Oboabona shows gratitude to Keshi

Defender Godfrey Oboabona has hailed Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi following the completion of his move to Turkish club Rizespor.

The Nigeria international, who has joined from Sunshine Stars for 650,000 euros (US$870,000), revealed that Keshi has made him a better player, and so did his former Nigerian Premier League club.

I must thank my club and also the big boss (Keshi) for the opportunity to fulfil my football dream, said the centre-back, he told BBC Sport.

He is a great motivator, a father figure who appreciates and encourages you to be a better player.

After winning the Africa Cup of Nations in January and playing an integral role as Nigeria secured a place in next year's African Nations Championship in South Africa, Oboabona is eager for fresh success.
