Keshi has not been paid
Broke Nigeria FA have again fallen behind in the payment of the salaries of country’s coach Stephen Keshi, according to a media report.

Keshi, who is on a monthly salary of five million Naira (over $31,000), has yet to be paid for the months of March, April and May, according to daily sports newspaper Sporting Life.

The Eagles coach has also yet to take delivery of an official car and a rented house in Abuja as promised by the NFF in the contract he signed in November.

The former international skipper has now been forced to move to his personal house in Benin City after the training camp of the national team closed last weekend at the end of the 2013 Nations Cup qualifier against Rwanda in Calabar.

The situation has not been helped by the poor financial position of the federation, who have shelled out a fortune to prosecute three straight full internationals this month.

The NFF are now short of funds and have already pulled out of two international competitions as a result.

The country’s team withdrew from the FIFA FUTSAL World Cup qualifying series and also an U15 team will no longer feature at an invitational tournament in Mexico because of the cash crunch.

Why wont they be broke - a bunch of misguided opportunist. Why on earth did they go to prosecute an away game against Malawi with a contingent of over 113 persons. Besides the 23 players and coaching staff, who were the others and what role did they play in the game?

Visionless leaders!!!
