MUHAMMAD ALI'S ONLY SON IS TOTALLY BROKE...!

Muhammad Ali’s only biological son has claimed he is surviving on less than $8 a day and is forced to do odd jobs to make ends meet.

Muhammad Ali Junior expected to inherit $5 million after the boxing legend’s death, aged 74, in 2016.

But he claims all he receives is a small allowance from the estate, meaning he will spend Christmas penniless.

Junior said:

“I have no plans for Christmas. I’m just trying to make a living.

“I’ll do anything – construction, breaking up concrete, painting, but at the moment I’m making nothing. I cut grass, pull hedges, weeds, clean shutters, clean gutters. My friend lets me use his truck and equipment and I give him half.”

Junior, 46, lives in a dingy room in a three-bedroom condo in Miami.

Estranged wife Shaakira, 49, and their two young children live in Englewood, Chicago – a neighbourhood with one of the worst crime rates in the US.

He and Shaakira are barely on speaking terms after she gave an interview in 2016, wrongly claiming he ran away to Florida with his fortune.

Yet Junior said he received no windfall and moved to be nearer his mother, his father’s first wife Khalilah, and to find corporate work. But that did not work out.

He had expected to share his father’s $63 million(approximately) estate with the boxer’s fourth wife Lonnie, seven daughters and adopted son Assad.

However, tensions have existed between Junior and his stepmother for decades.

Lonnie, 61, who had power of attorney over the fortune, is understood to have helped to write the ex-heavyweight champ’s will before his death.

Junior claimed the Muhammad Ali Estate gives him only $1,000 a month for rent and a further $300.

He has no bank account and has to pay commission to cash the cheques. It leaves him with $200 a month – or $7 a day – after bills.

Junior said:

“I miss my kids so much. My wife said I abandoned them and got millions, which was wrong. Even though I earn next to nothing, I’d love to send money back home for the kids or be able to afford a flight to Chicago.”

Junior believes other relatives get more money but he cannot know as they have not spoken for two years.

He added:

“It makes me feel like crap but I deal with it. What else can I do?

“I try to get more money from the estate but they won’t do it. They say, ‘We’ll give it to you when you need it’.

“Last time I asked for more they ¬actually cut it by a hundred bucks.”

The Muhammad Ali estate was contacted for a comment.

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. Amid a wide-ranging barrage of compl...

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....
