In his final days as Super
Eagles coach, Samson Siasia lost his dressing room. The same is now happening to Stephen Keshi.
Emmanuel Emenike took to the media to reveal his disappointment with comments attributed to Keshi about the Fenerbache striker.
Keshi was quoted as saying that Emenike was the problem of the Super Eagles and some players were unhappy with him as his goals have dried up since October 2013.

Emenike has since gone public with his own side of the story, even daring Keshi to drop him to further raise concerns over the man-management skills of the coach.
Siasia had his run-ins with Vincent Enyeama and Osaze Odemwingie, while Keshi clearly failed to manage the situations with Ikechukwu Uche, Osaze and Joseph Yobo.
Coaching has gone beyond picking the team and dishing out instructions to players as a coach who wishes to succeed must also possess good skills to manage the big egos of these players.
It would be recalled that Keshi also had a much-publicised spat with Seyi Adebayor when he was in charge of Togo.
But for the pressure mounted on him, he would not have taken the outspoken Osaze to the World Cup. Osaze’s sin was that he spoke out against how the coach showed him total disregard even when he had decided to drop him from the 2013 Africa Cup on Nations in South Africa.
Osaze eventually made it to the World Cup and was the match winner against Bosnia-Herzegovina. It was a result that propelled Nigeria to only their second qualification to the knockout stage of the World Cup.
Keshi has badly managed the case of Ikechukwu Uche, who the records clearly show is one of the most prolific strikers in a green-white-green shirt and has also proved himself in the Spanish La Liga, where last season he scored 14 goals.
Keshi did not take Uche to Brazil 2014 because Keshi alleged that the Villarreal striker is “tactically indisciplined” when he plays for Nigeria.
And recently, the coach claimed the striker has said he will only play again for Nigeria if only he was begged to do so. It was a claim Uche quickly denied.
Uche may have suffered a slump in form as Nigeria won a third AFCON title last year, but he is a different type of striker to Emenike, who is a power-playing forward who is predictable and so easily marked out, and Uche would have been a worthy option upfront for Nigeria at the World Cup for his intelligence and guile.
Nigerian sports minister Tammy Danagogo and some “very powerful friends” of Keshi are insisting on a new contract for the coach.
But as it now stands, it will be the players, recent results and the newly elected Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) executive committee who will soon decide the fate of ‘Big Boss’.
