With an intriguing life story of how a simple boy from Nigeria became one of the best known Nigerian footballers, Ahmed Musa has a lot to be thankful for and us to admire his rise to fame. But where did it all start and what was his life story like?
Ahmed Musa story began on 14th October 1992 in the city of Jos, Plateau State in Nigeria, when he was born to Alhaji Musa and Sarah Moses.
He had a relatively good life, up until an untimely death of his father, while Musa was still a young boy. That meant that he and his 4 sisters were left with only their mother who raised them by herself.
Nonetheless, their mother did everything she could to provide their children with everything they desired. She also played a big part in Ahmed Musa’s dream of becoming a professional footballer with her support.
Even as a young boy Ahmed Musa spent a lot of his time playing football, the game he loved and enjoyed, and even as a kid his dream was to one day be a professional football player.

His performance in 2009/10 season was the one which earned him a spot in Nigeria’s 2010 WAFU Nations Cup squad, where Musa played a crucial part for his team winning the cup.
After another impressive performance, Musa was called into the senior squad, however, an injury stopped him from playing in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
In only a few years Musa made a name for himself in Nigeria, but now he felt like it was time to offer his skills to the world.
