Happy birthday Governor Musa. In fact he seems to be getting better with age. 42 goals in 125 league matches is no mean feet.
In the latter part of the season with csk, 6 goals in 10 matches, for Nigeria 3 goals and 1 assist in 5 games, for Saudi club, 5 goals in 5 games.
Happy birthday my best Super Eagles player of 2018.
