Good, but Amodu Shaibu is old testament coach na. From fire to flying pan He has nothing to offer. Let Nigeria appoint Sunday Oliseh with Slyvanus Okpala, believe me they will perform very well

All we've got is the best of Keshi. If we are satisfy with his results we let him stay, if not let say goodbye to that man forever cos he is not ready to improve.

From all I know, this Shuaibu is no better than Keshi. Since Westerhof and Bonfere left, Keshi has the best record so far even better than most of the expatriate that came thereafter
