Former Super Eagles striker, Emmanuel Emenike, has taken to social media, sharing a video of him on admission in a hospital.
In the video posted on his verified Instagram page in the early hours of Wednesday, the father of two, who is married to a former beauty queen, Iheoma Nnadi, complained about “too much” pain.
In the short, muted clip, the hunky striker laid on a hospital bed, receiving treatment.
Emenike, however, didn’t state the nature of his illness, but according to him, he could no longer bear the burden.
“God is good, the pain is too much for me, and my heart cannot carry it anymore,” he captioned the video.
Hours later, Emenike took down the post from his page.
Before it was deleted, friends and celebrities left comments wishing him speedy recovery.
The striker made his international debut in a friendly against Sierra Leone in Lagos in February 2011. He got his first goal for Nigeria in a 4-1 mauling of a second-string Argentina side in Abuja later that year.
He was the top scorer at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in South Africa, helping Nigeria lift its much-awaited third continental trophy.
He made 37 appearances for the Super Eagles and scored nine goals before retiring from the national team in 2015.
