Before his arrival in England, he was involved in a match
fixing allegation with Turkish club, Fenerbahce which saw him behind bars for a
few days.
Nigerian striker, Emmanuel Emenike has revealed that he is
no longer interested in playing for the Super Eagles, the senior national team
of Nigeria.
He revealed this in an interview with Sporting life on
Sunday, February 28, 2016, bluntly stating that he has no intention to join the
team now or in the future.
“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,
“Like I said, I didn’t quit because of anybody, it was a
personal decision. Oliseh didn’t force me out of the Super Eagles as it was reported, I don’t
need anybody to speak with me before I take a decision. It was my decision and I won’t reverse it."
The invitation to the team was a gesture by coach Samson
Siasia, who took over upon the resignation of Sunday Oliseh, who explained that
his team and staff were not being given the necessary support to excel in their
outings.
The striker was invited alongside goalkeeper, Vincent
Enyeama, who also had a fall-out under Oliseh.
Emenike is currently on loan with English Premier League
club, West Ham United, a club where fellow countryman, Victor Moses also plies
his trade.
