Richarlison has become a surprise summer target for Premier League giants Chelsea, as they look to make reinforcements in their attacking line next season.

And according to the Star, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid are keeping a close eye on the 21-year-old.

The former Watford striker joined the Merseysiders last summer in a deal worth £40million as he reunited with former boss Marco Silva.

Richarlison has scored ten Premier League goals in his debut season with the Toffees including a double against Wolves.

He has also earned a national call up and made his debut against the United States and four days later, scoring his first international goal for Brazil against El Salvador.

But he has been dipped in form in recent weeks with Marco Silva dropping him to the bench against Manchester City in midweek.

Richarlison returned to Silva's starting XI against his former club Watford but was substituted in the 66th minute after failing to impress.

Reports claim the Merseyside club are still pleased with him despite his below par performances and are getting ready for a potential transfer in the summer.

Silva's job is currently under threat following poor string of results and Richarlison could be tempted to leave if the Portuguese manager is sacked.

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has played the France international outside his favourite defensive midfield position into a more deeper role going forward.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.

TYPES OF DRAMA II

Comedy: We use the words 'comedy' and comic to describe something that is funny in our everyday lives. These include a joke or a fantastic story that is full of nonsense, or an absurd appearance that makes us giggle, smile or laugh. Comedy is not inherent in things or people but the way things/people are perceived. Comedy is a deliberate presentation of events/experiences drawn from real life but not the same with real life. We should therefore not expect dramatic comedy to be the same as real life. Generally, the plays have good endings or resolutions, so when a play ends happily, we refer to it as comedy. In most comedies, the principal characters begin in a state of opposition either to one another or to their world or both. By the end of the play their opposition .is replaced by harmony. Aristotle in-.his “Poetics” insisted that in tragedy men are shown “better than they are”, while in comedy “worse than they are”. For him it is an artistic imitation of men of inferi...
