- The Lilywhites remain third on the standings with 60 points

- Sanchez, Eriksem and Heung-min netted a goal apiece during the Sunday clash

Premier League campaigners, Tottenham Hotspurs, on Sunday afternoon, February 10, continued with their impressive run in the EPL after stunning Leicester City 3-1 at Wembley Stadium.

Davinson Sanchez opened the scoring for the hosts in the 33rd minute, breaking the deadlock after Spurs dominating the opening exchanges of the encounter.

The two sides finished the first half with Spurs the better side, with Leicester emerging a little unlucky a few times.

In the 59th minute, the Foxes nearly pulled one back via Jamie Vardy from the spot, but the Englishman's penalty shot was cleverly saved by Hugo Lloris who was between the sticks for Spurs.

Five minutes after Vardy's missed penalty Christian Eriksen doubled Spurs' lead, cutting inside before waving a powerful shot with his right foot to make it 2-0.

Vardy finally made it 2-1 in the 76th minute, sliding home from close range to give the away fans a glimpse of hope of restoring parity.

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. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...

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...
