All of you guys should shut your mouth up and allow the coach to do his job,what do you guys know about coaching and football.you just sit down dere to critisize and reigning insult on people.This is the man that helped us to win afcon trophy almost after 20yrs,not just that he also made us to reach the second round of the just concluded 2014 world cup final in brazil,when last did we ever get to the second round again.the man has kept a clean sheet so far so lets give him some credit abeg.insulting him is not called for jor,lets praise him for once,i think the man has really tried for nigeria.he's a patriotic nigerian i can see that in him.lets all support him and take our football forward instead of critisizing who's good and bad.He's the coach he should be allowed to do his job.I hope we qualify for afcon 2015 in morrocco next year and also win the trophy again.finally i think keshi is the best coach in africa.if he's not good then why was he voted as the best coach in africa both last year and this year by confederation of african football.lets all support them and keep the flag flying.God bless you all.

Can the NFA chairman aspirants express their views on retaining Keshi? I know Maigari already had written him off - the bane of his lockups. Why was Odegbami disqualified from running? Water don pass gari - that's keshi's brain - rotten banana & ogi.

I was looking forward to the return of ideye and someone like arokoyo in the squad. Kudos to keshi for bring in new faces like akpan, sunday Emmanuel, etc Aaron samuel is doing well in china so his inclusion is welcomed. Let's see how it goes with them, but Good squad i must say.

Honestly think our dictionary should define Stubborn as Keshi,this guy's so stubborn,doesn't want advice but goes on doing his thing when the nation's suffering..happy some Nigerians got opportunity to represent the country,but the times Keshi has put us in demands we use our best soldiers,Abroad and home Ike,abiola,ajagun should be part of this team,they are some of our best soldiers

Nigeria not making it to Morocco will be a blessing in disguise because Nigeria will NEVER improve under KESHI. @ League 11. Your list is reasonable, but do expect unreasonable and unprofessional person like Keshi to do the RIGHT THING? The fact is between you and Keshi, I will even pick you over him because he is NO COACH. Mark my word, Keshi will never coach any elite African team when he is shown the door.

There is no dept in d midfield, there must be combination of natural defensive midfirlder , attacking midfielder and box to box midfielder for d game to flow. How can a sensible coach play Onazi, Azeez and mikel at d same time. now he droped Azeez to invite a player of his kind. Meanwhile what is all this gamble with a player in Chinese league when we have Ajagun, Igboun, Dauda, Igboananike, Ideye? what is actually d sin of Iheanacho? Keshi is really trying to impress people by extending invitation to new players but I cant see any tactical purpose for inviting some players and so I am not expecting any miracle

@GoodLuck_Jonathan, In the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty! That's the answer to the vexing dilemma. He keeps digging the garbage pit to extend the visas of those on the verge of deportation from the lowly eastern pan of the Euphrates while the high flying eagles from the Euro and championship are deemed surplus to material. His take on ihenacho is most perplexing ... if I were Ihenacho, I will boycott keshi and play only when when he's finally shown the door. Very soon he will be looking for Eagle players from the Indian league. His disease is of neurotic origins - some dokintas call it senility - debilitating Alzheimer a dead brain from the old school. He is not a visionary, but an agbepo.
