After the burial of Stephen Keshi, the Super Eagles late boss' son took to social media
to express dismay over the way Nigerian government treated his
father.
He wrote on his Instagram page that the late captain's family were neglected despite the government
promising to assist them. Read what he wrote below:
'I sat
in front of the federal government on national television a few weeks
ago and they promised they would honor pops the way he deserves.
They
said that he has done to much for the country for them not to. They made
us change dates to fit the federal governments schedule. But they
didn't do as promised, we aren't mad, nor sad, just disappointed, they
should be ashamed of themselves. This sends a terrible message to our
youth that are striving to do great things for Nigeria. The good thing
is that We was raised not to ask for handouts. There will be no more
postponements, today the funeral ceremonies began in Benin, the place he
loved, where his career started. My sisters, brother and I held it
down, with the help of a few others, and now we are putting our pops to
rest. We don't owe anyone poo and we can say they owe pops everything.
No salt, it is not the people's fault, we still love Nigeria as pops
did'.
'Finally pops has been laid to rest. The people of
Africa has gained an angel. His loyalty and service has not gone
unnoticed, the people of Africa thank you for your support, your prayers
were felt. 7/29/2016'.
I think we should learn to appreciate/honour our legends.It will make people more patriotic
