The West Bromwich Albion striker launched a scathing attack on Nigerian officials, the head coach of the Super Eagles national team Stephen Keshi, former Nigerian superstar and African Footballer of the Year Victor Ikpeba, in addition to others - having taken to the social networking site for the first time upon hearing of his exclusion before Christmas.

Ikpeba stirred the pot by stating that only when Odemwingie has achieved what he has achieved during his footballing career, then would he respond to Odemwingie's tweets.

The irate forward responded to Ikpeba's comments on Twitter: "My reply to you Ikpeba. Prince of Monaco? You're not a prince, but rather a princess. You do not pull. So, let's goodbye."

Odemwingie also alluded to Nigeria's failure to qualify for the AFCON in 2012.

He continued: "Ok Victor e don reach ur turn - talking about professionalism huh - did u have any business in the dressing room during game against guinee?

"You said I can talk face 2 face with u only when I achieve what you achieved ? No be so senior. Treat ur little bros like family not oga."

He continued to slam Ikpeba for having a 'negative influence' on the squad.

"Your handshake could have been back (bad) luck to me cos you have prejudged opinion about me. Coach and his team only in dressing room please.

"If u had coaching talent u would at least be one by now. That means you don't know much about the game. Means don't be a adviser to FF.

"I've gone of track. Back to u bros. I wanted to play this cup for our fans and not you guys. Cos u guys change like chameleons when suits you."

It remains to be seen whether or not the West Brom frontman will face punishment for his comments.
