Mbachu Uchenna Emenike also known as Epeleje (born 21 May 1989 in Lagos) is a Nigerian-born footballer who plays as a winger. He represents RoPS.

In the middle of the season in 2011 he came from Nigeria to join PS Kemi in Finnish 2nd league Ykkönen. He changed clubs after the first season as PS Kemi was relegated and continued to play in Ykkönen another year. During his first season he only played 9 matches because of his late arrival, but he still managed to score 6 goals with his thunderous left foot.

At RoPS Epeleje and his fellow Nigerians, central defenders Nduka Alison and Faith Friday Obilor made an impact that took RoPS all the way to Veikkausliiga. Epeleje scored also six goals in his second season, but assisted massive 16 goals for RoPS strikers Aleksandr Kokko and Mika Lahtinen.
