\n\t“This action is courageous and bold. It is also in line with our cultural values,” Runsewe said in a statement yesterday.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tRunsewe has been in the forefront of condemnation of wearing of earrings and dreadlocks by national team players. For the past two years, he has embarked on a public campaign against, arguing that it does not conform to African culture.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t“I have always said it that it is not cultural for men to be wearing women\u2019s apparel in Africa. It is a bad habit that people should not copy, especially by footballers who are heroes-worshipped by our teaming youths. They should show example,” said the NTDC DG.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tRunsewe said by taken this action, Keshi has started his assignment as national team coach on a good note.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t“Keshi is imposing discipline which is very important if he must achieve the objective of returning the Super Eagles to the enviable height the national team attained in the 1990s, which Keshi himself was part of as captain of the Super Eagles,” he said.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
