Read Obafemi Martins' Touching Reaction To His Recall To The Super Eagles

Obafemi Martins expressed shock at his recall to the Super Eagles. Martins was included in the 23 player list called by Sunday Oliseh for World Cup qualifier against Swaziland.

Obagoal, as he is fondly called by fans while speaking to BBC sports said, he was a bit shocked, but it's a nice shock.

According to him, he was very happy because had always worked hard, supported and respected all the players picked by the coaches. 

He was last called up by Nigeria in March 2013 for a 2014 World Cup qualifier against Kenya. He was, however, omitted from the Brazil 2014 squad, despite being the country’s most in-form striker last year, alongside Ikechukwu Uche. 

Martins thanked coach Oliseh for the opportunity adding that he is looking forward to playing for Nigeria again.
