Cristiano Ronaldo’s mother: I Wanted An Abortion, But God Said No. Cristiano Ronaldo’s mother has revealed how close she came to having an abortion when pregnant with the Portuguese superstar. Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro said he was an “unwanted baby”, but her faith in God meant she refused to go through with the termination. She first announced her dilemma in her 2014 autobiography - then claiming that doctors would not allow her to go through with the procedure. She spoke candidly in 'Ronaldo', an upcoming documentary film showing the rise of her son to becoming a three-time Ballon d’Or winner. "He is a child that I wanted to abort," she said. "God didn’t want that to happen and I was blessed because of that and God didn’t punish me. "Sometimes Ronaldo makes fun of me and says: 'You didn’t want me to be born. But now you see that I’m here helping all of you.' And, well, sometimes we have a laugh about that." Cristiano Ronald...

“Andy Ruiz Is Good But He Can’t Beat Me Twice, I Am Smarter Now” – Anthony Joshua Nov 22, 2019 Dethroned world heavyweight champion , Anthony Joshua has again spoken on his first career defeat at the hands of Andy Ruiz Jr.  saying that his inexperience caused his defeat. He however said he has more understanding and has become a “smarter” fighter as he prepares for his December’s rematch. Recall that Mexican-American Ruiz shocked everyone when he defeated world heavyweight champion with a seventh-round stoppage at New York’s Madison Square Garden in June. “It wasn’t burnout. The issues I faced in the last camp, it’s just down to lack of experience. Even though it was at a high level, we were still finding experience. Andy Ruiz is good but I don’t think he should beat me twice. I used to hear guys say you have to take a loss and I would think ‘why’? Now I can understand it and know what it takes. I have more understanding now and my ears are open to new information so...

On Friday, Bill Gates surpassed Amazon (AMZN) CEO Jeff Bezos to reclaim the distinction of richest person in the world, with a net worth of $110 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

He briefly topped Bezos last month after Amazon reported that its profit for the three months ending in September fell nearly 28% from a year earlier. But Gates’ time at the top was short-lived. Gates recently commented on his wealth in response to a wealth tax proposed by some Democratic political candidates, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren. He said he’s paid more than $10 billion in taxes already and it would be fine with him to up that to $20 billion. However, having to pay $100 billion would prompt ...

Announcing my decision to drop the title, “Your Excellency”

Image
Announcing my decision to drop the title, “Your Excellency” In the last five months that I have been privileged to exercise the mandate freely given to me by the great and hardworking people of Lagos State, it has come to my consciousness to review certain features of citizen-government relations which impede the genuine expression of the democratic spirit of our society and the meaningful exercise of the sovereignty of our people. The office of the Governor has been celebrated as the paragon of excellence, a temple of perfection and a throne of purity. This demi-god mystique spreads over the entire machinery of the executive arm of the government, symbolising an authoritarian disposition on the governed. It has deformed the orientation of elected and appointed persons who are paid from the taxes of the people to see themselves as oppressors who can do no wrong and must be served, rather than serve the people. Whatever might have been the reason for this myth, let us be hon...
