President Muhammadu Buhari

Nigerians have continued to criticise President Muhammadu Buhari on the way he has handled the economy since he came to power with the naira spiralling down. Simon Kolawole who is considered the biggest critic of President Buhari however identifies the fact that Goodluck Jonathan paved the way for Nigeria’s current situation by failing to save during the oil boom period. Times are hard If you were a lover of reggae music in the 1970s, you would certainly know “Time Hard”, a hit song by The Pioneers, the Jamaican three-man band. “Everyday,” they sang, sonorously, “things are getting worse.” That song was released in 1972. At the time, Nigeria was producing two million barrels of crude oil per day and selling at an average price of $1.8 per barrel. We were not yet oil-dependent, so the revenue was basically a bonus. By 1974, oil was selling for $11, six times the 1972 price, and our stomach ballooned. We became helplessly hooked on petrodollars. The only song Nigerians could be singing was: “Things are getting better.” The Pioneers would not sell.

Theresa May Britain Prime Minister

When Theresa May took over as Britain's new Prime Minister, her spouse of nearly four decades stepped out of the shadows and into the limelight.

Decked out in a dapper navy suit and blue tie, Philip May stood beside his wife of 36 years as she assumed her new role. He looked on adoringly, grinning widely as supporters cheered.

When the spotlight fades and the hard work begins, Philip May will be right next to the political veteran as she tries to clean up the mess left behind by Brexit.

As the second man to serve as first husband in the UK, the investment banker will have a rare glimpse into the challenges of creating a new Britain after a divided country voted to leave the European Union.

But while his wife is stepping into a role filled with uncertainties, being the spouse of a high-profile British politician is nothing new to him.

The couple got married in 1980, four years after they met through another powerful woman: Benazir Bhutto.

Bhutto, who went on to become the Pakistani Prime Minister, introduced them at a disco while they attended Oxford, according to British media.

'A real rock'

Through their years together, Philip May has seen his wife through tragedies -- especially the loss of both her parents shortly after they got married.

Her father, Hubert Brasier, died in a car crash and his widow, Zaidee Brasier, died a few months later after a battle with multiple sclerosis, according to British media.

"That was very important for me. He was a real rock for me," she told the BBC at the time.

But he's also seen her through powerful positions, including her latest role as home secretary since May 2010. She's also served as member of parliament for Maidenhead since 1997.

Through it all, Philip May is happy to take a back seat.

"Around the office, he is a fairly head down type of guy," a co-worker at Capital Group told The Guardian in Britain.

"There is a stereotypical investment manager with a big ego -- he's not like that at all. He is fairly quiet, keeps to himself. He has very good integrity and never trades off his wife's name."

May is not a common fixture at local bars, and prefers a laid back lifestyle that includes watching lots of cricket, a hobby he shares with his wife, local media reported.

Veteran banker

The career investment banker works at fund management company Capital Group in a behind-the-scenes role as client relationship manager, according to The Guardian. It said he's worked for the company since 2005.

His resume lists a lifetime of investment-related jobs, including working as a stockbroker and head of pension funds for numerous companies based in Europe and the United States.

Despite their influential jobs, the couple is notoriously private.

Before their move to Downing Street, they lived in the exclusive Sonning-on-Thames neighborhood, which is also home to lawyer and activist Amal Clooney.

Theresa May has said she loves cooking and her husband loves eating her food. In addition to cricket, they share another hobby -- hiking up the mountains.

"On holiday, my husband and I do a lot of quite strenuous walking up mountains in Switzerland," Theresa May said in a column for Balance magazine.

Philip May steps into the shoes of another first spouse -- Denis Thatcher.

The latter's wife, Margaret Thatcher, served as the first female Prime Minister of the UK between 1979-1990.

Serena Williams has added one more Grand Slam to her title, keeping her rooted to the World number one spot.

A couple of months ago, eight armed men raided, Supper Cell Estate, an upscale residential estate located in Apo area of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja, unleashing terror on its residents, killing two persons, including a pregnant woman. Two other victims sustained life threatening injuries. Among those injured, was the husband of the pregnant woman who lost his two legs during the robbery operation, with a middle-aged woman, Glory Uzoh, who relocated recently to Abuja, from Lagos State. The robbers shot at her twice; one in her abdomen and the other, on her arm. Uzoh, could not have been luckier as the bullet which penetrated her abdomen, also damaged her intestine, before pulling out from her back.

Portugal beat France to win Euro 2016 final with Éder’s extra-time goal

Portugal, the team that finished third in their group, had found a way even on a night when their greatest footballer was taken off on a stretcher. The players of France were on their knees and suddenly it was a sunrise of a smile on Ronaldo’s face, in stark contrast to the devastation that had been seen earlier in the night.

Adele hints she's waiting for her baby daddy Simon Konecki to pop the question

The star wants to tie the knot with the charity boss, with whom she has a three-year-old son

Adele has revealed she wants to tie the knot with her baby daddy.

The Hello hitmaker opened up to her fans on stage at her concert at the Xcel Center in Minnesota on Tuesday night where she dropped hints to her partner Simon Konecki - with whom she has three-year-old son Angelo - that she'd like the 42-year-old charity CEO to pop the question.

When I was growing up I read a lot of newspapers. They were everywhere in my house. My dad had a ‘vendor’ who walked around the estate every day. This dude had a shiny forehead adorned with sweat bullets. His left arm was loaded with a bunch of daily newspapers and periodicals. His right hand held a duck call horn that he would toot to let the neighborhood know he had arrived.
