I have finished my course, I have kept faith and sang the anthem with passion. Henceforth, there is laid for me a crown which only GOD can reward me for my 13 years of national services. God bless NIGERIA. From HENCEFORTH, I am no more the captain of the NIGERIAN senior football team, I am no more the goalie of the team, I am out of the team. I am no more available for international duties. I want to say thank you to every Nigerian fan and supporter world wide. It’s been the most trying period of my life but I know that Nigerian are there for me and God iswith me. God bless Nigeria #ENDOFANERA.”He is the most capped player ever for the national team, with 101 caps for the Super Eagles.
