"I never said I will never play for the Super Eagles again. I

only said I will consult with my family which is a normal

thing to do. I am still very much a national team player,"

Enyeama said.

The Nigeria number one goalkeeper was honored with an

award for excellence from Guvaps Management, organizers

of the annual Ibom Football Awards in Uyo, Akwa Ibom.

the honour and promised to work harder in future.

"I am really pleased with this award. I want to thank the

Guvaps management for this. I have won many accolades

in my career but to be honoured by my people in Akwa

Ibom State is special. Charity begins at home so this means

a lot to me. I will continue working harder to achieve even

more," he said.

Enyeama made his debut for the Super Eagles in 2002 and

has won 94 caps for the national team.

Meanwhile, although Nigeria was knocked out of the FIFA

World Cup in Brazil at the round of sixteen, Eagles number

one Enyeama, received a lot of praise from foreign press

and media for his amazing perfomance in the Eagles goal.
