‘’I’m always criticized. Even if I win or draw, they will always criticize me. We don’t have the patience in my country. In every outing, they want to win at all cost. It does not make any difference when am criticized”, he told the world in a post match conference.,

Keshi’s outburst is not new. When he won the African Cup of Nations in South Africa, he said that he came from a country where everybody was a coach. Not only that. He resigned his job in one of his interviews with foreign journalists but swallowed his words and denied it when top Government officials stepped in.
