Today is one of the saddest day in the Nigeria, a national hero has just gone Home. Stephen keshi was more than a coach, he was a man with integrity. After winning 64 Nigeria caps as a central defender between 1981-95, Keshi had three stints in charge of Togo before taking over as Nigeria coach in 2011 until last year. He also coached Mali between 2008-10. He led Nigeria to the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations title, defeating Burkina Faso in the final in South Africa before guiding them to the second round of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. He was sacked recently last July as the head of the Nigerian football coach for the last time by the Nigerian football federation. The Chairman of the EFA, Frank Ilaboya, confirmed that keshi only complained of a leg ailment and he died on his way to the hospital about 3am this morning. Keshi will be remembered for his strength of character and accomplishments, as a player and coach; he is our national hero. Our condolences to his family. He is survived by his four children and mother. He died at 54 years of age
