This is the story 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 Mrs Josephine Moses, were missionaries
until they met their untimely death. The boy left his
house to play football but returned home and
learned painful truth that he would never see his
mother and father again. He was taken to London by his uncle almost
immediately after the incident. 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 he
didn’t take that option. When the call to serve his
fatherland came, Moses dumped England and
embraced Nigeria…That is patriotism! Today, we see a Victor Moses bringing joy to every
Nigerian including those who may have inspired his
parent’s death…That is Love! On Sunday, Moses would stand for the National
Anthem and pledge allegiance to a country that
couldn’t defend his parents…That is faith! Moses would deliver the “African Cup of Nations”
trophy to Nigeria not minding what had happened in
the past… That is forgiveness! Moses rose through bitterness and despair to the
limelight of hope and courage. 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!

I respect you Victor Moses
