Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa was subjected to negative comments after he joined in the celebration of Christmas.
Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa has attracted negative comments from some members of the Muslim faith after he shared a picture of his Cross River wife, Juliet Ejue, and wished Christians a merry Christmas.
Musa took Juliet, a Christian from Ogoja local government in Cross River, Nigeria, as a second wife in 2017, after reportedly parting ways with his first wife, Jamila. The pair are still waxing strong, and their union has been blessed with children.
What happened
The global Christian population celebrated the birth of their Messiah, Jesus Christ, today, December 25th.
Members of the faith and well-wishers alike have, hence, taken to social media to share season greetings, and the former Leicester City forward was not exempt.

Musa shared a picture of his beautiful wife Juliet, clad in Christmas-themed pyjamas, with the following caption, “Compliments of the season🎄🎄🎄 This festive season, I pray that you experience true joy and peace and may things of celebration never cease from your household. Merry Christmas to you all 👏🎉.”
Musa is a Muslim, a devout one if his social media posts are to go by, and his progressive act of joining in the celebratory rituals of another religion has befuddled some adherents of the Islamic faith, and they ensured to lay their displeasure across via his comment section.
Some of them took to lecturing, informing Musa that his religion forbids him to actively participate in celebrations of other faiths while praying for him to convert his wife to Islam.
