Nigeria can't have Ameobi

NEWCASTLE boss Alan Pardew will not allow striker Shola Ameobi to play for Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations in January.

"Shola won't be going to that, and the national team manager knows the reasons behind that, which I am going to keep to myself," said Pardew. Ameobi scored the winning goal in Newcastle's 1-0 win over QPR on Saturday. The 31-year-old Ameobi, who once played for the England Under-21 side, had been named in Nigeria's provisional squad for the January tournament in South Africa.
