Okoye's missing his heartthrob

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Maduka Okoye is certainly missing someone dear to his heart since he left his base in the Netherlands to honour an international call, Instagram.

The Super Eagles number one was in between the stick when Nigeria defeated Liberia in a World Cup qualifier by 2-0.

The 22-year-old who had little or nothing to do in the game against the Lone Stars posted his girlfriend on his Insta Story.

The dark-skinned lady was putting on a black gown holding Okoye as she tried to kiss him when the photo was taken.
