supereagle: FIFA has given Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi until September 19 to respond to the comments he made on former Malawi coach Tom Saintfeit, THISDAY Sports gathered authoritatively last night.
The deadline was issued in a letter received by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) from FIFA before the decisive World Cup 2014 qualifier between Nigeria and Malawi in Calabar on September 7.

In the letter, FIFA gave Keshi a two-week ultimatum to respond to the Belgian coach’s allegations. The deadline for Keshi to reply is next week Thursday.

We learnt last night that NFF leadership plans to summon Keshi to a meeting on how a soft landing defence can be presented to FIFA.

Saintfeit had alleged that Keshi racially abused him by the reference to him as ’’a white dude who should go back to Belgium", in a charged response to Saintfeit’s request for the World Cup qualifier to be moved from Calabar on safety concern.

The Belgian, who failed to secure an appointment with NFF as a Technical Director last year, after he had attended an interview in Abuja, caused uneasiness in Nigeria, when he asked FIFA to move the crucial fixture to Abuja or a neutral country, because the UK's Foreign & Commonwealth Office had pronounced Calabar as a no-travel area.

His comments prompted FIFA to demand for a full security cover from Nigeria which was provided by the Inspector General of Police Mohammed Abubakar, before Calabar was declared fit to host the match.
The Eagles coach innocuously responded to Saintfeit’s comment to stoke the tension leading to the match by granting a phone interview aired on UK-based African TV show.

Keshi was angered and in the abridged interview he said:"I think the coach of Malawi is crazy. If he wants to talk to FIFA, he should go back to Belgium. He is not an African person, he is a white dude; he should go back to Belgium."

The comments were regarded as an extraordinary slur by Saintfeit who forced a complaint to be sent on his behalf to FIFA by his former employers, the Football Association of Malawi (FAM).

FAM wanted an action to be taken against Keshi for the comments, a demand which FIFA failed to deal with it before the important fixture which Nigeria won 2-0 to top Group B for a place to the last stage of Africa’s qualifying round in October – November.

FIFA has a zero-tolerance stance on racism as a way to control acts of discrimination in the football.

Tolexander: OMG!

If FIFA wants to sanction him, let it be after the playoff o.

omajali2003: What is wrong in calling a white ' a white dude'? I can as well call sep Blatter a white dude and call Isah Hayatu a 'black dude' It is either you are a black dude or a white dude. Is the man not a white dude? Secondly, Keshi asked him to go to his country, Belgium. Is there any thing wrong with advising a white dude to go to his country? Perhaps his kids are missing him and instead of wating away in Malawi. Thirdly, Keshi called him crazy. Is it not crazy to tell Fifa to move our own match to a neutral ground? Is he suggesting that the match be moved to syria or Egypt? Is it not crazy to say our match should be moved from the land of Obudu ranch, the land of Tinapa, and the neatest land in Nigeria - Calabar! It's crazy. Keshi, the black dude, is right about what he said to the white dude. Fifa will be crazy to sanction this our black dude. I rest my case

Shinatu: I am now convinced that many people cannot make an objective judgment once it is something they are passionate about.
So bananas have been trown in the past, is this particular white guy the one that threw the bananas?
The guy's request was based on a security advice issued by an organised body responsible for doing that and it was just a request!
Which was investigated and rejected, so what is Keshi getting furious about making unneccesary 'agbero' comments?

omajali2003: What is wrong in calling a white ' a white dude'? I can as well call sep Blatter a white dude and call Isah Hayatu a 'black dude' It is either you are a black dude or a white dude. Is the man not a white dude? Secondly, Keshi asked him to go to his country, Belgium. Is there any thing wrong with advising a white dude to go to his country? Perhaps his kids are missing him and instead of wating away in Malawi. Thirdly, Keshi called him crazy. Is it not crazy to tell Fifa to move our own match to a neutral ground? Is he suggesting that the match be moved to syria or Egypt? Is it not crazy to say our match should be moved from the land of Obudu ranch, the land of Tinapa, and the neatest land in Nigeria - Calabar! It's crazy. Keshi, the black dude, is right about what he said to the white dude. Fifa will be crazy to sanction this our black dude. I rest my case

rhema4u: Who get small pin charger?

russello:
I get 3....
Make u try come mama Bode shop...i go soon commot

omar22: If The head coach for the English national team had said the same to a black coach

he will be SACKED ON THE SPOT

Keshi should have engaged his brain before he opened his mouth. Can you imagine someone who had a chunk of career in Belgium been told to go back to Africa by his colleagues at Andelect how would he feel!

he said:"I think the coach of Malawi is crazy. If he wants to talk to FIFA, he should go back to Belgium. He is not an African person, he is a white dude; he should go back to Belgium."

searay: Abeg wetin Keshi does?

ThaProphet: What I think Keshi meant (which he did not fully assert according to the comments we are hearing) is that the Malawian coach had no business telling Afrikans whether or not, a location is safe. If it is not safe enough for you and you want to report to Fifa (an organisation based outside Afrika, not CAF) then perhaps Afrika is not good enough for you, go to Belgium. I think the guy should have taken the safety issue up with CAF first, not go directly to Fifa.

Coach Keshi got angry and let the anger overcome him. Seriously, the Malawian coach was stupid for saying what he said. I think the Malawian coach was spiteful because he did not get the Nigerian job. Keshi responded with spite as well because the dude just insulted his country. He could have been a lot smarter with his comments though. Also, the full interview and the question Keshi was asked needs to be supplied.

This will be interesting. Any action/sanction ideally would be on Keshi but I will not be surprised if the entire team suffers for it and Malawi goes to the World Cup.

andyanders:

That action has nothing to do with our qualification. FIFA can sanction him by asking him to pay fine and also ban him from for some number of FIFA organized matches,
