The winger began his career in the NPFL before moving to Europe. He briefly returned to the league ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations and has again returned.

He made his debut last week against Sunshine Stars and marked it with a brace. He could have netted a hat trick but missed a decisive penalty in the final minutes.

Musa celebrates birthday in Uyo

The Nigerian football legend had his birthday at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, where he was on league duties with his new club, Kano Pillars.

His team lost 2-0 to Akwa United, but it did not stop workers at the stadium from celebrating him. They sang happy birthday songs and even poured water on the winger.

As noted by Kano Pillars’ official X account, who uploaded a video of the fans serenading Musa, confirmed that he gifted the workers ₦200,000 to workers.

Musa was not lost in celebration and spared a thought for his Super Eagles teammates who were held hostage in Libya. He released a statement on social media condemning the act.

“I'm extremely disappointed by the unjust treatment of the Super Eagles, the NFF officials, as well as dignitaries in Libya. This is not sportsmanship, and I want the football governing body, @CAF_Online to intervene and investigate this incident. I stand with the players in this difficult time. ❤️👏🫂,” he wrote.
