Apam furious with Nations Cup miss

THE Super Eagles' defender, Apam Onyekachi is angry that the national team will not take part in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.The Stade Rennes man's unhappiness stems from his teammates' failure to beat Guinea in October in a 2012 Afcon qualification in Abuja.Nigeria under coach Samson Siasia played a 2-2 draw with Guinea.Apam told SuperSport.com that the blame for Nigeria's failure rests with the players."It's sad because if we can't qualify for the Nations Cup then we are not serious with our careers as footballers. We, the players, should be held responsible for this (Afcon miss)," said Apam.The former Enugu Rangers' man also lifted the lid on the behaviour of some footballers in Nigeria's national team."The truth is when you see the manner of some of our players (outside of the pitch) you will realise why we didn't qualify for the Nations Cup," the defender revealed to SuperSport.com. Apam, 24, has been out of competitive football for a while following an injury.But he returned to the Rennes side in a recent French Ligue 1 game and expressed happiness with the development."I'm happy that I'm back playing football again. For any player that's the most important thing. With time I will get back to my best," he said.The former OGC Nice defender has made seven appearances for the Nigerian seniors.
