Victor Moses Is A True Nigerian? Pathetic Story About Him. by pendusky(m): 7:12am On Feb 08, 2013 |
The story is told of a young boy whose parents were murdered during 2002 riots in Kaduna. He was aged 11 years at the time. His parents, Mr Austine and MrsJosephine Moses, were missionaries until they met their untimely death. The boy left his house to play football, but returned home to see that all his parents had laboured for had been razed down, and he would never see his mother and father again. He was taken to London by his uncle almost immediately after the incident, and while in London, he began deploying his football skills. Though his parents were murdered, his passion for football was never killed. He played football for his school and later for a local Tandrige League club until Crystal Palace FC approached him. From that point, his career progressed in leaps and bounds! This player played for England's under 16, 17, 19 and 21 teams between 2005 and 2010, scoring 11 goals for England during this period. He later moved to Wigan Athletic and now he plays for Chelsea. This footballer is called VICTOR MOSES! He had a choice not to step into Nigeria again, but didn't take that option. When the call to serve his fatherland came, Moses dumped England and embraced Nigeria. That is patriotism! Today, Victor Moses brings joy to every Nigerian, including those who may have inspired his parent's death... That is Love! Moses would later stand for the Nigerian National Anthem and pledge allegiance to a country that couldn't defend his parents. That is faith! He never gave up on his country. He persevered...That is purpose! If someone like Victor Moses, despite the bitter past, never gave up on Nigeria, then why should we?... The question is would you have come and play for Nigeria if you were in Moses' Shoe? 1 Like
