Shortly after the news broke, ace comedian, Ali Baba has questioned the influx of tribute for the late Super Eagles' coach, Stephen Keshi, as many people did not value him when he was alive and wanted him to be sacked as the coach of the national team.

"MOST OF PEOPLE WHO ASKED FOR STEPHEN KESHI TO BE FIRED AS EAGLES COACH, ARE NOW PAYING GLOWING TRIBUTES TO HIM. HE HAD TO DIE TO BE VALUED!

DIDN'T SAY OR IMPLY THAT. I SAID THEY'RE PRAISING HIM TO HIGH HEAVENS NOW AFTER THEY DISCARDED HIM WHEN HE WAS ALIVE,"he said on Twitter.
