Keshi Gets His Money

Reports reaching all9jafootball is that Nigerian sports minister has paid coach Stephen Keshi for the past two months to further undermine the authority of the NFF over the coach.

It was understood that Keshi has been paid 14 million Naira (about $83,000) for October and November by sports minister Tammy Danagogo even though there is no contractual agreement between the coach and the NFF.

A top source said: “The minister has been paying Keshi directly from the NFF subvention without any input from the NFF.

“This cannot be good for the relationship between employer and employee.”

Keshi was in charge for the AFCON qualifiers double header against Sudan in October and then the qualifiers against Congo and South Africa last month.
