WE ARE READY TO WORK WITH YOU -NFF TOLD, ENYEAMA ,MIKEL


 

The Nigeria Football Federation says it is ready to work with Vincent Enyeama and John Mikel Obi after weeks of the two former Super Eagles captains expressing interest to be close to the team.

Enyeama and Mikel were members of the 2013 Nigeria AFCON winning team. Although they never got an official send-off from the NFF when they quit the team in 2015 and 2019 respectively, both players had contrasting exits from the national team.

While Mikel played at the 2019 AFCON before calling time on his international career, Enyeama left the Super Eagles under controversial circumstances in 2015, after falling out with then-coach Sunday Oliseh.

Enyeama was stripped of the team's captaincy before he was thrown out of the team camp by security guards in Belgium, during a FIFA International break while the team was preparing for a friendly match.

He was accused of disrespecting the coach and subsequently didn't show up for the AFCON qualifier against Tanzania.

Having gone into forced international football retirement before finally retiring from football, the ex-goalkeeper revealed he stayed away from the Super Eagles activities for several years until now because he felt 'used' and hurt by the incident.

He got Nigerians puzzled when he dropped a comment under the Super Eagles' official Instagram handle as they prepared for AFCON camping saying, "Let's goooo. See you in camp. It's time for business."

Mikel Obi, on the other hand, continues to express interest in working with the national team in his recent interviews.

Reacting to these in an exclusive interview with Nigeria Info, the General Secretary of the NFF, Dr. Sanusi Muhammed said the federation has “never closed the door on any ex-international.”

"Well, I don't know but for issues like this, it's better you ask the director of technical. The only thing I can tell you is that you've seen it,” he said.

“We have never closed the door on any ex-international. You have been seeing Joseph Yobo, Amokachi; so many of them.

“This is a football federation, that is interested in bringing people who have value to add so that collectively we can do it. We have always been saying we can't do it alone.

“We need collaboration and cooperation of everybody and whoever has something to add to what we are doing is welcome."

Responding to Enyeama's claim of feeling 'used' by the NFF, Dr. Sanusi said he would rather have a face-to-face talk with him rather than a media buzz.

GENDER IS A BIG FACTOR,IN THE UPCOMING US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

    The unexpected gender dynamic shaping the 2024 election Analysis by. El-zion Global Network News. All signs suggest that the partisan divide over changing gender roles in society could widen even further in the 2024 election, adding a new source of uncertainty to a contest already on a knife’s edge. Donald Trump's recent declaration to female voters that  "I will be your protector ' offered the latest demonstration of the former president’s determination to consolidate the voters most committed to traditional gender roles and family structures – a culturally conservative group that includes not only many men but also a large number of women. In the process, though, political strategists in both parties believe the GOP nominee risks further alienating the broad array of voters who are comfortable with the social changes that have challenged those traditional patterns of family life, especially women. Younger, college-educated and single women are likely to be particula...
