World football governing body, FIFA on November 1, 2011, cleared
Ameobi alongside Victor Moses to play for Nigeria after both players
chose their country of birth over England that they have represented at
various age-group levels.
Moses has since made his debut for the Eagles in a 2013 Africa Cup of
Nations qualifier against Rwanda but Ameobi has yet to decide on his
debut for the Eagles.
“Shola is always welcome to the national team when he is ready to
play. It’s Nigeria's national team and he is a Nigerian so our doors are
open to him whenever he is ready," Keshi said.
The Eagles coach noted that he would not send invitation to the
experienced Newcastle striker until the player has confirmed his
readiness to play.
"As I said earlier, as soon as he confirms his readiness to play, we
would extend him an invitation, but until then I will not send him
invitation," he said.
