Stephen Keshi Junior (middle) during his father's burial
As the late Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi is laid to eternal rest today
in his hometown in Benin, the Edo state capital, the son of former
legendary footballer and manager, Stephen Keshi Junior, took to his
Instagram few hours to express his disappointment at the Federal
government's unfulfilled promises to honour his father at his funeral
which kicked off yesterday, July 28th.
Below is what he wrote;
"I sat in front of the federal government on national
television a few weeks ago and they promised they would honour pops the
way he deserves. They said that he has done too 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 were 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
shit and we can say they owe pops everything. No salt, it is not the
people's fault, we still love Nigeria as pops did," he said.
