The NFF has also fixed May 27 for a friendly game between the Super Eagles and Mali and Emenike believes it’s a sign of disrespect to Yobo.

“Yobo deserves the honour and everybody has to turn up to celebrate him, but it’s unfortunate that it’s the NFF who are now looking like the obstacle to this testimonial,” the West Ham striker told .

The 28-year-old believes it won’t be possible for Super Eagles players to partake in the testimonial of their former captain because of the friendly game.

“Yobo was one of the best in Africa during his playing days, he’s a known name all over the world and he should be celebrated in a bigger way. The younger ones are watching, let’s change things,” he further said.

“We should also understand that we don’t respect our past heroes, we don’t appreciate the past, we only want people to come and die and forget about their life.

The likes of David Moyes, Samuel Eto'o, Yaya Toure and Wayne Rooney are all expected to attend the testimonial.
