ballabriggs: The white dude case is clearly based on race. He would never say that if it was Egypt, Tunisia or London. He actually wanted to coach here now it is unsafe. Please with your superiority complex, how is Calabar unsafe, if he wasn't insulting us? |

ballabriggs: What concerns Malawian FA here. Did Coach Keshi talk about Malawian FA? Coach Keshi was talking about what the white dude said. The white dude said Calabar is unsafe. Is that statement based on fact? This white dude has visited Abuja after it has had bomb attacks. So he knows the level of security that is in the nation. Now he feels Nigeria is unsafe. Can he do that against Egypt or Tunisia? |

^ don't mind saintfiet. Though Keshi has absolutely no obligation to speak the way he did. Its very wrong and it portrays him (Keshi) as a weak personality. . . But the reality is. . .saintfiet's action is insultive. Its like smelling blood around you and stepping on someones wound and when you are questioned you say 'sorry but your leg was on my way and I didn't see it' That's a camoflaged sneaky type of innocence. . . Issues bothering around Nigerian security issues are very sensitive to every Nigerian citizen. Some families are still mourning, some are confused, some pray for safety daily. . . So you don't CARELESSLY rub on issues bothering this security challenges without stepping on the Nigerian citizen's festering sore. Saintfiet was very CARELESS in his actions. What bomb blast incidence has been reported in calabar? How many kidnapping incidence has been recorded? Hasn't all the Nigerian qualifeir matches been played in calabar till date and been certified 'safe' by FIFA? Isn't calabar a very serene and peaceful place to play football presently without fans distractions like lagos, political distractions like Abuja and security risk like Kaduna? Aren't there numerous whitemen thriving peacefully in their business in that beautiful city presently? Hasn't calabar been warm and welcoming to all the teams that have come to play us? Saintfiet does not care about weighing this reality. . . He would rather step on issues bothering the Nigerian festering sore for his own pleasure. FIFA has proven to be wiser and more responsible than saintfiet. . .that same Calabar is where he would play on the 6th and this time around it may not be as friendly to him and his crew as it has always been because he has stepped on A SORE. Anyways Mr Keshi. . .you were careless too. That's not professional nor Godly at all. . .in anyways welcome to a WHITEMAN's world. . .atleast. . .a 3-match ban is standing before your uncouth mouth ![]() |

Dnt applaud whats badt unda any guise.bsides, if a whyt had sed somfin half as worse,he'ld hav bin hung by africans nd d media Was Coach Keshi rude, yes but for the White dude to say Calabar is unsafe, he clearly deserved a rude response. It is high time we deserve some respect. They can't treat Ghana the way they treat Nigeria. Is Coach Keshi's statement racist? Hell no. The man is white and feels Calabar is unsafe. A black Malawi man will not feel it is unsafe. So it is better the white dude coaches where he feels safe and those that are ready to deal with coaching in Africa do the job. |

However hard Nigerians try to justify Keshi's slur against the Malawi coach, one thing is certain: our man has commited a major rhetorical gaffe. In today's politically correct world of football, you simply can't tell "black" or "white dudes" to "go home." We can shout ourselves hoarse or troll insult-ridden posts on Nairaland until our fingers become numb, but we will never change the fact that FIFA abhors the kind of race-tinged tirade that Keshi released against Saintfeit. I suspect that the NFF knows this, which is probably why no senior official has yet jumped to Keshi's defence. In any case, we will all agree that had Keshi not uttered his rather rash comments, the issue of match venue would almost certainly have passed off as the trifling issue that it is. So should we then congratulate Keshi for his faux pas? Is it ingenious to antagonise your prospective opponents - and possibly the FIFA match officials - in a match you are likely to win? Of what practical usefulness are Keshi's comments other than perhaps to make heroes of the Malawians and to elicit sympathy for their expatriate Belgian coach? Let's call a spade a spade: Keshi could have spoken his mind in a better, more civilised, way. 2 Likes |

In as much as I liked Keshi, I have been less of a fan of his since his second appointment. Nigerians are known for their emotions and it is clear even when we talk. Because we are an emotional people, it will be difficult to draw the line in Keshi's statement. In other to simplify this, can you imagine if a white person says to Mikel,that he is mad and the black guy should go back to Africa. I believe you know that by now, he would have been fired, and many of us here taking Keshi's since would still be castigating him. Historically, the white have been unfair, but that doesn't excuse us acting in any racial manner especially not when there is so much work abt kicking out racism. Keshi should be more careful in his utterances without obviously exposing his racial biases. Laptop warriors, please digest before throwing tantrums. 1 Like |

ugogboskey: What has come over Keshi! His success so far notwithstanding, I think that Keshi has some sort of character issues. He can do better than that for God's sake. Nothing the Malawian coach has said warranted such language from Keshi... Dude, he requested for anti-bomb squad for the match to be played in Calabar. This is Calabar we are talking about. Peaceful Calabar. I'm fully with Keshi. He should go back to Belgium. If he had any brains ......... 1 Like |
