| VICTOR MOSES |
Some days back we came across some messages, where some Nigerian's were either joking or claiming that Russia based Nigerian left full-back Taye Taiwo was celebrating his so called ''25th'' birthday in Russia, while his supposed twin who lives in Nigeria was celebrating his ''33rd''. It was hilarious in a way, but also got us curious. Could Taye Taiwo have lied all this years and given a football age, that we all took hook, line & sinker? Does that mean that the average Nigerian footballers age including those now retired cannot be less than plus 10 of whatever age they are claiming. Meaning someone like KN is actually in his late 40's going on early 50's or AO about 40 going on to 45? Would this be the reason that many of them have not been able to really excel like they should. Is there no way, one can detect the actual (real age). If truly Taye is really 33 years old, it must mean he would soon be retiring soon and no wonder the ''laws of diminishing returns'' has set in.
In the case of Victor Moses, who is having one of the best seasons of his life in football right now. Having moved from a relatively small football club in England, to one of the top 3 best in the UK & one of the best in Europe presently, in the shape of Chelsea FC of England. The young man contributed so well to his club achievements in only his first season there. Not forgetting he was also fantastic in Nigeria's Nations Cup win in South Africa earlier this year. The gist currently going on about is that contrary to his claim to have lost his parents a few years ago to sectarian riots in the Northern parts of Nigeria (Kaduna State to be more precise). That claim might well be very farfetched and totally away from the truth. According to some reports, his parents are said to be hale & hearty, very alive in Edo State of Nigeria presently.
According to the old media reports Mr & Mrs Austine & Josephine Moses- supposed parents of Victor Moses, who were said to be missionaries and were supposedly killed in 2002 during the sectarian riots in Kaduna. The 11 year old had gone out to play football, only to return to a home already destroyed and parents murdered. Victor Moses hence had to travel to the UK to seek for asylum. And the rest his now history.
With this new discovery now as claimed by Sunday Express of Sunday, May 26 to June 1, 2013 on their page 6. So what is the true situation of things? What does Victor Moses have to say about what has been discovered? Is this a case of doing all one could do, to seek for the golden fleece abroad?
Please Taye & Victor let's know the Truth!

Truth is Nigerian footballers claim younger birth dates.
Nigerians generally are funny when it comes to age stuffs, wanting to know people's age, arguing over people's ages, comparing ages to looks and achievements.
When I tell people am 40, they begin to help analyse my life and look. And you've grown up daughters? Were you married when you had them? So you married while in Uni? How old did you marry? And many more.....
Taye Taiwo obviously doctored his age!
As per Victor Moses, lips sealed.
but the guy has consistently said his twin brother or sister, cant remember now, died when they were like 6yrs old

In another news, it's Idowu who's 33 as Kehinde is late! Either way, Idowu or Kehinde can't be 33 and Taye 25!
Not only footballers, even our parliamentarians lie about their qualifications and past careers.
