Rihanna, who has lived in London for the past three years, can point her success to the Fenty Beauty cosmetics brand, with her 15 percent stake being valued at £351 million.
Robert Watts, who compiles the annual list, explained: “She somewhat caught us by surprise. Very few people knew she was living in the UK until last summer. Now she’s well placed to be the first musician to reach billionaire status in the UK.”
2. Buhari extends gradual ease of lockdown by two weeks
The Federal Government, on Monday, said the recent order of the President, Muhammadu Buhari, on the gradual ease of the lockdown will remain in force for another two weeks. The Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, disclosed this at the daily briefing of the task force in Abuja.
The President had on April 27, announced a “phased and gradual easing” of the lockdown in the Federal Capital Territory, Lagos and Ogun states, while declaring a nationwide curfew with effect from May 4. He also ordered a ban on all inter-state movements.
Mustapha, who is also the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, said in spite of the modest progress made, Nigeria was not yet ready for full opening of the economy “and tough decisions have to be taken for the good of the greater majority.”
3. Scandal-hit Lesotho Prime Minister to step down
Lesotho’s Prime Minister, Thomas Thabane, has announced that he will step down, ending months of political uncertainty in the kingdom. However, he did not say when exactly he would quit.
Mr. Thabane has resisted pressure to resign following allegations that he colluded to murder his estranged wife, Lipolelo Thabane, in 2017. The 80-year-old’s current wife, with whom he was living at the time of the murder, was charged in connection with the killing in February.
Mr. Thabane had previously said that he would be stepping down in July because of his age. Both he and his current wife have denied any involvement in Lipolelo Thabane’s killing. News about Rihanna
