The 24-year-old midfielder was excited after helping
his club to easily defeat Northern Irish team, Crusaders, 7 - 2 on Thursday,
with Chibuike on target in the 35th and 51st minutes of the encounter.
“For now, I am focusing on my club. I believe that
should be my focus because that is where my life’s all about for now - taking
my club to Europa League is on my mind, maybe I will be considered for good if
I play in the UEFA games, but I know my time is coming to play for Nigeria,”
said Chibuike.
“I am still very much hopeful of playing for
Nigeria but I think I just have to let it be in God’s time. I don’t want to
rush myself. It will come when God has ordained it and it will be at my best
time. So I’m still looking forward to play for Nigeria.”
It could be recalled that Stephen Keshi had
promised to give the talented midfielder to prove himself in his team, Keshi’s
comment came after it was reported that the former Enugu Rangers ace could dump
Nigeria for Sweden.
Chibuike has scored four goals in his last three
games, three goals in Europa League play-off so far, as Rosenborg qualified for
the second round of the Europa League.
“I played some good games in last season’s Europa,
I scored and got injured at some points but I want to do it bigger this time
around with a good fitness rate and high-grade performance. I don’t want to
leave anything behind to prove myself to the club and achieve something better
this season. We are on course for the league but we need to work harder and
give it all in every game.”
