Yobo, Enyeama, NFF and Caf hail ‘goal king’ Emenike on his birthday

Joseph Yobo, Vincent Enyeama, Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the Confederation of African Football (caf) have hailed Emmanuel Emenike on his birthday.

The energetic striker was born on 10th May 1987 at Otuocha in Delta State and has received warm messages as he clocks 33 years.

Former Super Eagles captain and now assistant coach, Yobo led well-wishers to congratulate the forward, who he described as a ‘goal king.’

Emenike could best be remembered for his exploits at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa where he helped the Super Eagles clinch their third continental title.
