Stephen Keshi’s personal life and family
Stephen Keshi graduated from Saint Finbarr’s College located in Akoka. At the age of 23, he met his beautiful wife, Kate. Stephen was a firm person who did not express his emotions too much. While his wife, Kate, had an opposite attitude. To everyone, it seemed like they were complementing each other’s tempers. This long-standing union had been unbreakable for 30 years until Kate passed away in 2015. Less than one year later, Stephen died.
However, their legacy lives on today. Stephen and Kate brought three beautiful children to this world. They are Femi, Jennifer and Stephanie. Stephen and Kate were good parents that offered their care and love to their children in any way possible. It was no surprise that Keshi wanted his children to become strong and keen on sports.
