It just seems this ongoing Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) battle between the Super Eagles players and Coach just goes on and on, with the NFF seriously wielding the Axe and trying to show they really mean buisness. Well Nigeria's  long serving captain Vincent Enyeama may have played his last game for the country that is according to the recommendations of the NFF Disciplinary Committee.
Top officials of the NFF have informed AfricanFootball.com that the Eagles long serving captain may lose his captaincy following his utterances on the safety of Kaduna State before the recent Nigeria vs Chad Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in the northern Nigeria city.
"The federation is not happy with the Eagles captain. And I am sorry to say if the leadership decided to follow the recommendations of the disciplinary committee to the letter, then maybe Vincent Enyeama may have played his last game for the Super Eagles,” said one official.
"Even if he is recalled to the national team, he may no longer wear the captain’s armband because the NFF view his actions before and after the game against Chad as bad example for other players, also he didn't show up for the disciplinary committee hearing."

The official also stated: "You see what has happened to Keshi, it’s the disciplinary committee's recommendations so if Enyeama escaped their recommendations, then it must be a divine intervention."
Enyeama was first capped for Nigeria in 2001 and he is now the most capped Nigerian star ever with 101 appearances. With the sacking of Super Eagles Head Coach Stephen Keshi i don't really know if this is a good move by the NFF although understanding discipline has to be instilled, but Enyeama is still the best we haveas a goalkeeper anywhere and has been a great servant for the Country. He somewhat deserves a little pardon considering we are in the thick of things now concerning the qualifiers and any blip would see Nigeria loose out of another Cup of Nations ticket. Meanwhile according to a close source to the player he might already be considering ditching the Super Eagles after all for the first time and it seems the NFF disciplinary committee would present just the right avenue for him to do so.
