Jefersoun: No na. I dnt think so. Musa, though has not been at his best of late, has been a strong member of this team. Remember his brace against Argentina and his power strike against SA in the last friendly game we played against them. I have suggested that he b converted to a supporting striker. Besides, Ahmed Musa has passed his peak. He peaked around 2014-2015 but meanwhile he is just 24. Aha! who was i pointing out to the other day that most West African strikers peak between 21 and 25? |

safarigirl: this is the exact same thing destroying all the sectors of the Nigerian economy. you see a doctor with a surgery success rate of well below 60% but because he carried out a successful heart surgery almost 20 years ago he will still be the leader of the team. makes absolutely zero sense 1 Like |

Those Senegalese sef..... their wahala is too much... is it because of the misinformation that they haven't beaten us in 40yrs?? But they beat us as recently as 2002 naa.... with their golden generation. Today... they meant to harm our boys and I hope Onazi and Musa are back in no time... but ahead of Cameroon... both won't be missed shaa... but bottom line... we need every soldier and our best even from the bench. tbaba1234: 1 Like |

Nigeria vs Senegal: Ahmed Musa steps down as assistant captain of Super Eagles Leicester City winger, Ahmed Musa, has stepped down as assistant captain of the Super Eagles team. Musa informed coach Gernot Rohr of his decision, just before the kick off of their friendly match against Senegal, at The Hive Stadium in London. This development was confirmed by BBC reporter, Oluwashina Okeleji via his Twitter account. He wrote: “Breaking: Leicester City winger Ahmed Musa has stepped down as assistant captain of #Nigeria ahead of tonight’s friendly against #Senegal.” Musa was appointed as assistant captain to John Obi Mikel exactly one year ago. The 24-year-old who had replaced Vincent Enyeama as skipper until then, handed over to Mikel Obi. “I want to announce now that from today, John Obi Mikel is our new captain,” Musa said at the Eagles’ press conference, ahead of Friday’s AFCON 2017 qualifier against Egypt in March 2016. He started the friendly against Senegal alongside Kelechi Iheanacho and Simon Moses in attack. http://dailypost.ng/2017/03/23/nigeria-vs-senegal-ahmed-musa-steps-assistant-captain-super-eagles/ |

Mickael2:honestly, it is a moot point Who Musa 2 goals help for the WC? No be only Musa the thing help? Did it take us anywhere we haven't already been to? We are talking of qualifying for WC and possibly reaching the last 4 and you want us to be managing an impotent striker because he scored a brace in ONE game 3 years ago. How? 1 Like |

BascoVanVeli: One thing I don't do is argue blindly. And I also hate reasoning parochially. Did I contradict ur fact? Ain't we saying same thing? Yea he scored two against the Argies and I give him credit for that. But I still maintain by stance, maybe u c it as a damning verdict. Prior to those two goals against the Argies, Musa had not done anything as spectacular and he hasn't been able to achieve same fit ever again. Maybe u didn't understand the world HIGHLIGHT. quote me outta context again or maybe get my message misconstrued just to undermine the claims, and I no go reply u again sir. |

A very young Nigerian team held its own against a strong Senegalese team. That is certainly a positive. There is a lot of good to look forward to. Remember, Mikel and Victor Moses were missing. 3 Likes |

Yeah... it is difficult.... but honestly... even Samuel Kalu is balling better on the wings than Simon Moses at Kaa Gent... simon is relevant to this rising golden generation but Samuel Kalu and ofcos Henry Onyekuru seems better and more effective... only difference is we have seen Simon in the Eagles and he had made some impact sometimes... vs Swaziland and against camaroun in a friendly... we are yet to see Henry and Kalu in the green and white... but I have no doubts they will do well... especially Henry.
