On Friday, the 32-year-old retired from the game as he continues his successful recovery from cancer.

The Nigeria Football Federation have offered to have Carl Ikeme in the technical crew of the Super Eagles, following his premature retirement from active football.


Ikeme, on Friday, revealed his decision to hang his gloves as he continues his successful recovery from Leukaemia, which was first diagnosed a year ago.
Prior to the ailment keeping the Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper on the treatment table, he racked up 10 caps for Nigeria - keeping seven clean sheets - having made his international debut in 2015.


His decision to retire has been met with tons of heartwarming tributes, including that of his goalkeeping colleagues.
And the NFF, in a statement signed by its general secretary Mohammed Sanusi, are offering to sponsor the 32-year-old's coaching course before drafting him in Gernot Rohr’s backroom.


“Carl Ikeme was an embodiment of absolute dedication, commitment and patriotic fervour in the games that he played for the Super Eagles,” read the statement.
“The circumstances of his retirement from the game are somewhat depressing, even as we thank God for his life.”


“The Nigeria Football Federation will find the resources to send him on a coaching course, and afterwards absorb him into the technical crew of the Super Eagles. That is the least we can do for such a dedicated patriot.”
The body also noted that they had been in the know on Ikeme’s decision since ‘a few weeks ago’.


“A few weeks ago, he had spoken on phone with the NFF President and 1st Vice President of CAF, Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick, to intimate him on his (Ikeme’s) desire to retire.
“Even though he was sad about it, the NFF President commended his fighting spirit and respected his decision, and also said he would rather allow the player or his club to break the news.”

Good one from NFF

like if u think ikeme is better than karius

The most responsible thing to have come out from our federations and agencies in ages. I wish Super Eagles had dedicated a goal to him. Or even wishing him well during their outings at the World Cup.

Better collect 5 years upfront salary

*Mai shayi has a PVC.
*Mai barrow has a PVC.
*Mai Debino has a PVC.
*Shoe shiner has a PVC.
*Sugar cane seller has a PVC.
*Bus Drivers/Conductors have PVC
*Motor park Agberos have PVC.

You (a student or a graduate with BSc or MSC holder) with all your education and exposure still don't have PVC.
The worst thing is that you even try to justify why you don't have one "my vote won't count".

For the sake of those who paid your school fees & fed you through school, please don't make all your education/exposure useless with statements like that.

If votes don't count, politicians won't bribe/pay people to vote them.

Go and get your PVC!!!

Pls rebroadcast to those who think they are wise to not have PVCs
