Vincent Enyeama May Not Play For Super Eagles Again! Just See What NFF President Said This Evening

         It looks like he won't play again!...The president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, has said a testimonial will be organised for Lille goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, saying he deserves “an honourable exit” from the Super Eagles.
Enyeama returned to Belgium on Saturday to meet with Pinnick, NFF 1st Vice President, Seyi Akinwunmi and 2nd Vice President, Shehu Dikko, africanFootball.com reports.

Pinnick told Enyeama in clear terms that the country is bigger than any individual, and that even if he was determined to quit international football, he should not do so in a situation of acrimony.
“I told him that he did so well for Nigeria over the past 13-and-half years that he had been there, and by all means, is deserving of a honourable exit,” Pinnick told africanFootball.com.
“Whatever the situation, whether he decides to return to the team or not, the NFF will organise a worthy testimonial match in his honour because he served the nation so well.
“However, the head coach is in full charge of the team and the camp at all times, and that fact must be respected. The NFF will support and respect the decision of the head coach of any of the national teams at all times.
“Both Oliseh and Enyeama are true heroes of Nigeria football, if you look at what they achieved at different times. But Oliseh is head coach now and in charge of the team. We will continue to respect his contract, our role as a federation is advisory.”
Pinnick further hinted that a code of conduct for players and officials of the various national teams will soon come into force.
