Abiodun Obafemi, a member of the `96 Olympic gold medal winning team, told News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Tuesday that Obi could be left of the team.
Obafemi said that the player's recent failure to impress during an English Premier League between Liverpool/Chelsea was enough to prove he could be replaced.
``If they make him too important, this thing will enter his head. We have stars; give them equal chance too, or sometimes even leave him, for the next ten matches, don't call him.
``It just an advice because we need committed players; people that will fight, you understand, but we respect that gesture. ''
Wale Akinyelu, ex-international, told NAN that Keshi needed talk to Obi and give him a-father-son advice, and let him know that the money he was currently making should not distract him.
``The money he is making, he never expected it; maybe it is the money that is pushing him, but he needs a good adviser, for him not regret.
``If you can see now, Kaita is struggling to be back, because if you don't work hard, you will be forgotten. ''
They warned Keshi not to accord preferential treatment to any player but rather give other potential talents equal opportunity to prove themselves.
