Former Super Eagles number one goalkeeper and captain Vincent Enyeama has revealed that he lost his desire to follow the national team after being forced to retire from the team in 2015.

Enyeama, who started his career with Ibom Stars for over 20 years, is regarded as one of the best goalkeepers to come out of Africa.

He made his debut for the Super Eagles at the 2002 World Cup in Japan and captained the team on several occasions. He won the African Cup of Nations in 2013 after winning bronze medals in the 2004, 2006 and 2010 competitions.

As the Super Eagles continue to face goalkeeping issues following his departure, many fans have suggested he be appointed as goalkeeping coach so he can coach a shot-stopper of his same caliber. However, on Sunday, when Enyema hinted that he was no longer in contact with the Super Eagles after an altercation with the coach, Oliseh let him quit the team with 101 caps.

“I have to be honest with you, I have not followed Nigerian football since the day I left Nigeria. With all due respect, I was treated really badly…” Executive Producer of Hot Sports said Ufuoma Osusu in an interview.

“That is, I was treated like worn-out material. So I decided to put a block between me and the national team, which lasted for a long time. I’m starting to follow what’s going on.

“But I was hurt so deeply that I really stopped watching Nigerian football and the national team. It’s really starting to get easier little by little now. I’ve made some personal changes to move on, and I’ve made some personal changes to my chapter and I think I’ve been slowly reconciling myself with the system by changing pages.

“To tell you the truth, I can’t say much about the national team, goalkeepers and everything else because I haven’t watched them.”

He added that he is happy with his achievements in the sport.

“I feel a sense of accomplishment. I spent a lot of time, I achieved glory, I achieved all the laurels, I achieved everything I got, and it made me feel great.

“There were a lot of great moments in my career. The truth is, I can’t name or single out any particular one as special. But AFCON 2013 still stands out because we won that trophy. One of the best moments and Enyimba in 2003 and 2004 also have fond memories in the history of my career as we won the CAF Champions League twice and became continental champions. This is one of the most memorable moments for me.”
