I'm Criticised Because I'm Not Yoruba, Hausa Or Igbo - Vincent Enyeama by MahatmaGhandi: 11:36am On Mar 31, 2013

Vincent Enyeama believes the criticism he has received in his international career have been largely fuelled by tribal sentiments not because of his performance in-between the sticks.

The former Enyimba keeper came under the spotlight severally in 2012 after making a series of costly errors in high profile matches for the national team and he believes his critics have been vocal because he is not from one of the three major tribes in Nigeria.

The 30-year old Super Eagles safe hands is from Akwa Ibom state, South-South Nigeria.

“My critics will remain as long I am still with the national team. I am criticised because I am not Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo but I am not worried,” Enyeama said in a recent interview.

Makes absolutely no sense. Even if you are a member of Nelson Mandela's nuclear family you will be criticized if you play nonsense. No player regardless of race, colour, height or tribe is immune. Stop yarning nopata abeg.

Enyeama should shattap! I love him , and he is Nigeria's best goalkeeper ever, but this indeed was an 1diotic statement.

I believe that statement, considering the tribal bashing on this forum. He's from a minority. SEE MARGINALIZATION.

I dont think Enyeama made such statement.I hardly see him being criticized in any quarters.He is very disciplined,gentle man,very loyal,confident,always have faith and determined and above all,well respected Super eagles player.I think people are trying to drag his name to the mud.Abeg Enyeama,dont feel distracted,we love you.You are ever my number One!!!.

Even if you happened to be a member of my family, I would criticize you if you do not do well at a particular time. And also I would surely commend you when you are inform. This type of criticism has nothing to do with tribal sentiment. Enyeama should be more exposed than this type of comment from him.

Dear Vincent, Most people did not know your tribe until today, which proves that you are talking rubbish. Please, commit these facts to heart. You will need them as you grow up. People will criticise you-

1. If you r an i.d.i.o.t
2. If u act like one

or

3. If they are the i.d.i.o.t.s themselves.

Summary: YOu are bound to be criticised one way or another.
