Luka Modric winning the Ballon d’Or inadvertently saved Manchester United from having to part with £7.2million. The Real Madrid midfielder won the coveted award for the first time on Monday night after a brilliant season in which he lifted the Champions League trophy and led Croatia to the final of the World Cup. Modric won the Best FIFA Men’s Player of the Year award earlier this season and was favourite to scoop the Ballon d’Or as well. Manchester United’s Anthony Martial was never in the running for the award, with five-time winner Cristiano Ronaldo finishing second in the race for it and Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann coming third. But had Martial scooped the award this season then the Red Devils would have had to pay out £7.2million to his former club Monaco. The reason for this is that when United agreed to sign Martial back in 2015 the two clubs shook on a special clause.The clause, which would be triggered if Martial won the Ballon d’Or by 2019, would s...

We have also educated our people on this and we all agreed. That is why we decided to place an embargo. A...

On Friday, November 30th 2018, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake ripped apart this road in Anchorage, Alaska, and created a huge hole that made the unfortunate SUV that fell in look like a toy. However, in less than four days, the road was already fixed. The jagged chucks of broken road are gone, the hole is filled, the road has been repaved and fresh lines have been painted. According to the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, it's harder to pave roads at this time of year because of the cold temperatures, but they were able to do it. The federal government released $5 million in emergency funds a day after the incident to help get the repairs done. (?: Alaska Tour & Travel/Scott Marsteller)

The pastor from Soshanguve, north of Pretoria, South Africa appeared in magistrate's court on Thursday, to face two counts of rape and one of sexual assault. The pastor is alleged to have been abusing a group of boys that were attending a ministry school at his church to graduate as pastors themselves. A now 19-year-old victim said he was 16 years old when the abuse started. He said he had been staying and sleeping at the Hands of God International Ministries for three years to train as a pastor. "It started in 2015 one night when he woke me up while I was sleeping with other boys in another bedroom that we shared as junior pastors," the teen said. He said the pastor called him to his bedroom and told him that he was the "chosen one". "He said God had chosen me to be his (pastor) protector. He 'anointed' himself with oil all over his body and started kissing me while I was shocked. He then penetrated me." The teen said he was scare...

For nearly 70 years, an American woman Genevieve Purinton believed the baby she gave birth to in Indiana had died in the hospital. However on Monday, 3rd December, she met that baby girl, now a 69-year-old woman named Connie Moultroup. “Because she was an unmarried mother, she was told that I had died.

The two finally met in Tampa on Monday. “It was just a crying fest,” she said. (?: Connie Moultroup/Bonnie Chase)

It’s no doubt that Nigerian singer, Davido, is one to be a workaholic who continues to build his already internationally recognized music career with much zeal and enthusiasm. 2018 was quite the year for the singer, as it can be safely said that he dominated the music scene with banging singles and features that topped the charts for weeks. In no more than few hours, the singer is set to drop what might be his last single for the year 2018 which would presumably be another hit judging from ones he’d released over the year. In light of this, one would think that the singer, being the enthusiast that he is, would channel that energy into the coming year but from his new revelation, it looks like he’ll be slowing down a bit. According to him, the year 2019 is the year of “ I can’t come and kill myself “. He shared on his Instastories, I

His Instagram post reads: “If God destroyed Shiloh, why are we resurrecting it every year?” Also why does he resurrect Shiloh each year? Does he now know better than God? Or is he serving another god? ? Jeremiah 7 New Int...
