Super Eagles Striker Emmanuel Emenike Vows To End 1,147 - Minute Goal Drought Vs Tanzania

2013 African Cup of Nations top scorer Emmanuel Emenike has not hit target for the Super Eagles since his brace against Ethiopia in October 2013 in a World Cup qualifying tie held in Addis Ababa.

Since his last goal in the 90th minute against the Walya Antelopes, the Fenerbahce loanee has put on the green - white - green jersey for 1,147 minutes, a run of 15 games, without finding the back of the net.

The 28 - year - old striker is hoping to end his dry spell in front of goal this Saturday in the Afcon qualifier against Tanzania.

“I look forward to scoring against Tanzania. I am very determined to score again for Nigeria. I’m not happy for the long drought, ” Emenike told thenff.com.

“The match in Tanzania is a must-win for us. I am very happy with our Coach (Sunday Oliseh) and the assistants, and the approach to training sessions. Their approach brings out the best from the players. ”

Emmanuel Emenike has racked up 35 appearances for the Super Eagles since he made his debut against Sierra Leone in a friendly.
