Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa confounds onlookers by leading the national team in Christian praise songs.
In a heartwarming display of unity and camaraderie, Captain Ahmed Musa of the Nigerian Super Eagles led his teammates in a praise and worship session.
This remarkable moment occurred as the Super Eagles made their way to the stadium for their AFCON opener against Equatorial Guinea.
Musa Leads praise and worship
Despite being a Muslim, Ahmed Musa enthusiastically led the Christian songs on the team bus, demonstrating an inspiring example of religious tolerance and harmony.
Musa's leadership in the praise and worship session was not just a mere act of participation; it was a significant moment of team bonding that appeared to positively impact the team's morale. The Super Eagles went on to draw the game against Equatorial Guinea.
Musa, who is notably an Alhaji - a title given to Muslim men who have completed the pilgrimage to Mecca - displayed a side of him that transcends religious boundaries, showing his commitment to team unity and mutual respect.
Beyond his contributions on the field, Ahmed Musa is known for his generosity, particularly towards the Muslim community in Nigeria. In the spirit of the 2021 Ramadan, he planned to distribute rice in Jos and Kano states to support the Muslim faithful during the fasting period. This act of kindness is a testament to his character and dedication to giving back to the community.
