respect and recognition. 348 Likes 17 Shares |

The government of our dear country asked the family to postpone the burial until after Olympics due to lack of funds after promising and eventually failing to sponsor the burial. NFF president was booed during the procession and rightly so. How can you owe a man six months salary even at his death? Chaiiiiiiii 145 Likes 9 Shares |

what contribution did the boys he coached to glory make.many of them strive to make it to stardom through the national team amd wen they get there they never give back to their community let alone the nation. we all knw that there was once a govt in nigeria,y now blame the govt for her responsiveness or otherwise?. come to look at things (imo) late keshi(mhsrip) worked for his country and in a contractual capacity and is being paid the same way he was contracted by togo,waiting on the govt for burial right is only discretional and not obligatory otherwise so be it in future case of death of any team member or player of the super eagles. As a matter of fact,i doubt a football body that is not bouyant enough to sponsor its team to a glorious event like the olympics will contribute meaningfully to keshi's burial other than accrue more motuary expenses to the family of the deceased. The family of late stephen keshi is good enough to bury their son and they have done just that,lets all pray for the repose of the soul of the deceased and leave the govt out of this.
