Onigbinde Writes Keshi, Asks Him To Quit Super-Eagles Job by TheRealMrStan(m): 9:10am On Dec 19, 2014
A former coach of Nigeria, Adegboye Onigbinde, has disclosed that he has personally written to out-of-contract Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, to quietly seek a job elsewhere.

Onigbinde spoke with a Nigerian online news portal SuperSport.com.

Of late the calls have been deafening mostly from former Nigerian managers for the erstwhile Mali and Togo coach to leave the Eagles job after he failed to qualify the country for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in a dismal fashion. The latest calls for Keshi to quite have come from Christian Chukwu, Shaibu Amodu, and Kashimawo Laloko, among others.

Onigbinde said he would not like to be seen repeating himself on Keshi and Eagles’ job as he has specifically asked him then to politely thank the president for considering him worthy for recall and bow out honourably.

Onigbinde said, “On the very day the Presidency asked him to return to his job I personally sent him a text message to politely thank Mr President for the offer and bow out honourably and quietly, too.

“Keshi respectfully replied the text message thanking me and that was it as he went ahead with the two remaining 2015 AFCON qualifying matches against Congo and South Africa, I’m sure the rest is history.

“I volunteered the advice to Keshi because I understand that he won’t work with the Presidency but a different set of people as well as an entirely different environment.

“Now that others have picked up the calls I have the privilege to have said over two months ago I won’t like to engage in an exercise that will appear repetitious so that I won’t be accused of having interest in the whole matter.

“I’m not used to pressurising people to act in certain way, I’ve passed my view directly to him, I don’t need to pressurise him further on same thing.”

Onigbinde insisted that administration is the bane of the nation’s football development while he condemned the football house for half-heartedly implementation of his suggestions on match analysis.

“The major problem of football in the land is administration, I’ve written several papers on the need for a virile technical department which is key to football development.

“In other lands it’s called technical and development department because without development then everybody could as well go to sleep. I suggested that some people be trained as match analysts but the persons I saw on the list the NFF wants to train made me to laugh.

“The major mistakes we keep repeating are to assume that ex-footballers are automatic administrators, it’s quite wrong. Jose Mourinho and Arrigo Sacchi weren’t star players but you can’t rival their administrative and technical finesse.

“Being a star player doesn’t make you sound administrator or technical expert, it’s clearly a special calling,” Onigbinde said. [PUNCH}

Keshi needs to quit as soon as possible... He has lost his value in the nigeria team, we need mourinho to coach the super eagles.

Resign kwa? On top wetin? Has his boss who's in charge of our country at a time when boko haram is hoisting their jihad flag resigned?

High Chief Onigbinde, please do not bother advising Mr Clueless jnr(Keshi) who inherited the gene for cluelessness from his Oga @ d top(Jona). An African adage said 'It's the ovation of the spectators that tells a dancer he is doing well' Keshi, who has been telling you dt u'r doing well o?

If Onigbinde is interested in the job, why can't he him to the glass house and make his intention known instead of wasting his time writing to Keshi to quit.
After all, is he better than Keshi

IN A SANE world without sycophants, someone would have been telling President Goodluck Jonathan that his reinstatement of Keshi as Eagles coach has backfired and that he should now vacate his directive so that the NFF can decide freely on a new way forward for the Super Eagles.

If Keshi accepts counsel, he should be the first to make the move through his highly-placed contacts that got him the president’s intervention in the first place. He should thank the president for believing in him, but “plead” that his position is now untenable because he failed to qualify for the AFCON. He should tell the president that he is making “a personal sacrifice” of stepping down for the good of Nigerian football. But stepping down is an alien concept in the Nigerian polity and you can be sure that Keshi will not be stepping down anytime soon.

If Keshi doesn’t make the move, the man who should act next is minister of sport, Tammy Danagogo. As a federal minister, Danagogo should have the ears of the president on matters like this, but recent events do not uphold this assumption. For example, Danagogo ultimately couldn’t influence the outcome of the last NFF elections despite his attempts to do so.

Subsequently, he was not consulted before the new NFF terminated Keshi’s appointment. He also was not consulted when Keshi got his own contacts to get the president to reinstate him. Danagogo was equally helpless when state security officials stopped NFF president Amaju Pinnick from travelling with him to Equatorial Guinea for the final of the African Women’s Championships. I doubt seriously if Danagogo can summon the courage to tell Mr. President to reverse himself even if he (Danagogo) believes that Keshi should go. He can’t do it.

If Danagogo can’t, the next man in line should be Pinnick, but he dare not lest he gets himself sacked instead by the president! After the disappointment in Uyo, Pinnick and his executive committee members quickly made a press release “accepting responsibility” for the Eagles ouster! Observers believe Pinnick claimed responsibility so that he is not perceived by Aso Rock to be blaming the AFCON ouster on the president’s decision to reinstate Keshi.

Finally, the last man that should reverse President Jonathan’s decision on Keshi is the president himself. Sadly, too, recent events do not raise any hope that this will happen. Even when many Nigerian youths died during a recruitment exercise by the Nigerian Immigration Service not too long ago, the president refused to act and the minister in charge is still in office today. Keshi has not even killed anybody! He only failed to qualify for AFCON, so why should the president remove him?

Take notice that I have not mentioned the media and the general public as possible power blocks capable of exerting pressure on the president in the Keshi matter. In Nigeria, media and public opinion count for nothing!
