‘I Quit To Avoid Insults’- Emenike

Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Emenike has revealed that he called off his Super Eagles career after five years to avoid insults.

The Nation Writes.
Emenike, who played under Samson Siasia, Stephen Keshi and now Sunday Oliseh with 36 caps and 10 goals said it was time for him to quit the team and concentrate on his club career.


The former Fernebache striker said much of his decision to quit international football was centered on the news emanating from the internet that he could face sack from the national team coach after failing to deliver in four matches under Oliseh.

However, Emenike had wanted to quit the team before the appointment of Oliseh and he confided in the coach about his intention to quit the team, but Oliseh was able to convince him to stay.


Emenike feels that he does not want to be insulted the way his team mates are being insulted to quit the national team and his decision is perfect at the moment.
“For everybody that thinks I am the problem of Super Eagles, I am using this opportunity to give you a breaking and interesting news that I am no longer a Super Eagles player.

It has always being my pleasure to play and win for the team. I am always proud of my successful years in the team and I am pleased to call it off at this point in order to avoid insults,”said Emenike.
“I have always made it clear that the Super Eagles is not anybody’s family house, its a service camp and nobody is above the team as along as the national anthem is concerned but I am always get pissed off when some decisions are being hypocrised.


“Today, I am bold enough to say it that I am not interested again. I think the coach should have been bold enough to handle the situation in this way.

I won’t wait to be insulted.
“I am grateful to God for giving me the chance to be part of Nigeria’s history when football is concerned.

I am very humbled for the glorious days,”Emenike said
