FORMER Nigeria international, Austin Jay Jay Okocha says he
is yet to recover from shock following the death of former colleague, Stephen
Keshi.
Keshi, Nigerian soccer's charismatic and outspoken
"Big Boss" who won African Cup titles as both captain and coach of
his country, died early Wednesday, aged 54.
The former Togo and Mali handler captained Nigeria to the
African Cup title in 1994 and was coach when Nigeria won again in 2013.
Okocha who won the 1994 Nations Cup in Tunisia and also
featured together at the country’s World Cup debut in USA ’94 with Keshi as
captain, took to the social media to express his heat felt message.
“Finally found a little strength to tweet one of the
saddest tweets of my life. RIP "NWENE" Keshi. My heart bleeds
heavily. Hmm..Ya di ma”, he said via his Twitter handle @IAmOkocha.
