NIGERIAN SPORTS AWARD: STEPHEN KESHI, MANU GARBA IN SERIOUS WAR! Why Mikel, Mba & Moses May Not Greet Themselves On The Day

The second edition of the coveted Nigerian Sports Award (NSA), an award given by Nigerians to recognize and celebrate outstanding performances is set to hold. The award ceremony which is being promoted by Unmissable Incentives Limited in partnership with Master Sports International and Sports Radio 88.9 (Brila FM) has reached the voting phase with the emergence of the top three nominees for the different categories. But the major focus among others is the category of Nigerian Coach of the year that will be taken between the Chief Coach of Super Eagles,Stephen Okechuckwu Keshi and Golden Eaglets' boss, Manu Garba.

But looking at the history, who do you think deserves this honour? The National team led by Keshi won the Africa Cup of Nations early this year by beating Burkina Faso 1-0 on Sunday February 10,2013, while Garba's team,Golden Eaglets also did the same not as African Champions alone but in the world for that matter, at the just concluded FIFA U-17 World Cup. Indeed, this is a serious battle.

Another set of people to face themselves at the award ceremony is the trio of John Obi Mikel, Victor Moses & Sunday Mba who were top three nominees for Footballer of the year (Male). Bellow is the full list of the nominees including states governors.
