Keshi Assures Victory, seeks better Pitch

Head Coach of the Super Eagles, Stephen Keshi, has shown confident that his team would win Saturday’s 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier in Kaduna

Keshi made is assurance while addressing journalist in Kaduna on Wednesday; said he was satisfied with the calibre of players he has in camp and who would feature in the match against Chad.

The Nigeria/Chad match opening match in the qualifiers, is scheduled for the Ahmadu Bello Stadium (ABS) at 3:08 pm Nigeria Time


In his statement,``I look up to the players, come Saturday, for a better performance and I am hopeful it will help take us far as we look ahead of 2017 AFCON.

``I am already working on them for us to play the match and record success, so that we can proceed to the next stage.
``But I believe we will do better and there will be no changes in the team on Saturday from the one in the Tuesday friendly.
``Except there are players with injuries and who are not fit enough, then there may be changes,’’ Keshi said.
He further said he was also motivated to do well by the players.
``I hope to work on my weaknesses and move forward with the team, because Nigerians deserve victory.’’

While acknowledging the efforts of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in motivating the team to win their matches, Keshi however decried the state of the training pitch in Kaduna.
``The pitch is manageable but if it can be much better than this it will be easier to play and get the desired result.’’
He urged Nigerians to support the Super Eagles in their bid to qualify for the 2017 AFCON finals.
The coach also urged the players to work hard and maintain their fitness and performance levels so as to win the upcoming matches with good goals.
``The technical crew is equally working hard to ensure there is stability in the team, as this will enhance players' performance,’’ he said.

Four magic steps to creating workable social media strategies

If you care to know, people are not interested in you or what you have to say or sell. They are only interested in what will benefit them. People will prefer to talk about their tooth ache with you, than talk to you about an earth quake in Japan that kills 300 people. Here, we will look at four social media strategies that work like magic
Be genuinely interested in others: Being self-centered is human. It is part of everyone’s default configuration. But how can you shift people’s focus from their own self interest to what you really want them to hear?
Show interest in people. Give people your hand and they will gladly give you their heart. The most important on Facebook is not the number of friends and fans you have. The most important thing is the degree of interaction and influence. Listen to others. Talk to friends on Facebook. Show concern.
Be Trustworthy. I recently did a survey of 1000 girls. I asked them what they value most in a relationship and about 72% of the respondents say that the most important thing to them in a relationship is trust. The reason you have to build trust with fans and friends is because people associate with people they like and trust.
Experts say you can build trust on social by communicating in a consistent, personal brand voice, making time for humor and entertainment, posting unique, original ideas, responding to as many comments and questions as you can, being transparent, holding yourself accountable, not advertising and committing to a greater good.
Become an Expert. If you want to influence people on social media there is one shortcut – become a renowned expert. Fans and friends have no problems trusting a well established brand like say MTN or an entertainment brand like Don Jazzy. That is why they get retweets easily on Twitter. They have loyal fans and friends.
If you are not a well established brand, then you have to start from the bottom up. To become a brand you can start with associating with brands. Try to build a relationship with experts in your field, and then invest in their platform. Attend their trainings, do something for them for free, retweet their tweets, and celebrate them.
Then the next thing you can do is to find a way to align your brand with their brand. If a brand is retweeting your tweets, their fans will notice and some of them will follow you. Measure your Outcome: Most times, to get a Return On Investment (ROI) on social media, you need a clear cut overall goal. You need a social media strategy. Most posts on social media that go viral were planned in advance.
Once your strategies are articulated, you have to implement them one at a time and monitor their efficacy. What is planned and monitored is usually achieved.
