Stephen Keshi was most 'Googled' Nigerian sports personality of 2014

Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi has been the spirit child of Nigerian football in the past two years. Will he go, will he stay on the job?
These were the questions that dominated many minds and therefore their online searches in 2014 as Keshi led the most searched Nigerian sports personality section of the Google Year-In-Search.

According to the search engine giant, the “Year-In-Search” lists are an annual look at the billions of searches performed throughout the year. Year-In-Search uses data from multiple sources while filtering out spam and repeat queries, to build more than 1,000 fascinating top-ten lists across pop culture, sports, music, politics, news, and more.

JP Clark described the abiku child in his poem of the same title as one who gets born into a household, dies and is born another time; dies again and is reborn, in a manner that continues to torture the birth mother and entire family.

ever has the coach of the national team divided so much opinion as the Super Eagles handler has done in the past two years.
Even his former boss Shaibu Amodu has asked him to quit and stop beggaring for the job following recent failings.
"Stephen Keshi alone will decide if he has a reputation or he does not have a reputation. If he has a reputation he will walk out of the job, if he does not have, he should stay like a beggar,” Amodu said.
Since he first resigned following his historic capture of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations title in South Africa, Keshi has become a thorny issue, a captivating character, a rebellious man manager.
At once he is the best thing to have happened to Nigerian football since Clemens Westerhof, at other times he becomes the most vilified man on the continent.
2014 was the year Keshi was supposed to become a coaching icon. He took the Super Eagles Team B – domestic league-based – to third place at the African Nations Championship for the first time (CHAN was most trending event of 2014).
