Enyeama and Emenike to don Nigeria's colours again for Joseph Yobo's testimonial

FORMER Super Eagles skipper Vincent Enyeama and striker Emmanuel Emenike of West Ham are set to don the colours of Nigeria again on May 27 when they feature in former captain Joseph Yobo's testimonial game in Uyo.

 

Both Enyeama who plays for Lille in France and Emenike who currently plies his trade with West Ham in the English Premiership, retired from international football last year. However, they have both agreed to honour their former team mate and feature during the Joseph Yobo Testimonial match billed to take place on May 27 at the Uyo stadium.

 

Event coordinator, Waidi Akanni said: “We have a confirmation to that effect and there are many other goodies lined up for fans because Yobo is so passionate about this project. Another player who retired from Eagles last year, Emmanuel Emenike, has also confirmed to hit Uyo for the Yobo Testimonial match.

 

Top players who have confirmed their participation in the game include Samuel Eto’o,  Didier Drogba, John Terry, Thierry Henry and Wayne Rooney, the Ayew Brothers, Sulley Muntari, Djibrin Cisse and Tresor Lualua amongst others. Yobo featured at three World Cups and six African Cup of Nations tournaments, leading Nigeria to victory in his last outing in South Africa.
