Emmanuel Emenike has vowed that Nigeria will shine at next year’s World Cup after they exited in the first round of the Confederations Cup.

The absence of the 2013 AFCON hotshot from the FIFA Confederations Cup has been a major talking point due to the poor finishing that led to the team’s ouster.

Spartak Moscow striker,   who is back and fully fit from a knee injury, said he hopes to return with a good performance for his club and also lead Nigeria back to Brazil for the 2014 World Cup.

“We will return to Brazil next year for the World Cup,” Emenike told MTNFootball.com

“My heart was with the team in Brazil, but I could not help them because I was out injured.

“This is not the time to blame anybody or the team for the ouster. Our elimination from the Confederations Cup will only make the team come back stronger for the World Cup.”

The big striker added: “We don’t need to blame the team or crucify any player, I believe this will be a blessing in disguise for us when we return to take the world by storm.
