0monnak0da: No he does not if he breaks the FIFA racism rules he will be sanctioned. Nigerians do not understand rules but they will pay the price. I remember our funny GEJ and his petulant reaction after the World Cup. Did he not fall in line in the end. This is not Lagos or Abuja where anything goes. I expect Keshi to deny those remarks or apologize do not be deceivedYou are the one who doesn't understand rules, FIFA doesn't mix politics with football and that's what Saintfiet was trying to do. You said the man is winning but if 2 people are involved in a fight, the one who cries and goes to report is the loser. Keshi 3 Saintfiet 0 2 Likes |

collynzo2: Another absolute trash! What is official about that document? It's just the OPINION of a British organisation. For the records Calabar is safer than London, a bomb has never gone off in Calabar, neither has a soldier been beheaded. Such useless documents have never been used in football. If you and Keshi had any atom of common sense, you will know those travel advisories are official documents from credible diplomatic organisations and there is course to worry. What Keshi and the NFF should have simply done is to provide evidence to the contrary, it is common sense, an official and polite way of responding to such issues. However, Keshi has shown how classless and ignorant he is as he has responded like a nairaland troll without common sense. He is not a nairaland troll. He is a leader, the manager of Nigeria's national team and it demands more responsibility and caution when he speaks or writes. 1 Like |

collynzo2: The TV presenters interviewed him on phone, the youtube link is on this thread. He can't deny his voice and I support everthing he said. I've read the news on some Malawian sites and they agreed that Saintfiet is white and he should go back to Belgium after losing to Nigeria.It really is irrelevant whether you and your entire village support what he said. It is for FIFA to determine whether the remarks break their rules and to take appropriate action.FIFA does not operate like Nairaland or Nigeria.They have rules written in black and white and if a rule is broken sanctions follow.

You said the man is winning but if 2 people are involved in a fight, the one who cries and goes to report is the loser. Keshi 3 Saintfiet 0 "The one who cries and goes to report is the loser" OK He says he will report Keshi to FIFA so let us wait for that. The only relevant fight here is the football game. That is what Nigerians are interested in.The Malawi coach knows his hand on the field is weak and so he is opening up another fight which Keshi should have ignored COMPLETELY and focussed on the game. Keshi has shown immaturity/inexperience by getting involved. If a dog barks is it right to join it in barking? |

Nonybb: Keshi was right. Let the white dude go back to his white world and leave us africans alone. Go to ukraine, go to russia and see where the word "monkeys" are flying around like greeting yet no white is brought to book there. The Problem with africans is that we have inferiority complex while a white man has the superiority complex and until we show them that we are equally of a superior race then the problem of equality or less inferiority persist. Am proud that an african man is seen to be BETTER, we should be living in a Black man world not the other way round You are not making any sense, you can't complain about racism when you are doing the same thing, Keshi's reply was wrong and unacceptable as a professional football coach who even lived and played in Belgium for years! He is asking the 'white man' to go back to his country while the same Keshi lived and played overseas for many years. What s hypocrite he is 1 Like |

If you had common sense, you would have known than NFF has already proven to FIFA that Calabar is safe that's why they said Malawi MUST honour the match in Calabar.

Muscomide: Shame on Keshi for shooting the messenger. The fact is that no place in the Nigeria of today can be said to be safe. Moreover, a coach of Keshi's standing should be better able to put his point across in a diplomatic way without coming across like a racist thug. We need to keep our house in order and not blame non Nigerians who perceive our country to be unsafe. ogaah. no place in d world is 100% safe. as far as i'm concerned calabar is saferr than many cities in europe & US 1 Like |

Ikenna94: d point keshi is tryin to make is dat african teams shud stop givin jobs to roadside foreign coachesKeshi is not self employed ,he is representing Nigeria.He is not there to "make points" or give opinions unless they are those of his employer. Is it the view of the NFF that white coaches are not welcome in Africa. People commenting here obviously have never held any position of responsibility that is why they speak immaturely. Imagine If Mourinho says that about Mike Emenalo he will lose his job the next day. Or if a white player gets up and says European teams should stop employing African or gay players. |

0monnak0da:Keshi was only replying to questions, he never organised a press conference to give his opinion. He was asked the same question immediately after the South Africa match, he said Saintfiet can choose not to come to Nigeria if he wants. The presenters of that TV program called him on phone to ask the same question again and he gave the reply that is making Saintfiet to cry now. If you must blame, then blame the journalist asking him questions. 1 Like |

That's evidence that FIFA doesn't recognise such useless documents, even mulitnational companies don't recognise them. No one does! Like I said, common sense is not expected from a nairaland troll. It is an official advisory from a reputable diplomatic source, it is not compelling to take the contents serious. However, he has chosen to take the warnings contained in the document serious. What are you going to do if not present an official position to counter the warnings in the document. That is common sense, an official way of responding to issues, it is leadership behaviour expected from the manager of a national team. He is not expected to be at the same level of your thought.

Muscomide: I am certain that majority of Keshi's critics are Nigerians in disapora, mostly In Europe and America. There is a certain awareness of norms of behaviour and tact which comes from living in the West. Untravelled NIgerians are unlikely to see anything wrong in Keshi's behaviour and words. I guess the folks in Nigeria defending Keshi's utterances have not actually bothered to listen to the audio and video recording of the interview due to the phone charges that will be incurred. Our country would be transformed for the better if more of our people are exposed to the norms of behaviour, the restraint and tact that obtains in most advanced societies. Keshi needs to engage his brain before opening his mouth or risk bringing ridicule not only on himself and his position, but on Nigeria as a whole. Enough of this mediocrity in our national life. I think the problem was created by our government not sending a message to this white dude not to make silly remarks. Can he make these remarks against Egypt and Tunisia? If leaving overseas condones someone insulting another persons home country, I wonder how a wildly travelled person like coach Keshi can see the white dude's remarks as insulting. |
