A former Nigerian footballer and also a current coach, Emeka Ezeugo has converted to Islam.
Talking
to newsmen on Monday, the 46 year old man who used to be a defender and
midfielder said he was inspired by the life of Prophet Mohammed whom he
thinks is the greatest among all messengers of God and he feels
honoured to be one of his followers.
He said, "I am always a
curious person and studied different religions when I found the life of
Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) very inspiring".
He has now
taken a new name, Mustafa Mohammed and plans to apply for a new passport
with his new name once he returns to his home in Nigeria.
According
to him, though all members of his family are Roman Catholics, they
accepted his decision as he is old enough to decide what he wants.
Emeka
went to a Muslim cleric last week along with Mohammedan manager Amirul
Islam, his former team-mate Kaiser Hamid, Zaker party leader Amir Faisal
and club official Abu Hasan Prince to convert to Islam.
