Ex-international Victor Ikpeba says Keshi has put Nigeria in a difficult situation

Nigeria Ex-international Victor Ikpeba has lashed out at coach of the Super Eagles Stephen Okechukwu Keshi over his side's recent poor performance in their quest to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations, Morocco 2014.

The Prince of Monaco told Vanguard that Keshi has been building since inception and yet he's still building in the face of qualifying for a tournament.

‘’For how long will Keshi build the Eagles?’’, he asked and waited for no answer. ‘’He has been building  this team since 2012 and still wants to continue building in 2014. No. What type of builder is he? His success in South Africa where he won the Nations Cup was a collective effort’’, Ikpeba said.

''He has placed us on the hard corner of qualification for the Nations Cup in Morocco. While Nigerians are gritting about their chances, he has invited rookies for the must win matches against Sudan. Keshi needs to ask himself questions. He should be a critic unto himself.

''He is either blaming the players or attacking even ex-internationals who criticize him.

He has invited rookies to the national team. He is busy excluding the best players because of his personal interest. My brother, Keshi has lost it’’
