Former International , John Fashanu has expressed his regret for not playing football for Nigeria during his professional career.
He lamented how a few people from time to time try to rub his non-appearance for Nigeria to his face in public.
John noted that he came home on three occasions but he was told by the teams technical adviser that he was not comfortable with his British style of playing football which was at variance with the teams style at that time and so he was not used on those occasions.
He insisted that it was the way he was treated that made him keep his distance from the green eagles squad which eventually led him to the English national team where he made two appearances.

Presently, Fashanu is fully back in Nigeria and has founded a world class sporting academy in Abuja, estimated to cost 10 billion Naira which he has since acquired 10 hectares of land for the purpose.
This project would be commissioned in march 2015 by President Goodluck Jonathan and it would be called 'Goodluck/Fashanu International Sports Academy'.
The Tennis department of this academy would be headed by Serena Williams; similarly, Kanu Nwankwo, Jay Jay Okocha and Fashanu would be heading the football department.
