After two years in the international wilderness, Levante forward Obafemi Martins was handed a recall to the Nigeria selection by coach Stephen Keshi in next Wednesday's exhibition match with Venezuela.<br /><br />The 28 - year - old former Inter Milan ace has been in immaculate form in the Spanish championship with four goals in six matches.<br /><br />In an exclusive interview with <b>goal.com</b>, Martins thanked Stephen Keshi for recalling him to the National Team.<br /><br />He told the website: ''I&rsquo;m happy to be back in the Eagles and I appreciate Keshi&nbsp; for giving me this opportunity and I promise I won&rsquo;t let my fans down. I&rsquo;m really thankful, what happened in Rubin Kazan, it&rsquo;s an episode of my life I don&rsquo;t want to go back to anymore.''<br /><br />The 2013 African Cup of Nations draw held last month pitted Nigeria in Group C with defending champions Zambia, Ethiopia and Burkina Faso. Martins could be in Nigeria's squad to the tournament if he impresses coach Keshi in Miami.<br /><br />''I&rsquo;m fully ready and I can&rsquo;t wait to be part of the team. Eagles is my first home. We will shock Zambia, they won the last nations cup, but Nigeria wasn&rsquo;t there. For Ethiopia and Burkina Faso we shouldn&rsquo;t underrate them at all. But I know Eagles will soon rule African football under Keshi,'' said Martins to goal.com.<br /><b><br />Photo Credit: Levante</b><br />
