Super Eagles player, Emmanuel Emenike took to his instagram page an hour
ago to announce he is quitting the national team. What he wrote after
the cut...
"No more Eagles career! "After 5 great years, I am happy to announce
that I have put full-stop to my Nationa team career for the sake of
national peace. Its a pleasure for me to have played for this great
country. 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!
So forcing players to untimely retirement from the national team is the order of the day now?
