In an unexpected turn of event, the Nigeria football team captain, Ahmed Musa, has faced strong criticism after extending warm wishes to Christians on the 25th of December 2023, Christmas Day. Musa, known for his prowess on the football pitch both nationally and internationally, took to his social media page to partake in the merriment of the Christmas season with his fans. The Nigerian football legend penned a heartfelt complementary writeup: “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 👏🎉.” The caption was accompanied by a picture of his Christian wife, Juliet Ejue, seated beneath a beautifully adorned Christmas tree.

The picture, especially, was the source of the controversy and backlash that was thrown at him by his Muslim and non-muslim fans. According to the critics, Musa is a Muslim and his religion forbids him from actively participating in the celebrations of other faiths. Other adherents of the Muslim faith stated that he (Musa) should be more concerned about converting his Christian wife rather than being involved in her religion's rituals. While many, including Nigerian female artist, Cynthia Morgan, tagged Ahmed Musa as not a true Muslim, other individuals believe that Islam is a religion of peace, so, it's a little bit permissible for Musa to celebrate with his non-Muslim wife. Ahmed Musa married Juliet Ejue in 2017 after divorcing his first wife, Jamila and the union has been blessed with children and hasn't had any scandal since they got together.

What state in Nigeria is he residing? I believe there are 12 states when you go north of Abuja that are under Sharia law.

To be fair, Christmas as most people celebrate it has nothing to do with Christianity either. It's a corporate holiday used for marketing. That's why a lot of Christians celebrate the birth of Christ instead of do the whole Santa Claus thing. So Christians Muslims and Jewish people can all technically celebrate it at the same time as their normal religious holidays. Iirc Jesus wasn't even born on December 25th according to scripture examination but it wasn't mentioned specifically when he was born.
