According to a Vanguard reporter who spoke with Stephen Keshi in Brazil, the Super Eagles coach is angry at Nigerian fans for abusing him over the team's performance at the on-going World Cup in Brazil. Keshi said there was absolutely no justification for fans to insult him and his family.
"It’s a shame, just a shame that we keep doing the same thing and then they come back and they say they are sorry. Sorry ...for abusing my mum? Sorry for abusing my siblings? For what? That I am representing Nigeria?”"I am disappointed, totally disappointed (by the personal attacks), but it’s their thing, no wahala (no problem).
Keshi also lambasted his fellow former football stars who have criticized his team and his tactics in Brazil, saying he had expected much better from them as they ought to know better about the game than the man on the street.
