If this is really true, then the Nigerian government should be ashamed of itself. Stephen Keshi’s son, Femi, has blasted the federal government and others for failing to keep their promises to the family despite pledging to honor the late football icon.
Femi took to his Instagram page to pour out his mind concerning the issue.
I sat in front of the federal government on national television a few weeks ago and they promised they would honor pops the way he deserves. They said that he has done to much for the country for them not to.
They made us change dates to fit the federal governments schedule. But they didn't do as promised, we aren't mad, nor sad, just disappointed, they should be ashamed of themselves. This sends a terrible message to our youth that are striving to do great things for Nigeria. The good thing is that We was raised not to ask for handouts.
There will be no more postponements, today the funeral ceremonies began in Benin, the place he loved, where his career started. My sisters, brother and I held it down, with the help of a few others, and now we are putting our pops to rest. We don't owe anyone shit and we can say they owe pops everything. No salt, it is not the people's fault, we still love Nigeria as pops did.

how can they honour him? he is an Igbo man and also a xtian, but let me tell APC leaders that they are not the owner of Nigeria, God is still on the throne.
