Edinburgh got the Pro12 season off to a winning start with victory over Leinster at Meggetland.

It was a game of missed penalties, with Nathan Fowles and Jack Cuthbert missing as many as they scored for the hosts, and Isa Nacewa also passing up opportunities for the Irish.
Ultimately, it was two tries from Damien Hoyland that made the difference for the hosts.
The 21-year-old finished off two sweeping moves on either wing.
It was Leinster who took the game to the Scots and reached the line early on, but gave away a penalty at the vital moment.
They kept threatening, though, and Nacewa put a penalty through the posts after 16 minutes.
The Kiwi could have doubled the lead six minutes later, but he put a long penalty wide.
That gave Fowles the opportunity to level the scores, which he took, though he himself would miss a similar effort shortly after.
Edinburgh lost Chris Dean to a head knock, but it did not disrupt the flow of pressure the home side were starting to exert. A neat move almost brought a try before the break when Mike McCarthy eventually dislodged the ball from James Johnstone's grasp.
Neither side appeared to want to take control of the game. A penalty conceded by Dan Leavy right in front of the posts gave Fowles the chance to put his side ahead, but he sliced it wide to the right.
Roddy Grant thought he had scored a try on 51 minutes, but it was rightly ruled as a knock on.
However, there was no doubt three minutes later when Hoyland found room on the left-hand side to squeeze in.
Nacewa put through the posts to close the gap, and after Cuthbert missed and John Andress conceded a penalty, the Kiwi had another chance but missed from distance.
Then it was the exact opposite at the other end, Cuthbert trying his luck from distance, and this time he was successful.
The game remained alive for both teams and with just over seven minutes left it remained finely balanced when Nacewa brought it back to just a two-point deficit.
But Leinster's Dominic Ryan was sin-binned, and Edinburgh made the extra man count when they stretched the visitors, with Hoyland finding a big gap on the right and racing over the line.
Cuthbert missed the conversation but it mattered little with the points safe.

Euro 2016 kicks off on Friday when hosts France face Group A opponents Romania at the Stade de France amid an unprecedented security operation.

France remains under a state of emergency after last November's attacks on Paris, when 130 people were killed.
More than 90,000 police, soldiers and private guards will be deployed at the tournament, with seven million fans expected to visit the 10 host venues.
The US and British governments have both warned fans they could be at risk.
But organisers Uefa and French authorities insist they have done everything possible to keep the 2.5 million spectators expected at the 51 matches safe.
Paris alone will have a security force of at least 13,000 to patrol two zones and two stadiums, with the country's state of emergency allowing police extra powers to conduct searches and put people under house arrest.
France coach Didier Deschamps, whose side were playing Germany in an international friendly when the Stade de France was targeted by suicide bombers, says November's attacks evoked "very strong emotions".
"We lived through some tragic moments," he said. "So it will remain with us, even if with time we can think about it a little less.
"Today to have zero risk doesn't exist, sadly, but we have to go forward and these Euros have to be a festival of football and the festival has to be as beautiful as possible."
Richard Walton, the Metropolitan Police's former head of counter-terrorism, said the threat to Euro 2016 is "more acute than for any other international sporting event in history".
With a reported 500,000 British fans among the seven million supporters in France, the British Foreign Office has warned that stadiums, fan zones and transport hubs are possible targets for attack.
Two English football fans were arrested after police used tear gas to disperse a brawl outside a pub in Marseille shortly before midnight on Thursday.
Police said one of the fans was arrested for assaulting a barman and the other for violent disorder, with one England supporter suffering a head injury after being hit across the face with a wooden chair.

