Super Eagles coach Sunday Ogochukwu Oliseh has expressed shock over Emmanuel Emenike’s abrupt resignation from the Super Eagles.
Emenike, 28, who plays for Al Ain of Dubai towed the line of goalkeeper.
Vincent Enyeama by calling time on his career through instagram, a development that shocked Eagles coach Oliseh and President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Melvin Amaju Pinnick.

Nigeria striker Emmanuel Emenike on October 20, 2015 announced his retirement from international football, after a barren spell in front of goal.
‘’It’s a big surprise and shock to all of us to hear of his resignation’’, Oliseh who is tinkering the home Eagles for the return leg match of the CHAN qualifier against Burkina Faso in Ouagadougou next week said. Oliseh had guided the Eagles to whip the Etalons of Burkina Faso 2-0 in the first leg played at Port Harcourt.

Insinuations that Oliseh might drop the player from the Eagles squad for next month’s World Cup qualifier against Swaziland because he has not scored for the Eagles for two years was dismissed by the coach.

‘’Eh, Come on! You know me better than that. There is no water to that story and it did not emanate from me. I’ve not spoken to anybody(Journalist) concerning the team. I was surprised when I read the story attributed to me. Immediately, I called him but he did not pick his call and the Team’s scribe Dayo Enebi Acho also called him without success.

I’m shocked and surprised. We had no issues and he had played four times since I took over the team. He’s a great player’’, Oliseh noted.

He was not the only person shocked to hear about Emenike’s resignation on instagram. NFF President Amaju said that he was ‘’utterly flabbergasted by the resignation of Emenike. ‘’We(NFF) have not been contacted officially but I’m shocked because Emenike has been a major factor of success for the team. Players have the right to quit but I think that they should do it in a civil manner.

Asked if it was not one resignation too many since Oliseh took over the team, Amaju exonerated the coach. ‘’Oliseh did not speak to anybody concerning dropping any player. He understands the dynamics of coaching. This is one of the reasons why we have to implement the code of conduct. Things should be done the right way. But, we have absolute confidence in Oliseh. He is in charge and determines players to be invited’’, Amaju emphasised.

very bad,may be oliseh should go back to supersport desk.

Emenike is a coward. He has no strong mentality to prove his doubters wrong. At Fenerbache, he couldn't stand the fans booing so he left coupled with the fact that Van Persie will sign for the club, he left for Al-Ain were he could have a smooth ride. Absolute nonsense.

Oliseh is biased, following up on what he said was the criteria for selection, he shouldn't have been invited. He had fired blanks for the Super Eagles for 2 years now. If Oliseh can be realistic, players like Martins, Ogbeche and Ujah should take his place..

What we need is a playmaker in the mould of Kanu. In 2013, Victor Moses partially played that role.
If Keshi saw no need of inviting Emenike, why should Oliseh??..

I would rather field Salami for Emenike.

Let Naija in form striker, Odion Ighalo lead the attack..

Let him go, we all taught he will become another Yekiniw. But he has ended up as a failed experiment.

Let him go, we should not celebrate mediocre with their mediocrity.

Thanks and God bless Nigeria.
