Emenalo began his career in his native Nigeria before moving to the United States, where he attended college at and played for Boston University, from 1985 to 1988. He played for Molenbeek in Belgium. In the winter of 1993, Emenalo completed a trial training session at SV Prüm, but a contract was not signed. Eintracht Trier in Germany, and Notts County F.C in England followed, before going back to the US. Emenalo was part of the original allocated players for Major League Soccer and spent two seasons (1996–97) with the San Jose Clash. After that, he played with UE Lleida in Spain and Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel. Emenalo won 14 caps for Nigeria and played in the 1994 FIFA World Cup as the backup to starting left back Ben Iroha. After Iroha picked up an injury in Nigeria's first game against Bulgaria, Emenalo subsequently replaced him at left back for the remainder of Nigeria's run in the tournament against Argentina, Greece, and Italy.
