Femi Adesina describes those making negative comments about Buhari's government as Haters

In a chat with Channels TV this morning, Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, says those Nigerians making negative comments about the Buhari-led administration are haters.

According to him, haters never see anything good in their enemies. When asked to respond to a comment made by a guest on the show that President Buhari does not have the mental capacity to manage Nigeria, Adesina said

''You know that haters will always be haters. Whenever anybody is a hater, there is nothing good his enemy can do.There is a saying in Yoruba that the horse of your enemy is never tall. Even if the horse is as tall as a storey building, you would say the horse is a dwarf horse because it belongs to your enemy. If somebody had said that about President Buhari, if he is a hater, goodluck to him. But the truth is that in Nigeria today, money is being better spent and the economy is responsive to the money that is being better spent''.

How ambitious Meghan Markle "told friend she wanted to be president one day"

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is said to have told a former close associate that her ultimate ambition is to be president of the U.S.

The conversation apparently took place after Meghan began her romance with Prince Harry.

"Meghan was quite clear that she wanted to be president one day," the source claims.

Meghan has held the ambition since she was a little girl. In 2015, she reportedly told journalist Piers Morgan that she had not always sought showbusiness success.

"As a kid, I wanted to be either the president or a news broadcaster like you," she told Piers.

Speaking of Meghan's political ambitions, Sebastian Shakespeare wrote for Dailymail:

Meghan is still a U.S. citizen. She isn't a full-fledged British citizen yet because the process is expected to take three years. She is expected to retain her U.S. citizenship, as dual citizenship is permitted. Presidential candidates must be U.S. citizens.
