Politics / Re: Bashir El-rufai Under Fire For Calling Fayose A "Vagabond" On Twitter (snapshots by Embell: 5:04pm On Jul 08, 2015 |
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Fayose drew the 1st blood. Howbeit, I would have prefer this statement coming from someone else(an ordinary Nigerian youth). |

As much as we cherish European coaches who had made impact e.g Morinho and even those ones who rarely win trophies like 'ijebu man' we must also celebrate this man who won his 1st competition as S.E coach. |
Sports / A Compendium Of Keshi's Records By A Nairalander. by Embell: 11:05am On Jun 30, 2015 |
Every football fans in Nigeria have different perception about this man, howbeit his records achievement still remain. Let's go he into main the issue: Stephen Okechukwu Keshi (born 23 January 1962) is a Nigerian former football defender . He is currently the football manager of Nigeria. Some of his records include the following; 1. He is one of only two people, along with Egypt 's Mahmoud El-Gohary , to have won the Africa Cup of Nations as both a player and a coach. 2.Between 2004 and 2006 Keshi coached the Togo national football team , unexpectedly bringing them to their first World Cup tournament, Germany 2006 . Having secured Togo's unlikely qualification, he was promptly replaced by German coach Otto Pfister prior to the World Cup finals, after Togo showed a dismal performance and failed to advance to the knock-out stage in 2006 African Cup of Nations in Egypt. 3. Keshi is the first and only indigenous(Nigerian) coach to win the african cup of nations for Nigeria. 4. Nigeria never won any trophy since he left the national team as the captain. It was only after his return to national team as the coach, that Nigeria won its first trophy since 1994. 5. On 18 November 2013, Stephen keshi set a record in African football by being the first African coach to successfully qualify two African nations (Nigeria and Togo) to the World Cup Finals. He also helped Nigeria become the first country to achieve an African Cup of Nations trophy and World Cup qualification, both in 2013. 6.In september 2014 keshi was rank 14th best national team coach in the world just within his first three year as the coach of Nigeria national side. 7.The 'big boss' as keshi is fondly called adopt attacking style of football even when his team is trailing,when playing against highly rated opponents, or when playing without his key players, example is the 2013 FIFA co-federation cup when his team was without Emenike, Moses and, Onazi who were then in top form. In an interview with Fifa.com before Nigeria's opening opening march against Iran Keshi said; I like attacking football. I don't believe you need to sit back and load behind. You've got to be open and make the people come to the stadium. They spend so much money – they need to get value for it. Good, attacking football is what I like. Of course there must be purpose and discipline and togetherness to make the good football work. 8. Keshi never lost any competitive match since 2011 when he was appointed by NFF. However his unbeating run was ended by forlan in a confederation cup match. Interestingly, it was a end to forlan's goal drought in 12 matches. 9. Keshi's team don't lose match without replying opponent with goals except on very few occasion notably Spain and France......and... 10. He remains the first and only Nigerian footballer to win the African Nations Cup for Nigeria as a player and as a coach. He is also the first former national team captain to play at the World Cup and also win a World Cup ticket for Nigeria as a coach. 11. He is the the first Nigeria national team captain to secure and lead Nigeria to its first world cup, where Nigeria reach second round. 12. He lead Nigeria to world cup second round thrice; twice as the team captain in 1994 and 1998 and once as a coach, in 2014. *WRITTEN BY EMBELL* REFERENCES http://m.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y=2014/m=6/news=keshi-tactical-discipline-has-let-african-teams-down-2368609.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Keshi http://www.premiumtimesng.com/sports/168374-fifa-names-keshi-best-african-coach.html http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/confed-cup-forlan-ends-keshis-unbeaten-run/151077 seun lalasticlala |
