Former Super Eagles captain, Vincent Enyeama, has explained why he hasn’t watched the Nigeria’s senior men’s team for years now.
The former Lille goalkeeper said in an interview with Hotsports, that he blocked out the news and activities of the Super Eagles following the bad treatment he got from the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), leading to his exit from the team.
He said: “Sincerely, I’ve not been following Nigerian football right from the day I left and with due respect, I was really treated like shh…??? I mean I was treated like a piece of used material, so I decided to put a block between me and the National Team and that went on for long. It’s now that I’m begining to follow the goings-on from a distance.
” But I really put a stop to watching Nigerian football and the National Team because I was deeply hurt. It’s now I’m really becoming gradually at ease. I think I have made personal changes to move on and change chapters and pages to slowly reconcile myself with the system. To state the fact, I can’t really say much about the National Team and the goalkeeping and all of that because I am not watching them”.
Eyeama who was recently received an honorary Doctorate degree from University of Uyo, still has fond memory of his days in the Super Eagles.
“I had so many great moments in my career. The truth is that I can’t really specify or single out any particular one as special. But AFCON 2013 remains one of the best moments because we won that trophy and Enyimba 2003 and 2004 also paints a good memory in my career history because we emerged champions of the continent by winning the CAF Champions League twice. These are very memorable moments among other moments for me”, he revealed.
