After a falling out with super eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, Nigeria’s goalie Vincent Enyeama announced his retirement from international football. The falling out came as a result of Enyema showing up late for camp after burying his mother last week.

Nigerians, who absolutely love the 13 year goalie veteran have reacted to the news of the retirement. While many have well wishes to him, others have turned their frustration towards the coach as they see him as the reason why Enyeama quit.

Vincent Enyeama will always have my respect. I don't know what went down in camp so can't pass judgment but he'll always have my respect.

Is the Captainship of the Super Eagles the birthright of Vincent Enyeama? Why can't he emulate the gentle gait of Mikel Obi?

Before Enyeama became a National hero, Oliseh shone bright and captained a greater Super Eagles team than Enyeamas'. He deserves his respect

For the records, there is no competition between Oliseh and Enyeama. They are both accomplished but they are not mates.

1. If you've ever wondered why Nigerians aren't a very patriotic people, look no further than this Oliseh v Enyeama issue. Its disgusting

If Enyeama felt strongly about his captaincy, he should have approached Oliseh privately to discuss it, not challenge the coach openly.

This is an epic reorganization of the Super Eagles. All thanks to the amazing Sunday Oliseh who says a retiring player can't be team captain

Enyeama is great player

Oliseh has missed the mark.

Stripping one of his rank can also be handled in a matured manner such that it doesn't hurt the reputation and dignity of the person affected.

We should learn to respect each other.

I respect Vincent decision but i don't know what went well between them..
