What could possibly be going on in the camp of Super Eagles? Barely two weeks after Vincent Enyeama retired from the national team, another member of the team has also towed the same line.
Enyeama’s retirement came after his much-publicised rift with the team’s coach, Sunday Oliseh. Emmanuel Emenike, a striker, took to his social media platform to declare his decision not to play for Nigeria again.
According to Emenike, “No more Eagles career! After 5 great years, I am happy to announce that I have put full-stop to my National team career for the sake of national peace.”

Recalling his days with the Eagles, the player stated that his “AFCON gold medal is a sign of great achievement, My AFCON top scorer award speaks a lot about my commitment and dedication to the team,” pointing out that “Super Eagles is a camp not a family house, and it shouldn’t be a threat zone for any individual.”
“I have done according to our National anthem. All my dreams came true in the national team, I dreamt to win Nations Cup for Nigeria after 20-years, I dreamt to played at the World Cup as well as to make a name for myself. In the space of five years, I got them.
“I’m a winner! For every disappointing fans, maybe due to my inability to re-establish my goal scoring instinct for Super Eagles, I will like to say I’m sorry but the ones I had scored counted well for the team. As long as Nigeria remains, you and I will always remember the name ‘Emenike’. Finally, I am happy to make a bow and continue supporting the team everytime,” he added.
