Amkar Perm striker Bright Dike has admitted that it was a difficult choice he had to make when he was approached by the Nigeria Football Federation to represent the Super Eagles, having spent most of his life in the United States.<br /><br />Born in Edmond, Oklahoma 29 years ago to Nigerian parents, Dike was eligible to represent the United States until he turned his back on the Yankees.<br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s like choosing between mom and dad. Personally, I have been guided to those who will approach me first and this was made by Nigeria,&rdquo; Bright Dike told Amkar Perm&rsquo;s official website.<br /><br />&ldquo;I have played 3 matches basically because of injuries, but those three games were very important - friendly against Venezuela, also played against the national team of Catalonia, half of whom were players of Barcelona, such as Xavi, Pique, Puyol and played against Italy. <br /><br />&ldquo;Moreover, against Catalonia and Italy, I scored a goal.&rdquo;<br /><br />A product of Portland Timbers, Bright Dike signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Amkar Perm in February following his release by MLS side Toronto. <br /><b><br />Igho Kingsley</b><br />
