Sarah Palin, Former Governor Of Alaska, Opens Up About Divorce
Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska and 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate opened up about her divorce in a recent interview with Dr. James Dobson, founder of the Family Talk Christian Ministry. She found out her husband of 31 years, Todd Palin, was seeking a divorce via an email from his attorney. She received the mail and was devastated. It was a June 19, and a day she will never forget- “I’ll never forget it” – almost three months before Todd officially filed in September, on his birthday. Court documents previously revealed Todd cited “incompatibility of temperament” and that “they find it impossible to live together as husband and wife.” The divorce filing came a week after their wedding anniversary. Speaking on how she felt, she said- “I thought I got shot, ‘Wow, maybe except the death of a child, I don’t know what could be more .’ Yeah, it hurts.” Despite Todd’s filing, Sarah says their marriage “is not over over” and told Dobson that they’re “going through counseling.” When Dobson asked how people could pray for her, Sarah said “the prayer would be for, of course, God’s will to...

China’s economy betrayed further signs of strain on Thursday with data showing a sharp slowdown in consumer spending and factory production while investment growth hit a record low as the trade US war takes its toll. The readings are the latest to give a headache to leaders in Beijing, who are battling the tariffs row with the US as well as a weak global outlook, while trying to control a debt mountain at home. Officials said retail sales, a key gauge of spending by the country’s vast army of consumers, grew 7.2 percent on-year last month, down 0.6 percentage points from September and short of expectations. The figures from the National Bureau of Statistics also showed growth in industrial production came in at 4.7 percent, from 5.8 percent a month earlier. And fixed-asset investment expanded 5.2 percent in the first 10 months, the lowest ever recorded with comparable data going back to 1998. Forecasts had been for 5.4 percent. Liu Aihua at the NBS warned China was facing a “complex international economic situation” with downward pressure on the domestic economy. And analysts warned of more headwinds for the world’s number two economy,...

For Mr Emeka Abugu, his ability to loose, patch, pumb, tighten and service motorcycle carburetors could be best described as a miracle as it defies all scientific tenets.

Read moreFederal Government allays fear on Third Mainland Bridge collapse
Pledges early rehabilitation of Apongbon Bridge The Federal Government has allayed fears of residents and motorists on the stability of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos, saying that it is strong and safe. This is coming against the backdrop of the trending video on the failure of the bridge. The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Adaramola Kuti, who spoke on behalf of the government at a joint press conference addressed with the Special Adviser to Lagos State Governor on Works and Infrastructure, Aramide Adeyoye and the state Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Fredrick Oladeinde, dismissed the video as old and urged Lagosians to ignore it.

According to him, the Federal Government has no plan to shut down the Third Mainland Bridge for rehabilitation before the end of this year. “We want to assure Lagosians that the Third Mainland Bridge is free, it...

Wenger Ends Bayern Rumours After Being Named FIFA’s Development Chief
Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger returned to football on Wednesday after being named FIFA’s chief of global football development, ending any chance of a move to managerless Bayern Munich. FIFA said the former Arsenal and Monaco coach would be responsible for the growth of the game “for both men and women around the world”, and would also be the “leading authority on technical matters”, including potential changes to the sport’s laws. It added that Wenger, 70, would also be tasked with coach education and aiding a programme designed to help former players enter management. “I very much look forward to taking on this extremely important challenge,” Wenger said in a statement. “Not only because I have always been interested in analysing football from a broader perspective but also because FIFA’s mission as world football’s governing body is truly global.” Rumours of Wenger making a shock return to coaching had intensified over the weekend after Wenger denied claims by Bayern Munich that they had turned down his offer to take over at the German champions after the sacking of Niko Kovac. Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge then said there had been a “misunderstanding” and...

Border Closure: Senate To Summon Customs CG Over Ban On Fuel Supply
The Senate on Wednesday mandated its committee on Customs to summon the Comptroller General of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) Hameed Ali over the suspension of the supply of petroleum products to border towns. The Upper Chamber issued this directive after considering a motion moved by Senator Odebiyi Akinremi, APC Ogun West, who asked that the senate revisit the suspension order placed by the customs service on the supply of petroleum products to border communities. Senator Akinremi said the directive by the Customs Service is causing a huge scarcity of petroleum products in the border towns as well raising the cost of fuel astronomically. The Senate therefore mandated its Committee on Customs to summon the Comptroller General of the Nigerian Customs, with a view of working out a viable economic framework/policy that could further mitigate the sufferings of the people, and communities across the border areas. They also resolved to call on the CG to urgently explore the use of modern technological devices in the tracking, management, and scheduling of petroleum trucks that undertake business along the border towns. According to the lawmakers, a comprehensive audit of all petroleum stations and suppliers...
