Ex-Nigerian footballer converts to Islam
A former Nigerian footballer and also a current
coach, Emeka Ezeugo has converted to Islam.
Talking to newsmen on Monday, the 46 year old
man who used to be a defender and midfielder
said he was inspired by the life of Prophet
Mohammed whom he thinks is the greatest among
all messengers of God and he feels honoured to
be one of his followers.
He said, “I am always a curious person and
studied different religions when I found the life
of Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) very
inspiring”.
He has now taken a new name, Mustafa
Mohammed and plans to apply for a new passport
with his new name once he returns to his home in
Nigeria.
According to him, though all members of his
family are Roman Catholics, they accepted his
decision as he is old enough to decide what he
wants.
Emeka went to a Muslim cleric last week along
with Mohammedan manager Amirul Islam, his
former team-mate Kaiser Hamid, Zaker party
leader Amir Faisal and club official Abu Hasan
Prince to convert to Islam.
