I'm playing week in, week out for my club for several months now and I know that based on current form I merit a return to the national team.''It will be noted that Samson Siasia shut out Kaita during his short-lived stint as Nigeria coach, insisting that Nigerian fans are yet to fully forgive the former Kano Pillars star for his dismissal against Greece in a must-win World Cup game.
