This is my favourite Keshi goal.

Nigeria vs Senegal at the 1992 Nations Cup in Senegal.

I was a bit worried that we were going to play the hosts, but my brother was more confident. He said that we always defeat tournament hosts because we are usually more serious when we play them. I thought of this game as the Keshi vs Bocande match and I was right. The two captains determined the result of the game.

Siasa scored first for Nigeria and Bocande equalised after a mistake by Keshi. Then Keshi fired in a lovely shot in the dying minutes of the game and it ended

Nigeria 2-1 Senegal.

I found out (on Segun Odegbami's Sunday Sports Show) that this goal was voted the third best goal of the competition. My brother felt that it was the best goal.

Life is transient, so sad his wife passed away not quite long.


Rest in Peace Skippo

RIP Coach Stephen Keshi

This must be a fake news.

[b]Nigerian football icon Stephen Okechukwu Keshi died suddenly in the early hours of Wednesday in Benin City, Edo state, FINANCIAL WATCH can report.
The former international football player and coach had lost his wife of 33 years, Kate, last year after a prolonged battle with cancer.

TheCable confirmed his death from a member of his family as well as one of his close associates.

“He was not ill at all, never showed any signs of illness, but we suspect he never got over the death of his wife,” a friend said.

He is survived by four children and his mother.

Keshi, the only Nigerian coach to have won the Africa Cup of Nations, achieved a rare feat in 2013 by becoming only the second person to win the trophy both as a player and a coach.

The only other person to have achieved the feat is Egypt’s Mahmoud El-Gohary.

Keshi, a product of St. Finbarr’s College, Akoka, Lagos, started his playing career at a very young age at ACB Football Club, and later played for New Nigeria Bank, Stade d’Abidjan, Africa Sports, Lokeren, Anderlecht, RC Strasbourg, and a host of other clubs.

He represented Nigeria from 1982, at age 20, till 1994, most of the time captaining the Super Eagles and scoring vital goals from his position as a central defender.

He also coached Togo and Nigeria at the World Cup, as well as Mali.

Keshi, nicknamed the “Big Boss” for his leadership skills, is the fifth member of the all-conquering 1994 team to die, following Uche Okafor, Thompson Oliha, Rashidi Yekini and Wilfred Agbonavbare.

Sad sad day for Nigerian sports! I feel so guilty coz I never saw him like the true legend he was and still is. I was quick to look at his imperfections and ego even though he gave all Nigerians much more happiness than all our politicians put together. I pray God to grant him eternal rest and help me to love our living true Heroes beyond their imperfections.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family!!

May you rest well.
