When they fail to appear for training,other Nigerians don't want to know why but we jump into conclusion by saying they don't have respect for their country. Here is one the best players said:
AFCON star Emmanuel Emenike has lashed out at Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi for using and dumping him after his long-term hamstring injury.

He was therefore left out of next weekend’s World Cup qualifier at home against Kenya.

any official from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) since he rejoined his Russian club
Spartak Moscow.
“I must be honest with you, I have not been treated well by the coach and the NFF because they ignored me so soon, so fast,” he lamented. “Nobody from NFF and the coach have called
