Vincent Enyeama has given
a hint as to what happened, when he arrived the Super Eagles camp in Belgium on
Tuesday.

Super Eagles goalkeeper,
Vincent Enyeama has expressed his displeasure over his row with the coach of
the team, Sunday Oliseh. The player spoke with Colin Udoh of ESPN FC
“I
was surprised,” Enyeama, who has 101 Nigeria caps to his name, told ESPN FC.
“So I stood up to explain my position and ask for an explanation, but the coach
asked me to sit down. I
insisted on speaking because I felt that with the years of dedicated service I
have given to the country I deserve at least the respect of giving my own side.
But he told me that either the whole team would leave the room for me, or I
would have to leave the room for the whole team.”
Vanguard report continues:
“There
has been a lot of incidents these last few months,” he said. “I don’t need it,
the team does not need it, so maybe the best thing might be to step aside in
the interest of the country so that the team can focus on football instead of
distractions.”
Enyeama
arrived at the Nigeria camp on Tuesday, one day after Monday’s deadline, after
attending his mother’s funeral over the weekend in his home town.
According to reports,
Oliseh was unhappy about his captain’s late arrival and demoted him at a team
meeting after dinner, naming CSKA Moscow forward Ahmed Musa as the new captain.
I Will Not Take Insults To My Dead
Mother – Enyeama Finally Speaks
Daily Post reports that the
national team goalkeeper and captain, arrived after Monday’s deadline, after he
was permitted to report late, following the burial ceremony of his late mother
in Akwa Ibom.
Upon
his arrival, the Lille stopper tried to explain why he showed up late, Oliseh
ordered him to leave the hotel and went ahead to call on security officials to
bundle him out.
The
NFF intervened in the situation and Enyeama ended up staying with the team.
He
has now taken to Instagram, to post that “After 13years of national
service,having this smiles on my face and this passion in my heart, through the
billows,the waves of the ocean,the tears of defeat,the sound of rejoicing from
victory chants.now the thought of being stripped naked and security agents
throwing me out breaks me completely.I will take anything but not insult to my
dead mother.”
It is still not certain
that the 101-cap goalkeeper, will choose to continue with the squad, after such
humiliation in the hands of Oliseh.
