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?

NIGERIA'S PRESIDENT BUHARI TO REDUCE AGE LIMITS FOR POLITICAL OFFICE.

Lagos, NIGERIA: Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari will approve a new law to reduce age limits in political office, which could make it easier for younger candidates to run in next year's election. The move comes after intense pressure from youth groups, which pushed the government to adopt the legislation, saying they were politically marginalised. "In (a) few days to come, I will be joined by many promising young Nigerians to sign into law the 'Not Too Young To Run' bill," President Buhari, 75, said in a speech to mark the country's annual Democracy Day public holiday. Last month President Buhari said that he would run for a second term next year. The bill reduces the minimum age for presidential candidates from 40 to 35, and senators and state governors from 35 to 30. The minimum age for national and state assembly members will now become 25. He also reassured Nigerians during his speech of the administration's commitm...

KING MSWATI III IMPORTS 19 ROLLS ROYCE & 120 BMWs FOR PERSONAL USE.

Mbabane, ESWATINI: King Mswati III, the ruler of poverty-stricken African nation Eswatini, has been accused of ‘showing the middle finger’ to his subjects as he flaunts his lavish car collection. Eswatini, known until last year as Swaziland, is a developing country with a comparatively small economy. The average salary in the country is estimated at around £10,000 – meaning that most Swazis would have to work all their lives to get even near owning a Rolls Royce. The 20 Rolls Royces are reportedly to be shared between the King's 15 wives . Image: CEN. Mswati III has this week imported 19 Rollers for his personal use and has reportedly also bought 120 BMWs. Opposition politician Wandile Dludlu condemned the king’s purchase of these luxury vehicles. "Last week, a total of 19 Rolls-Royce cars were delivered to Swaziland for the exclusive use of the king, his mother and his wives," said. "According to reports, some of these cars a...

NAMIBIA VOWS TO GRAB FARMS FROM WHITE FARMERS.

Okahandja, NAMIBIA: Vibrant rows of neatly lined plants grow on a patch once trampled by the cattle of a large commercial farm run by a family of German descent in Namibia. From that 2,400 square-meter rectangle of sand in the northern Otjozondjupa region, Kornelius Hamasab, 69, now produces spinach, onions and tomatoes. Hamasab is among the 16 percent of black Namibians owning arable land in the semi-desert southwest African nation. White Namibians, who are descended from former colonizers Germany and South Africa and make up six percent of the population, own 70 percent of the land. "It doesn't seem right to me," said Hamasab, who acquired his land as compensation five years after the farm downsized into a guesthouse in 2000 and laid off its staff. "The government should do something about it," he added, while his family picked and rinsed collared greens to be sold in the capital Windhoek, 150 kilometers away. Namibia adopted ...

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on his bicycle. Image: Reuters. The Hague, NETHERLANDS: With its sweeping views over the sparkling Hofvijver pond, the Binnenhof – the Gothic castle in the heart of The Hague that houses the States General of the Netherlands – is quite something. It’s little wonder Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte enjoys commuting to his office there. And recently he’s made the journey by bike as often as possible. “I didn't cycle a lot for 10 years. But for the past two years, I’ve had my own bike again and, when the weather allows, I travel into the office that way,” he told the World Economic Forum. The Dutch are famous for their love of cycling. In 2018, the country had more bicycles than people : 23 million to 17 million. More than a quarter of all trips in the country are made by bike and of those, a quarter are for getting work, like Rutte. He explains why it’s long been such a phenomenon: “The Dutch love cycling beca...

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.
