Stephen Keshi, who spoke in low tone, described his late wife as “a unique wife,” and “a wife that every man would love to have.” He thanked his friends, colleagues in the soccer business and all Nigerians who stood by his family both physically and in prayers during their trying period.

“I am honoured that they took out time despite their busy schedule to come and give their last respect to my wife. Most of them have been with my wife, they knew her and probably that’s why they are here. I thank them and every other person, the press, and all Nigerians who were in prayers with my family. I am grateful,” ‎he said.
