The striker who recently announced his retiring from the national
team via instagram over the weekend said it was not an easy
decision. Speaking with BBC Sports.
The 28-year-old, who plays for Al Ain of Dubai, has not scored for the Super Eagles since October 2013.
He said
“It was not an easy decision. I didn’t think my international career
would come to a sudden end, but that is life,” Emenike told BBC Sport.
“Sometimes it’s better to remove yourself from an environment
that doesn’t suit you mentally and physically, 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.”
Emenike is the second player to announce his retirement from
Nigeria’s senior squad this month, following Lille goalkeeper Vincent
Enyeama – Nigeria’s most-capped player – who quit after a much
publicised row with coach Sunday Oliseh.
