Stephen Okechukwu Keshi Speaks On The Difficulties He Experienced As
Nigerian Coach. Let Hear Him:
"We never had anywhere decent to train. The Abuja National Stadium is filled
with sand and the worst kind of sand. That means when someone goes to
ground he will have skin wounds.

I and my assistants spend our own money to buy training cones and some of
the things we use for training sessions. In most countries of the world when
a coach is hired he brings in his own coaching team. Well for two years now I
have been told to pay the salary of my assistant Valery Houandinou,
someone who has been with me from Togo through to Mali – where those
countries paid his salary alongside paying mine.
In two and half years, I had no official residence. I stayed in a hotel. I had no
official car. I thank God for Chief Mike Adenuga for those two cars he gave to
me after the Afcon win. However, these federation officials will continue to
trumpet that “they gave Keshi everything to succeed.
Mali is one of the poorest countries in Africa but I was given my place of
residence and an official car within three days of me taking on the job. I also
had a house in Togo and was never owed salaries"
