‘He only signed Keshi’s condolence yesterday’… Twitter reactions to Amodu’s death

June 11, 2016 2:04 pm

If the news of the death of Stephen Keshi, former Super Eagles coach, came as a shock, that of Shaibu Amodu, also a former manager of the senior national team, was obviously a bigger shock.

Exactly three days after Keshi passed on, Amodu died in his sleep after complaining of chest pains on Friday night.

Sunday Oliseh, Joseph Yobo, and Festus Keyamo, who said the late coach was set to visit him next week, are among those who have reacted to his death.

Below are some of the reactions:

Fiery, conservative & very knowledgeable about the game. Amodu Shuaibu still had so much in him to give the Nigerian game #RIPAmoduShuaibu.

Amodu Shuaibu is like Guus Hiddink. Always on the standby to help Nigeria & after solving the issues, he gladly leaves but he’s no more now!
