Football SPeak... Adnan Who? Adnan Januzaj that's who!

It was a lovely Saturday that had me having lunch and drinks with Korebrown (my colleague at Top Radio 90.9) in my Manchester United tee. We 'stumbled' on the Manchester United .v. Sunderland game which given the choice i would have missed and 'watched' on twitter instead.



As expected, by the fifth minute, Manchester United was in heart attack mode. You know, when your team gives you reasons to panic. Sunderland was up and thirty minutes later, the team still did not look like a winning team. I was being teased, the jokes had started on twitter and i was done when somehow, Manchester United (still the best team in the world but struggling a bit) got saved from potential embarrassment by Adnan Januzaj.



Which then of course, prompted the question, Who Is Adnan Januzaj?

Here is what i found out

- Adnan is 18 years old

- He was born in Brussels

- To Kosovan-Albanian parents

- He joined Manchester United in 2011 from Anderlecht

- Sir Alex Ferguson has been a fan, putting him on the bench for his last game last season.

- He first played for the main team during the Community Shield game against Wigan

- He was given his jersey, 44, by Sir Alex Ferguson

- He has now been reportedly offered sixty thousand pounds a week by Manchester United to extend his contract which expires in eight months

- Januzaj is eligible to represent Belgium through birth, Albania through his parents, Turkey through his grandparents and Serbia due to the disputed status of his parents' homeland of Kosovo. He will be eligible to play for England in 2018

- He is HOT!!!

Going #OutOnALimb

People who came out to support
With Crystal, the founder of the foundation
The Irede Foundation, named after the very lovely Irede got us all up earlier today for the Irede Foundation's #OutOnALimb walk.




Tosyn Bucknor Fela Durotoye Crystal (Founder) and Sayo Odunsi


The #OutOnALimb walk was an awareness walk for children living with disabilities.
We all met up beside Mobil on Awolowo Road, networked and began walking to Falomo and back. We were kept hydrated and it was so well organised.
Walking and Smiling


When we got back to the take-off point, we learnt a bit about why it is important to always have a registered and licensed surgeon/doctor/physio-therapist take care of kids with injuries. Sometimes amputations occur where something simple is left untreated or not treated properly.

Of course i am just giving the most basic gist here. You can check out more information here-
