Nigerian singer Cindya Morgan has criticized Super Eagle captain Ahmad Musa for going against his Muslim faith by celebrating Christmas. Moussa shared Christmas wishes on social ** and attached ** of his wife dressed in Christmas colors**. He also prayed for his fans, but his news caused a variety of reactions. Morgan's comment sparked further discussion on social media.
At the same time, Moussa made headlines for his philanthropic move. He recently gifted his newly built mini-villa complex to four deserving people. Located in the Lugbe area of Abuja, the villa consists of two three-bedroom units, one two-bedroom unit, and one one-bedroom unit. Morgan's criticism of Musa's celebration of Christmas highlights Nigeria's cultural and religious diversity.
Although Apostles celebrate Christmas as the birth of Jesus, Muslims do not usually participate in the celebration of this holiday. Musa openly acknowledged that the festival might be seen by some as a deviation from his faith. The event also revealed the intersection between sport and religion. As the captain of Nigeria's national football team, Super Eagles, Moussa is in the public spotlight and is vulnerable to public criticism. Like many athletes, Moussa is a role model for many, and his actions are under scrutiny. Overall, the controversy surrounding Musa's Christmas message and Morgan's comments reflects the discussion about Nigerian culture and religious practices, and shows how public figures can cope with the challenges of fan expectations while maintaining their personal beliefs.
