It's a shame, when at the age of 27 a person considers his responsibility of playing for a nation to be a burden, the reason he cited, he wants to focus on his club career, what about the country that gave him everything & made him to what he is now? He certainly has enough to offer his country & play one till next world cup, it's not that his country has depth in comparison to that of a Brazil, Germany or Spain. His exlcusion would certainly affect them in a great manner, as he was there one of the most experienced, versatile players available. It's a shame, at the age of 27 you cannot act like a 35 year old. Shame.

First of all, NFF doesn't encourage Nigerian players which also affect their preparation and performances in tournaments. Another thing is, Moses really needs to focus on his club carrier. If you're not the best player in the team at least you should be available when needed.

who will not retire from Nigeria football when two elephants are fighting for position. I have retired also last week from being a fan of NFF without too much noise.
