DETAILS OF NATIONAL TEAM PEACE MEETING IN BRUSSELS SATURDAY 10TH OCTOBER, 2015.
IN ATTENDANCE: Vincent Enyaema, Amaju Pinnick, Seyi Akinwunmi,Shehu Dikko
Vincent Enyeama returned to Belgium (Brussels) early (Saturday) and met with NFF leadership to discuss all issues. He was remorseful and stated really what irked him was the removal as captain without first having a private conversation with the coach which is what he expected.
His attention was drawn to the fact that when he was appointed captain neither the coach or NFF had any private conversation with him thus this shouldn't be an issue as a professional. Serious advice were offered to guide him going forward and the decision of the coach including how the coach intervened on behalf of Enyeama to get the NFF to drop the disciplinary hearing after the Kaduna issues were all explained to him.

Enyeama too offered his own side. He has realized his mistakes and he has spoke to coach Oliseh (via phone as the team was in a different hotel). They both laughed over the issues. Enyeama indeed expressed his firm commitment for the good of Nigeria and has confirmed that his interest is to support/motivate the young ones in the team and thus he has been speaking to AHMED Musa to advise/guide him in his new role as captain to ensure the team does well.
After all seemed settled and everyone was laughing, they had lunch and Enyeama returned to France (note it's about 3-4 hours drive or less, from France to Belgium depending on the city) and promised to make a decision soon whether to call off his retirement or not.

The NFF big wigs also spoke to his wife via Skype and thanked her for being by her husband.They also invited her and Enyeama back to Belgium today to watch the Cameroon game at NFF cost, all as part of the process to smoothen issues.

In conclusion, the door to the national team is still open to Enyeama but strictly under the coach terms, and with Ahmed Musa remaining captain.
WHAT WOULD YOU ADVICE ENYAEMA?
Thanks to my friend /colleague/In-law and brother George Iniabasi Essien
