Nigeria's first lady returns to Abuja, Buhari still expected

The wife of Nigeria’s president, Aisha
Buhari has jetted back to the country
on Saturday amid speculation over
Buhari’s health.
Local media reported that after having
stayed with Buhari for a short while in
London, she went to the kingdom of
Saudi Arabia where she performed
Umrah (Lesser Hajj).
Upon her return to Abuja, she told
Nigerians to stay put and pray for
President Buhari who is seeking medical
help in the United Kingdom.
I want to use this
opportunity to thank all
Nigerians for the goodwill
and support for my husband
and Nigeria in general ”
“I thank God for a journey mercy, I
prayed for Nigeria and Nigerian leaders
and we should not relent in prayers and
good deed. I want to use this
opportunity to thank all Nigerians for
the goodwill and support for my
husband and Nigeria in general,” she
said.
Meanwhile Buhari’s absence in Nigeria
has raised speculations over his health.
Many have cast doubt over the recently
released images of Buhari and other
leaders who visited him in the UK. The
images released by the Presidency to
show Buhari’s condition as not-severe
made no impact as Nigerians on twitter
reacted vigorously.

Jose Mourinho explains who his one-finger celebration was aimed at

Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t hide his emotions after winning the Europa League with Manchester United. After his side triumphed over Ajax 2-0, the Portuguese boss celebrated wildly. Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...

Awaiting the death and burial of recession

Judging by how confident the governor of the Cen­tral Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Mr Godwin Emefiele was as he made the announcement, we can only but agree that, all things being equal – like econ­omists the world over always posit – Nigeria will be out of recession latest by the third quarter of this year. Accord­ing to his well-heeled argu­ment, there was nowhere else for the nation’s beleaguered economy to head on account of the abiding positive indica­tors but out of recession.
