Former Kano Pillars forward and a member of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Ahmed Musa has categoricaly stated that Kano Pillars Fc is the only club in the Nigerian Premier League with a sound reputation.Musa who was once a top scorer in the Nigerian Premier League with Kano Pillars and currently plays for CSKA Moscow in Russia spoke exclusively with Oma Akatugba in Munich Germany after CSKA Moscow´s final UEFA Champions league group game against bayern Munich.
“Kano Pillars is the only Nigerian club operating just as a
European club.That’s the only team where you see fans wearing the official
colour of the team during league matches.The fans always buy the famous yellow
Jersey of the club and they put it on whenever the team play matches at home.This explains why Kano Pillars is always the best in terms
of proper organisation and management.Kano Pillars is the only club its jerseys
are sold across Nigeria.Even in the East,Kano Pillars Jerseys are sold” Musa
who was born in jos and raised in Jos but moved to Kano Pillars after just a season with Plateu
United further stated that Kano Pillars hardly owe players.”If you come to Kano
Pillars,they are always open.If you ask for 10 Million and Kano Pillars can not
afford it they will let you know they can pay only 3 Million which is better
than 10 Million Niara on paper with other teams that you will never receive and
you will receive all your entitlements before the season ends.You win a match
today, before another match you get your match Bonus.So even though you earn for example 80.000 a month you will hardly touch your salary because you always get your
match bonus.Feeding allowance is always available,hotel is always standard:”
The CSKA Moscow Forward said.
Ahmed Musa was part of the triumphant Super Eagles team that won the Afcon 2013 in South
Africa as well as the Super Eagles Team that played at the FIFA World
Cup Brazil 2014 where he scored a brace against Lionel Messi´s Argentina in one of the group stage matches further said .
"I bought a house for my Family while playing for Kano Pillars.If they
owed salaries and other entitlements how would I have been able to do that
playing in the local league".He ended by saying he hopes and pray that the
situation in the Nigerian Premier League improves so that just like the South
African Premier League,the Nigerian player can be at home and enjoy the
benefits of proffesional football instead of traveling to obscure places all in
the name of playing professional football.
