No Super Eagles return for Emenike and Enyeama.

To think that we had our hopes raised
few days ago when news emanated online that the caretaker coach, Samson Siasia is going to talk to them. The duo of Emmanuel Emenike and Vincent Enyeama who hung their boots for the National team few months ago have ruled out  comeback to the club.

When contacted on the subject, Emenike who is on loan in England made it clear he’s focused on his career.

“I’m done with the Super Eagles, and I am making it clear again that I am not going back. It’s my decision and I am not going to reverse it. I am sorry if I have offended anybody regarding this but no Eagles return for me. I don’t have grudges with anybody but I want to focus on my career and play better for my team. Right now, I’m happy because I am playing my game and everything is working perfect. I can always wish Super Eagles well because I have been a fan for a long time,” he concluded.

As far as Lille goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama is concerned, the topic is closed for discussion.

“I don’t want to talk about this issue again. I think my earlier discussion stands. “ He said.

My time in prison was a nightmare – Emmanuel Emenike

He was locked behind bars despite producing a doctor’s report to back up his claims and acquitted of the charges in 2013.
Speaking to the SUN, the 28 year-old described the experience as a nightmare.
“My time in prison was a crazy nightmare that I couldn’t wake up from. I’ve never committed a crime in my life but I was treated like a criminal, living on bread and water. It was not a good experience. It gave me a different perspective on life.” he said.

Emenike’s retirement: No one is irreplaceable – Sunday Oliseh

Embedded image permalink
Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, has described the
retirement of Emmanuel Emenike from the national team as a big shocker to him
as well as the squad. Speaking recently to Brilla FM, the ex Nigeria international
said he is yet to come to terms with the decision of the Al Ain forward whom he
has included in the rebuilding plan. He added that all efforts to hear from the
horse’s mouth has proved abortive.
“It was a big shocker for us and a big shocker for me
personally… personally, I still don’t accept that he has retired because
officially I have not heard anything from him and I don’t think the Federation
have also heard from him; only what we know is what was posted on social
media,” “I have made him (Emenike) part of our rebuilding process; in fact, he
has had more playing time than any striker we have had, so I am very very
surprised that he has decided to retire,”
 “He has not
reached me but I have called him twice, because immediately I heard this, first
I thought it was all these lies on social media so I called him twice yesterday
(Tuesday), I am expecting a return call from him, it is when I hear from him
that I would fully accept that he is retiring.”

“He is a man. If a man chooses to retire, it should be his decision; if you
force him back it could be counterproductive…If truly he retires, then it is a
shame because we have him pretty much in our rebuilding plan. Be that as it
may, I have always said only one thing is irreplaceable and that is Nigeria
itself; we are all replaceable and that is it.” He affirmed.

Quitting Eagles wasn't an easy decision – Emenike

Embedded image permalink
Al Ain forward, Emmanuel Emenike has described his decision to retire from the
national team as a difficult one. Emenike who played peace-maker role between
the Oliseh and Keshi row called it quits with the Super Eagles via his
instagram page few days ago. Speaking with BBC Sports, the 28 year-old just like
Enyeama claimed that he withdrew from the squad to allow peace
to reign.
“It was not an
easy decision. I didn’t think my international career would come to a sudden
end, but that is life. Sometimes it’s better to remove yourself from an
environment that doesn’t suit you mentally and physically and this is what I
have done. I also felt it was important that people hear directly from me to
avoid a funny twist to the story. I wish to thank the coaches who gave me a
chance, fellow players and in particular big thanks to all my fans for their
unconditional support.”
The question that begs for answers is, What exactly is going on in the Super Eagles camp?

I never regretted it and I think its the best time to end it. Millions thanks to all the fans who have been very supportive during the good and bad times.” “I am very proud of my performance, I am proud of my team mates and I am very proud of the nation called ‘Nigeria’. My AFCON gold medal is a sign of great achievement, My AFCON topscorer award speaks a lot about my commitment and dedication to the team. 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 dissapointing 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. Up Eagles, God Bless Nigeria!

"I am still a Christian, a strong catholic" – Emmanuel Emenike denies converting to Islam.

Super Eagles striker, Emmanuel Emenike has rebuffed claims that he has converted to Islam.
The news of his conversion broke out on Saturday after his coach reportedly questioned his absence from breakfast to which he replied “I am fasting”.
Emenike said “The report that I am now a Muslim is absolute rubbish and false. I want the source of the news to re-address it. I have no reason to convert to Islam even though I have lots of Muslim friends. Is there any big deal observing fasting during the (muslim) fasting period?”
“I am Catholic, a strong one for that matter and I came from Christian home. I don’t discriminate against anybody and I believe we are all equal in the presence of God, so what is the big deal in fasting?”

"My late father convinced me to join Eagles. I will miss him." Emenike

Eagles striker Emmanuel Emenike has revealed that his late father, Felix Ndukwu Emenike, convinced him to join the Super Eagles. The Fenerbahce forward who buries his patriarch today at Imo State recalled fond memories of him.

“I will miss my father for his advice. He was the one who compelled me to play for Nigeria as he warned me not to honour invitation to play for any country no matter what. He told me I will be great, and after the AFCON 2013, he asked‎ me if I regretted playing for Nigeria, I just smiled and said ‘no’.”

He continued: “He always showed me the right way, and I have never regretted any of his advice. This is a man who has seen a brighter future for me and he always told me, my life begins after football. My elder brothers and the people in the community convinced him to let me choose football. He blessed my first trip to South Africa, and today I am living in his blessings. But I am sad he’s
gone!”
