Editorial
Ahmed Musa’s recall to the Super Eagles for the Unity Cup is more than just a nod to nostalgia—it’s a testament to form, leadership, and national pride. While many may have assumed Musa’s time in green and white was winding down, the Kano Pillars star has made a compelling case with his performances in the NPFL.
In an era where youth dominates headlines, experience still counts. Musa’s return injects balance into a team that could benefit from his composure and mentorship in a tournament that, while friendly in nature, carries emotional weight especially with Ghana in the mix.
For Musa, this might not be a career renaissance, but it is a reminder legends never truly fade they adapt, return, and inspire again.
