Stephen Keshi has so far been a fine coach for the Nigerian national football team and he has a legacy to protect. In the past he has called for African countries to employ African coaches rather than relying on foreign coaches. This is a sentiment that can be maintained without being racist. By adding racism to his nativist perspective he seems to be demonstrating the reverse side of all nativism - that they may be motivated by hatred for the other rather than a desire for internal excellence. FlourishingAfrica has in the past denounced racism against Africans around the world. Racism from Africans is also not to be tolerated. Stephen Keshi should be teaching kids how to play football rather than how to be racists.
