It was in the year 2001 in Kaduna, Nigeria. 11-year-old Victor had gone with his friends to play football in the central street of the town. When he got back, he found his house razed by rioters who had killed his parents.


His parents were missionaries who had come to Kaduna from Lagos. He felt the world was coming to an end. Nevertheless, his uncle took him to England, where he enrolled in a school. While in school, he harnessed his skill as a footballer and was signed up by Crystal Palace until 2007 when Wigan Athletic signed him.



He had played for all junior levels in the English team and had hoped to break into the first team when Nigeria came calling. He was worth.



He would never serve a nation who murdered his parents and did nothing about it. But as a Christian, he forgave and made his debut for Nigeria on October 13, 2012, at the U.J Esuene Stadium, Calabar, Cross River State.



Every time the national anthem is being played, he pledges his allegiance to a country that had terminated Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Moses’ lives. Yet Victor Moses forgave. At just 26, he has 29 appearances and has scored 11 goals for Nigeria. He’s now doing great as a footballer with Chelsea FC

That's a very dumb response, my dear. Do you understand what it means to lose loved ones to gruesome killing?

He has a good heart, many would never step foot in Nigeria again

he stood a better chance played four Nigeria than England, so he choose Nigeria. it had nothing to do with forgiveness or religion.

The question should be... why do northerners always kill southerners with impunity and we all express outrage for 5 minutes and then shout one Nigeria after?
From SS to SE to SW and even NC we have lost heavily for being in one country with hausa/ fulani... yet we all shout one Nigeria.
We are all cowards... all of us. And our lands are all under occupation by hausa fulani

What is dis one saying?

Nigeria doesn't deserve forgiveness. It has wasted and drowned talents enough.
