AFTER ENYEAMA'S SHOCKING RETIREMENT FEW
DAYS
AGO, EMMANUEL EMENIKE ANNOUNCED HIS
RETIREMENT FROM THE NATIONAL TEAM TOO
.
Super Eagles striker, Emmanuel Emenike, has
announced
that he is retiring form the national team
after five
years.
.
He wrote on Instagram on Monday night,
“No more
Eagles career! After five great years, I am
happy to
announce that I have put full-stop to my
national team
career for the sake of national peace.”
“It’s a pleasure for me to have played for
this great
country. I never regretted it and I think it’s
the best
time to end it. Million thanks to all the fans
who have
been very supportive during the good and
bad times.
.
“I am very proud of my performance, I am
proud of my
team mates and I am very proud of the
nation called
‘Nigeria’. My AFCON gold medal is a sign of
great
achievement, My AFCON topscorer award
speaks a lot
about my commitment and dedication to
the team. Super
Eagles is a camp not a family house, and it
shouldn’t be
a threat zone for any individual.
.
“I have done according to our national
anthem. “All my
dreams came true in the national team, I
dreamt to win
Nations Cup for Nigeria after 20-years, I
dreamt to
play at the World Cup as well as to make a
name for
myself… In the space of five years, I got
them. I’m a
winner!
.
“For every disappointing fans, maybe due
to my inability
to re-establish my goal scoring instinct for
Super
Eagles, I will like to say I’m sorry but the
ones I had
scored counted well for the team.
.
”As long as Nigeria remains, you and I will
always
remember the name ‘Emenike’. “Finally, I am
happy to
make a bow and continue supporting the
team every
time.”
.
Emenike played 35 times for the Super
Eagles and
scored 16 goals.
