Peter Odemwinge Finally might be back in nigeria squad...

Peter Osaze Odemwingie could well be in line for a Super Eagles call up, after admitting he has mended bridges with Coach Stephen Keshi’s following series of talks.
The Stoke City forward last took part in an international match in February 2012 in an African Cup of Nations (Afcon 2013) qualifier between Nigeria and Rwanda.
“I have been speaking with the coach, it’s the only right thing to do,” the Stoke striker told BBC Sport.
“I had to be humble and make a step forward towards my senior colleagues.”
Peter Odemwingie Says He has Settled Misunderstandings With Coach Stephen Keshi.

He took to social network media Twitter to vent his frustration following his omission from Nigeria’s Afcon 2013-winning squad.
At that time he claimed he was dropped because of his outspoken nature and also accused the coach of disrespecting him for not informing him personally of the decision- which Keshi responded to by saying it wasn’t personal.
The 32-year-old says he has let bygones be and is willing to fly the Green and White colours again.
“You can’t continue to stay in that angry state of mind. Staying in that state, it’s not the right thing to do. It’s never helpful for anyone,” Odemwingie added.
“It was very disappointing at the time, it was hard to accept it. I had a strong feeling that it was Nigeria’s time to win it. I was as frustrated as any other player.”
Odemwingie has scored nine goals in 55 appearances and was part of the team that claimed silver medal at the Beijing Olympic in 2008.
