Obama regains top spot in Forbes most powerful list

WASHINGTON — US President Barack Obama has regained the top spot in Forbes magazine's list of the world's most powerful people, edging out Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and last year's winner, Chinese President Hu Jintao, who slipped down to third.
Obama, who topped the list in 2009 only to be dethroned by Hu in 2010, has had a difficult year at home as the American economy struggles to emerge from a crippling recession, but he did enjoy a number of foreign policy successes.
"Sure, his jobs bill was gutted, his debt-ceiling negotiating was derided and his popularity has plummeted, endangering his reelection, but Obama regains his position as the most powerful person on the planet this year," Forbes said.
"Why? Despite faddish American declinism, the US remains, indisputably, the most powerful nation in the world, with the largest, most innovative economy and the deadliest military.
"Plus, Obama's only legitimate rival for the title, last year's number one, Chinese President Hu Jintao, is diminishing in influence as he gives up political office."
Forbes lists Obama's 2011 highlight as a Navy SEAL raid the president ordered inside Pakistan that killed the world's most wanted man, Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
"In second place is Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who is poised to regain the Russian presidency this year from his loyal underling President Dmitry Medvedev," Forbes said.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel was ranked fourth, followed by Microsoft chairman and philanthropist Bill Gates, Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, Pope Benedict XVI, US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron nailed down the number 10 spot, followed by Indian National Congress President Sonia Gandhi, the European Central Bank's Italian president, Mario Draghi, and President Nicolas Sarkozy of France.

‘Indecisions’ By Tehila

Everyday a star is born (word to Jay Z). Right now in Nigeria, there’s a new act emerging on the scene by the day ready to knock shoulders anybody
R&B newbie Tehila (real name Ayomikun Onofowokan) recently joined the list. Fresh out of secondary school, the 17-year-old is worthy of recognition based with the release of her singles.
While ‘Indecisions’ shows great promise for Tehila where she sounds way older than herself, ‘Gotta Go’ which features Miss Boss does the direct opposite.
If the younger singer keeps the heat she has debuted with, we will definitely be seeing here around for a long while. Lovely attempt.
