According to Vincent, since his retirment from international football, he hasn’t been following the affairs of the national team with keen interest.
The former Olympique Lille goalkeeper, confessed putting up a block between him and the Super Eagles.
“I’ve not been following Nigerian football since the day I left the national team; with due respect, I was treated like a piece of used material. So I put up a block between me and the national team,” he said as quoted by Vanguard Nigeria.
“It’s now that I’m beginning to follow what is going on, but I put a stop to watching the national team because I was deeply hurt.”

Speaking further, Enyeama declined commenting on the recent crisis rocking the Super Eagles goalkeeping department. Per his statement, he won’t make such statement as he doesn’t follow up the team’s activities more often.
“I’ve moved and changed chapters. I can’t say much about the national team or the goalkeeping position because I’m not watching them.”
The former CAF Champions League winner, confirmed winning the AFCON in 2013 and winning consecutive CAF Champions League titles with Enyimba were some memorable moments of his lucrative career.
“I can’t pick a memorable moment, but winning the AFCON in 2013 remains one of the best moments, as did winning on the continent with Enyimba in 2003 and 2004. I had other memorable moments in my career,” he said.
