KESHI'S SACK: NIGERIANS REACTS

 The Nigeria Football Federation yesterday  has announced Stephen Keshi’s contract as head coach of the Super Eagles terminated.

The 53-year-old who was re-appointed as the senior national team coach in April was fired yesterday and is to be replaced in the interim by his assistant Salisu Yusuf and the Technical Directorate of the NFF led by Amodu Shuaibu.

Naturally, his dismissal generated much discussions and comments on Twitter.

Here are few of your opinions and insight over the days since the news broke.

The majority of people expressed cynicism about the Big Boss’s relationship with his former employers.

And so Coach Stephen Okechukwu Keshi has been summarily SACKED by his employers, NFF It was a marriage of convenience from the start. *sigh*

Corruption and insincerity in out football did not start today. Westerhof faced the same and thrived. Keshi achieved a measure of success...

The moment the former DG of the SSS was fired, Keshi was a goner.That's what happens when you keep a job through power brokers &not merit.

 Many mouths may wag but for the Glass House chiefs, it was one indiscretion too many. He may have (eventually) been forgiven for missing out on the 2015 AFCON, and also considering the victory against Chad may at least have given some hope for a return to past glories, but it seems ultimately, the Ivorian scandal has cost the BIG BOSS more than he bargain for.

Let's hope and  see what the future holds for the sport in Nigeria.
