Cameroon international Alex Song has surely made the biggest gesture of October as he bought his wife a suite of luxury apartments in Yaounde, the capital of his native country. Here's a look!
The story
Gifts are a wonderful gesture no matter how big or small. However, the ex-Arsenal star has issued the biggest one of them all, as his wife is the lucky recipient of a five-flour apartment. The player accompanied the gesture with a heartfelt and romantic message, where he recalled his early days in London when he couldn't afford fancy gifts.
"Happy birthday to my best friend the love of my life the most wonderful mother, you are my source of motivation, I thank you for all the support you have given me for so many years," Song's heartfelt message on Instagram said.
"I remember back in 2006 in London when we lived in a little two-bedroom flat, the first time I gave you a present for your birthday"

He added: "Thank God it was not easy for me to carry out this project without you knowing who the instigator is. I had to make you understand that this building located in the middle of the golf course just 50 metres from the United States Embassy in Yaoundé is in the continuity of NOKAY17, and I knew that you could never suspect it, that in reality this building is intended for you.

"It was my dream to offer you this gift Oli Booboo Apartments in memory of our small apartment in London, in a building where it was not easy for us, here is how I was able to realize this dream today, and I am proud of it. You are everything to me, my only love for life.
"Do with this building what you want, you don't have to answer to anyone, neither to me nor to your children, eat, spend, run, jump, it's up to you, enjoy yourself, do of that what you want, even go to Baden Baden with or even to Tcholéré, in short, it's up to you to do what you want."
