Arsenal Win English Premier League For First Time In 22 Years

  Arsenal ended their 22-year wait to be crowned English Premier League champions on Tuesday after Manchester City were held 1-1 by Bournemouth. Manchester City  had to win to take the title fight to the final day, but the Cherries extended their unbeaten streak to 17 league games, a run which has secured European football for the first time in the club’s history. After finishing second for the past three seasons, Mikel Arteta’s Gunners have finally made it over the line to end a six-year trophy drought. Arsenal edged to the brink of the title with an unconvincing 1-0 win over already relegated Burnley on Monday, which took them five points clear of City. The Gunners, who have set the pace for most of the season, have bounced back impressively since losing to City last month, winning four straight league matches without conceding a goal. On Monday, just 48 hours after completing a domestic cup double with victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup final, City were rocked by widespread...

Happie Boys Get Second Chance As Philanthropists Gift Them Motorcycles To Rebuild Their Lives

-

  Two Nigerians, Matthew Precious Kelechi and Amakor Johnson, popularly known as Happie Boys, who rose to fame in 2022 after a video of them dancing while on duty as security guards went viral, have received two brand new motorcycles from philanthropist De Kings and content creator Gossipmill to help them start a new chapter as dispatch riders. Their story since going viral has been eventful and at times difficult. The attention they gained led to their dismissal from their security jobs, and while they were later offered a scholarship to study in Cyprus, that opportunity ended badly when both were arrested and deported back to Nigeria in late 2023. Since returning home, they have been trying to make ends meet through various online ventures. The gift of motorcycles has been widely seen as a practical and meaningful gesture to help the duo get back on their feet. Reactions on social media have been largely positive, with many people cheering on the second chance they have been give...
