My late father-in-law was an Oba, so I have enormous respect for that stool. But I must say that this Oba was not selected by the gods but by men. That is why he talks like a commoner, definitely not like an Oba!

More than 1bn people around the world are obese. That means there should be extraordinary demand for drugs to cure or mitigate the condition.

But these drugs promise to do more than boost drug companies’ profits. How will they reshape the economy? Hosts: Alice Fulwood, Mike Bird and Tom Lee-Devlin.
