vincent poses with his award |
Former Super Eagles captain and goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama
has been rewarded by the world football governing body FIFA for his exploits in
Ligue 1.
Enyeama, who is Nigeria’s most capped international has also
passed the 100th Ligue 1 appearance for Lille. He took to his Instagram handle
to share the news of the FIFA award to his fans. “This is how goodness and
mercy will follow you all this month of March. First day of the month, FIFA got
me a trophy for hardwork, dedication, success,” he wrote under a photograph of
himself with a plaque. “Thank you @FIFA. I want to wish everyone reading this
message a wonderful month of March. God did it for me. God will do it for us.”
It would be recalled that the
33-year-old retired from the
international football after the shot-he fell out with former coach Sunday
Oliseh in the team’s camp in Belgium. The drama in Belgium allegedly started
after Oliseh told Enyeama to leave the camp for questioning his choice of Ahmed
Musa as captain. Enyeama denied this allegation saying his confrontation with
gaffer Sunday Oliseh arose after his dead mother was insulted.
However, with the
resignation of Sunday Oliseh, the Lille OSC goalkeeper stated categorically
that he will not make a return to the Super Eagles despite Sunday Oliseh’s
resignation. With rumours circulating that Enyeama and fellow retiree Emenike
could be recalled, the no.1 shot-stopper disclosed that he is longer
interested. “I don’t want to talk about this issue again. I think my earlier
decision stands,”
