The Nigeria striker who is currently suffering from hamstring injury that has sidelined him for more than four weeks now, told MTNFootball.com his is disgusted not to have received even a phone call from Keshi or any official from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) since he rejoined his Russian club Spartak Moscow.
‘I must be honest with you; I have not been treated well by the coach and the NFF because they ignored me so soon, so fast.’ He lamented.
‘Nobody from NFF and the coach have called to ask about my injury. I am bitter about this. It is unfair and I can tell you tell you that is why some players don’t come to give their best for the national team.’
‘When a player gets injured on national duty, I think the country’s football authority and coach ought to keep in touch to let him know he is loved and cared for.
‘I am not a use-and-dump player. I will not act as one at all because my club career is very much important to me than anything.’
He added, “ look at a player like (Victor) Anichebe (Everton striker was injured while on national team duty last year), no one cared about him and you think he will come to national team to give his best.

‘I am not worried about that but I just need to tell them it’s unfair, it is not everything that is money, but a call just to show care could change someone’s problem at a particular time.’
Emenike told MTNFootball.com that this is in sharp contrast to his Russian club Spartak Moscow, who has done everything to get him back playing again.
‘I can’t wait to return to my best form, I feel like playing and banging in the goals for my club right now.’
‘Am happy with my rehabilitation and I will start joggling soon and I believe I will respond well because I have missed the game so much.’
If this is really happening at this time many sport lovers in Nigeria are celebrating the victory of the Africa champion, Super eagle of Nigeria and willing to see more of their best. However, this will go a long way affecting the development of sport in the country.
It is high time we valued life than money/properties.
