It's very surprising how some things happen. In October 2015, to virtually everyone’s surprise, John Pombe Magufuli, a less-than-glamorous cabinet minister who had done two stints as public works minister, became president of Tanzania. Isn't that amazing? Heck, best recognize.

Magufuli has been identified as a radical and he is not a fan of ridicule. But did you know that he only eats food cooked exclusively by his wife? According to The Financial Times newspaper, this is just but a way of making sure that "his many enemies" don't kill him through food poisoning.

But the paper hasn't disclosed how they got that unconfirmed speculation.
