Onigbinde said that it would be unethical for him to give unsolicited advice to Keshi. The former head coach, who is a renowned CAF and FIFA instructor, also urged the NFA to focus attention on the development of grassroots football and think less.
``I don’t know what Keshi has in hisabout competitions. Programme, so it will be unethical and unprofessional for me to begin to tell him what to do.
``Apart from that, am not his technical assistant; I am not his technical adviser; and no authority has assigned me with that responsibility; and I don’t want to become an irresponsible elder.
``Keshi knows my number; if he needs any advice, he knows he is free to call me anytime. But we have always been getting our football administration wrong because the emphasis has always been on competition.
``If we have had effective developmental programme, qualifying for any competition or even winning the cup at any competition would have become virtually a matter of course.
``An undergraduate who concentrates on sitting an exam without reading, without studying for the exam is deceiving himself and that is what we are doing with our football and sports in general.’’
