Vincent Enyeama is delighted at the plans of the Nigeria
Football Federation to honour him on the occasion of his hundredth senior cap
for Nigeria.
The Lille shot stopper will notch his century when Nigeria
takes on Bolivia in an international friendly at the Akwa Ibom Stadium on
Thursday, March 26.
“Nothing matches being recognized by your own country. I am
very excited at the prospect of reaching 100 caps, and more so at the decision
by the NFF to honour me on the day.
“The NFF media department has also been speaking with me and
I have followed the publicity they have generated about it. It is a delight. I
am also excited by the fact that it will happen in Uyo, my hometown. What a
great honour!”
Of his 99 caps so far, the three –time FIFA World Cup star
picks the Nigeria/Argentina FIFA World Cup match at the Ellis Park Stadium,
Johannesburg on June 12, 2010, as his best so far.
“Yeah, I can tell you that is one match I will always
remember. I was highly inspired, and although we lost, I was selected the Man
of the Match. We lost 0-1 but Lionel Messi did not score. That was some sort of
joy for me.”
