Nigerian drug dealer jailed in London for possession of 79 wraps of cocaine and heroin
Lekan Awosika, 25, of Central Park Road, East Ham, was sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court on November 27, 2015 after he was found guilty of possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and heroin.

Magufuli style earns international praise
John Magufuli
DAR ES SALAAM (Athuman Mtulya, The Citizen) — In mid-July when Tanzania’s ruling party CCM picked Dr John Pombe Magufuli as its flag bearer for presidential race he was fairly unpopular to the outside world, but today he stands as the most discussed president, not only in Africa, but around the world.
Only three weeks in office Dr Magufuli’s work for all good reasons has been capturing headlines in major newspapers from East Africa to as far as Australia. This is in addition to hilarious twitter hashtag (#WhatWouldMagufuliDo) which has taken the social media by a storm.
What made Dr Magufuli famous out there are the very same things that caught the Tanzanian population by surprise. In a continent where, in general, corruption and embezzlement of public funds are a way of life for African leaders, Dr Magufuli’s rigorous and prompt austerity measures have been hailed as very impressive. He has basically done what many people thought to be impossible things to be done by an African leader. A famous columnist, Mr Charles Onyango-Obbo, has branded Dr Magufuli as UnAfrican.
His cost-cutting measures among others included the scrapping of Independence Day celebrations which is annually held on December 9, and directed that the money set for the usually colourful event to be spent on expansion of a road between Mwenge and Morocco. He also ordered that the day should be spent by all Tanzanians in a clean-up campaign to combat cholera outbreak, which in the last three months has claimed the lives of 60 people. According to WHO, in October alone, the water borne recorded more than 5,000 cases.
“It is so shameful that we are spending huge amounts of money to celebrate 54 years of independence when our people are dying of cholera,” remarked Dr Magufuli.
