WILL GEORGE WEAH'S POLYGAMISM AFFECT HIS ADMINISTRATION?

George Weah, Liberia’s newly elected president and former soccer star is a dynamic person. He used his lack of education as a catalyst to climb higher; he returned to school and earned a bachelors and master’s degree to further his political aspirations.

Now, as he has been sworn-in to take his seat as President of Liberia, there is some buzz about other aspects of his life. President-elect Weah has had several extramarital affairs, however, his “legal” wife is also due to take the seat of the First Lady or is she? Let’s examine the unique family dynamics of President George and Clar Weah.

George and Clar Weah met at a U.S. branch of Chase Bank. Weah was captivated by the Jamaican native’s beauty and the rest, as they say, is history. Clar resides in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and is a successful businesswoman; she owns a bakery and Caribbean restaurant. They have three children: George Weah Jr ., Timothy Weah , and

Tita Weah.

Despite his marriage and the three children with Clar, Weah has one child with Meapeh Gono and another child with MacDella Cooper.

Cooper is a former model and philanthropist; she launched the MacDella Cooper Foundation and Academy to assist underprivileged children.
The foundation opened its initial school which offers free tuition, room, and board to 80 students aged 4 to 13. Cooper recently made headlines as she also ran for the Liberian presidency making her the only female runner. She endorsed Weah for the presidency in 2014 and describes him as “a good friend.”

Meapeh Gono, the former Assistant Minister of Labor, who, in 2017 described Weah as a “deadbeat father” shares a daughter with him.
Gono received backlash after backtracking from her aforementioned statements about Weah and endorsing him for the 2017 presidential race.
A proud single mother, she lost the respect of other single mothers because she seemingly abandoned her child support battle.

Meapeh Gono.

While we’re on the subject, Weah is rumored to have married a woman named Mamie Doe to be the “official first lady” due to the Jamaican lineage of Mrs Weah. Doe is also the daughter of assassinated former president Samuel Doe.

Veronica Mamie Doe Ahanwa.
The first daughter of the former assassinated Liberian President, Samuel Doe.

Weah stays mum on matters about his private life; ascertaining from his extramarital affairs, he is a staunch supporter of polygamy. Does bigamy have a place in Liberia’s presidency or is it an archaic view that won’t serve this administration?

CUBA CLAIMS CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER IS FIDEL CASTRO'S SON.

The suicide note left by Fidel Castro’s eldest son has rocked the Cuban nation this week, with the most astonishing revelation being the claim that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was his half-brother and the son of the late Fidel Castro. The handwritten note left by Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart, 68, the eldest of Fidel Castro’s children, appears to confirm the longstanding rumor in Cuba that Fidel Castro fathered Justin Trudeau after a public tryst with Margaret Trudeau in 1970. “ Castro Diaz-Balart, who had been attended by a group of doctors for several months due to a state of profound depression, committed suicide this morning ,” Cubadebate website reported. The death of the high-profile government nuclear scientist, also known as “Fidelito”, or Little Fidel, because of how much he looked like his father, stunned the nation, however it is his “ explosive ” suicide note that has set tongues wagging in Havana.

LIONEL MESSI WINS A FIGHT TO REGISTER HIS NAME AS TRADEMARK.

A European court has ruled that Lionel Messi, the world's top earning footballer, can trademark his own name. The Barcelona and Argentina striker fought a seven-year fight to be able to use his name on sports goods. His original application was challenged by the Spanish cycling brand, Massi, which argued that the names were too similar and would cause confusion. But the EU's General Court ruled that the footballer was too well known for confusion to arise. The ruling comes days after France Football magazine reported Mr Messi had overtaken Cristiano Ronaldo as the highest earner in football, with an income of €126m (£108m). Mr Ronaldo is making €94m, the magazine said. Mr Messi's application to trademark his name was made to the European Union Office for Intellectual Property (EUIPO) in 2011. It ruled against the footballer, saying the names were similar, because their dominant elements, "consisting of the terms 'Massi' and ...

GERMANY INSTALLS CABLES OVER HIGHWAY TO POWER HYBRID TRUCKS.

A stretch of a prominent Germany highway just got a high-tech upgrade: overhead power lines — like the ones you only see over rail tracks — that can power hybrid trucks. The German government announced that a 6-mile (10 km) stretch of the autobahn got the upgrade, a test that could pave the way for a new carbon neutral strategy to transport goods. The system, developed by German conglomerate Siemens in 2012, allows hybrid trucks to charge their batteries while traveling at speeds of up to 56 mph (90 km/h). Image: Siemens. Similar stretches of electric highways have been built in Sweden and the United States. Other solutions for charging electric vehicles while on-the-go include rails built into the asphalt . Electrifying truck transportation could also save a tonne of fuel: 20,000 euros' worth for every truck traveling 62,000 miles (100,000 km), according to Siemens’ website .

MARTIN LUTHER KING'S FAMILY DISAPPOINTED BY NIGERIANS.

