Let’s just say we LOVE this proposal in the heart of Lagos Island right next to the historic Cathedral. “On Sunday evening @ojay_lagos proposed to his sweetheart, Tamilore Faboya, using an Elevate media Ng digital billboard.” “Deeper than words, beyond right. Die for your love; beyond life.” “These were thoughts on OJ’s mind when he was barreling down to Marina to propose to the love of his life. You see he had a plan to propose to Tammy at 6.30 and he was almost behind schedule.” I'll say It was the most honest and beautiful proposal deep set in the old city of Lagos with no one but them and everyone with them.

Images of the World Cup’s first ever deconstructable stadium have been revealed.

The innovative arena is to be built using modified shipping containers, a nod to it’s position adjacent to Doha’s shoreline, and every material used can be removed after the tournament.

Manchester United are being tipped to make a surprise January raid on Everton for striker Henry Onyekuru. The Nigeria striker joined the Toffees over the summer from KAS Eupen, but was sent back to Belgium on loan with Anderlecht after Everton failed to land a work permit for the striker. Since returning to the Belgian leagues, however, Onyekuru has been in brilliant form and has been watched a number of times by both United and Barcelona, according to claims in the Belgium media. Now both ESPN and Het Laatste Nieuws claim the striker will be the subject of a January enquiry from Manchester United, who want to cash in on the uncertainty surrounding his future by making a firm move. Everton are understandably wanting to bring the striker back to Goodison, but United’s interest could yet spark a surprise January move for Onyekuru, who has already struck eight times this season.
