He had revealed his reason for steeping away from the national team.
In an Instagram Live chat with Brila FM, he said he hasn't been handed call up yet due to the influence of super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr.
“In Europe, if your coach doesn’t play you, you have a right to ask why you’re not getting game time so that you’ll know where to improve in your game. The coach will even be happy. I did that when we got to Abuja. Wrapped my hands around the coach and asked him why I wasn’t playing.”
“You know what he said to me? I should go and play in England because most players he played play in England. That he doesn’t like the level of the Israeli league insisting that I should move to a better league if I want to play. I was shocked because I have played in Betis and even in the Champions League in the past.” Igiebor told Brila.
“The following week they took a picture from a newspaper in Nigeria and sent to me, you know what Rohr said about me is that I will not call these players again because they are only coming here for the bonus.”
“First on the list is Nosa Igiebor, my name was number one. So I was interviewed on this same station (Brila FM) and I said if that is what he thinks of me, I don’t want to play under him as a coach”