A family member of Martin Luther King, Isaac has cleared the air on controversies surrounding the award given to President Muhammadu Buhari. Naomi Barbara King (R), a matriarch of the King family presenting a ‘commemorative plaque’ to president Buhari. Speaking to TVC, Isaac Luther King said his family’s visit to Nigeria was humanitarian refuting reports that they were paid to embark on the move. He expressed disappointment in Nigerians for the criticisms trailing his family’s visit to Buhari. According to him, he came to establish a bond with Nigeria based on his family’s love for the country. He told the TV station, “I am the nephew of Martin Luther King Jnr, I served for a period of five years as president of King’s centre. You cannot buy me or anyone else in my family “So the fake news, slander on my good character is a lie. “Anything that I have done or said about your president came from my heart or brain not based on any compensation, mon...

DENMARK CALLS FOR EU BAN ON ALL DIESEL & PETROL CARS BY 2040.

An anti-exhaust emission traffic sign is pictured in Copenhagen, Denmark April 18, 2017. Image: Reuters. Luxembourg, LUXEMBOURG: Denmark, backed by 10 other European Union countries, on Friday called for an EU-wide ban on diesel and petrol cars by 2040 to combat climate change. Denmark made the proposal during a meeting of EU environment ministers in Luxembourg. The EU aims to cut carbon emissions in the bloc by 40 per cent by 2030 while its executive, the Commission, plans to reduce them to zero by 2050 to help stop global warming. "We need to acknowledge that we are in a bit of a hurry," Danish Climate and Energy Minister Dan Jorgensen told Reuters after the meeting. He said the diesel and petrol car ban will hopefully put pressure on the Commission to propose a phasing out of fossil fuel-powered vehicles in the bloc in the coming two decades. Denmark made headlines in October 2018 when its government announced that it would ban the sale of a...

NIGERIAN SENATORS EARN MORE THAN TRUMP AND UK PM, SAY CHIEF OYEBOLA

Image:premiumtimesng.com. Chairman of the Movement for Nigeria’s Total Transformation, Chief Areoye Oyebola, has faulted the Nigerian federal lawmakers for ignoring the widespread call for the downward review of their “monumental salaries and allowances.” Oyebola said the recent outburst of the federal legislators by the Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), was just one of many criticisms that had trailed the lawmakers over the years but to which they had turned deaf ears. “It is also strange, unthinkable and very disheartening that a senator, not minding the grinding poverty of Nigerians, earns $1.7m a year, which is far higher than the $400,000 yearly income of the United States’ President, whose stupendous country is the richest in the world. Even a member of the House of Representatives also earns more than the American President. What a tragic and pathetic situation! “Worse still, each of our National Assembly member...

MALARIA VACCINE PROVES HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IN BURKINA FASO.

A vaccine against malaria has been shown to be highly effective in trials in Africa, holding out the real possibility of slashing the death toll of a disease that kills 400,000 mostly small children every year. The vaccine, developed by scientists at the Jenner Institute of Oxford University, showed up to 77% efficacy in a trial of 450 children in Burkina Faso over 12 months. The hunt for a malaria vaccine has been going on the best part of a century. One, the Mosquirix vaccine developed by GlaxoSmithKline, has been through lengthy clinical trials but is only partially effective, preventing 39% of malaria cases and 29% of severe malaria cases among small children in Africa over four years. It is being piloted by the World Health Organization in parts of Kenya, Ghana and Malawi. The Oxford vaccine is the first to meet the WHO goal of 75% efficacy against the mosquito-borne parasite disease. Larger trials are now beginning, involving 4,800 children in four countries. Prof ...

WHY CHINA'S DOG-MEAT MARKET HAS EXPANDED.

Every year during the summer solstice, a dog-eating festival takes place in Yulin, a city in the southern Chinese province of Guangxi. This year’s event ended with the usual controversy. Photographs of dogs being fried or treated cruelly went viral. The Jinhua Hutou Dog Meat Festival, as it is called, was abruptly canceled last week. Animal-rights activists and American congressmen demanded that China ban the eating of dogs and cats, as Taiwan did in April. Yulin’s local government took modest steps to restrain or hide some of the more contentious activities, such as selling dogs in food markets. Still, the festival was packed. Why has the controversial culinary habit become so popular in China? Contrary to cliché, dog meat has not always been a common item in the Chinese diet. Unlike in the West, eating dogs has never been taboo, but it appears to have been rare in the past. Government accounts single out butchers who sold dog meat, suggesting it ...

ONE IN SEVEN PEOPLE IN HONG KONG IS A MILLIONAIRE.

While many people dream of being in the top 0.01 percent of wealth in the world, in Hong Kong that dream is far more likely to be a reality. According to a recent Citibank study, statistics showed the city's population in 2017 was 7.36 million and it had a million millionaires in the same year. In other words, one in seven people in Hong Kong are millionaires. Hong Kong had a million millionaires last year, up 15% from a year earlier, 68,000 of whom have at least 10 million Hong Kong dollars, or $1.27 million, according to a Citibank study released Thursday. The study defines millionaires as those with liquid assets - deposits, mutual funds, and stocks and bonds - of 1 million Hong Kong dollars ($127,430). It was conducted from September to November last year and involved 4,139 Hongkongers and 200 mainlanders. Lau Man, 76, the chairman of the Hong Kong Reparation Association, in Hong Kong in 2015 with his 100,000 Japanese military yen left by his father....
