Emmanuel Emenike walked out on a match in Turkey over the weekend after
racist chants by his own club (Fenerbache) fans were directed at him.
Emenike was obviously hurt during Sunday, March 22 match against
Besiktas after his home fans began to taunt him.
He removed his shirt and ran towards the bench in
either anger or sadness. His coaches however pleaded with him to return
back to the pitch which he did. Emenike has been lazy in front of goal
this season, netting just four times in 22 appearances, He was booed by
his club fan before coach Ismail Kartal finally decided to withdraw him.
After the match, a furious Eminike insinuated that he was tired of life
in the Thurkish club and wants to go somewhere else where he will be
loved. It would be recalled that Emmanuel Emenike recently underwent a
Turkish spiritual cleansing ritual to lift a curse that he believes has
been placed on him that caused his goal drought. Emenike was reported to
have complained that his energy is out of sync after being cursed in
Nigeria and that it has had a detrimental effect on his performances on
the field. “My energy is not right, something is wrong, I just need a
goal to get back to form but people from my village in Nigeria are
fighting me with juju ” Emenike was quoted as saying by Milliyet. The
27-year-old striker underwent a ritual called ‘Kur_un Dökme’ which is
carried out when it is believed that an evil eye is upon you. The evil
eye is the name for a curse or sickness transmitted by someone who is
envious, jealous or wishes harm on someone. The evil eye belief is that a
person can harm you and your property by a malevolent glare, usually
given to a person when they are unaware.
