He was so much into football and his parents persuaded him not to abandon his studies for the sport but his idea was vice versa. He opted to take academics seriously in case football didn’t work out.

After becoming successful in his career, Moses has been involved in community projects by drilling three boreholes around the village he came from. Before his involvement in the project, he was more into supporting Internally Displaced Persons.

Simon is married to a lady by the name Ibukun Sarah Adenuga and together have two beautiful girls and they practice the Christian faith.