England goalkeeper Joe Hart says players will adhere to the advice of security officials at the 24-team championship.
"We're a team of footballers, but we're a group," he said. "We work together with the security and press officers. Everyone's got their various jobs and I'm very confident on everyone completing them."
France's junior minister for sports, Thierry Braillard, said official fan zones are the only outdoor public spaces where screens will be installed, with bar and restaurant owners told not to host large outdoor TV broadcasts.
He added: "We can't accept unorganised gatherings because police forces don't have the means to secure them."
Paris is one of 10 host venues, with games also taking place in Bordeaux, Lens, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Saint-Denis, Saint-Etienne and Toulouse.
Jean-Christophe Bouvier, defence secretary for the Lille region, says 200 security staff will be inside the city's fan zone, with 3,400 police and military forces working each day and hundreds extra on call if needed.

President of the Lille region, Damien Castelain, said: "It's a very secure place in the fan zone.
"It's easier to secure one place like this one than have people going to several places where it would have been impossible to make people safe."
Mat Bastard, Lille's Euro 2016 ambassador, added: "If France win, it'll be so, so good, but my first victory is everything is well and everyone has fun."
Alongside the terror threat, French authorities have also been forced to deal with extreme weather conditions and protests over labour law reforms.
Strikes in Paris could cause problems for supporters heading to the 80,000-capacity national stadium on Friday.
The national SNCF rail company said that one of the two main overland train lines linking the Stade de France in the capital's northern suburbs to the city centre had two-thirds of its services wiped out because of strikes on Thursday, while six out of 10 were not running on the other.
The company is working on a fallback plan, while an underground Metro line to the stadium will have extra trains running.
President Francois Hollande said he would take "all necessary measures" to make sure transport strikes, due to roll into a 10th day on Friday, would not disrupt the tournament.
"Rest assured that public services will be provided and that the state will assume its full responsibilities," he said.
Strikes are planned from Saturday on the national air carrier, Air France, while piles of rubbish have also gone uncollected.

France captain Hugo Lloris said: "I hope it won't spoil the party because we have to show a great image of our country."
France's opener against Romania should avoid the bad weather that saw the River Seine burst its banks and rise to its highest level in more than 30 years.
England and Wales begin their campaigns further south on Saturday are also expected to avoid the worst of the thunderstorms.
Uefa says all 24 teams are in France, with Portugal - travelling in a plane bearing the name of legendary striker Eusebio - the last to arrive on Thursday.
Spain are hoping for a third successive title, but Germany are world champions and France were winners when they hosted the tournament in 1984.
Current national coach Deschamps captained Les Bleus to World Cup glory on home soil in 1998.
England are eyeing a first success at the ninth attempt, while Wales, Northern Ireland, Albania, Iceland and Slovakia all make their championship debut.


Israel's military says it has uncovered a scam by Hamas militants to spy on its soldiers by hacking their mobile phones after posing as women on social media.

Members of the Palestinian group found the soldiers online, then tried to strike up a friendship using the fake identities, an officer told reporters.
Dozens of soldiers were persuaded to install an application that controlled their phone cameras and microphones.
However, the officer said Hamas was not able to uncover any major secrets.
Most of the soldiers were low-ranking, he added, and the scammers were interested in information about Israeli army manoeuvres, forces and weaponry around the Hamas-dominated Gaza Strip.
The officer, whose name was not given, said the photos used in the scheme belonged to real women, whose pictures and personal details were stolen from their social media profiles.
Hamas 'seizes Israeli spy dolphin'
Hamas says Israel killed drone expert
A presentation he gave to reporters on Wednesday included some of the photos and flirtatious messages sent to the soldiers.
"Just a second, I'll send you a photo, my dear," wrote a scammer in one exchange.
"OK. Ha-ha," the soldier replied, before a photo of a blonde woman appeared.
The scammer then suggested they both download "a simple app that lets us have a video chat". In reality, it gave the scammer control of the soldier's smartphone.
The Israeli military's information security unit uncovered the scam after getting complaints from soldiers that suspicious women were getting them to download applications and then going silent.
"It had potential for great damage," the officer was quoted by the Associated Press as saying. "Until now, the damage was minimal. But we wanted to prevent it from happening."
Hamas has so far not commented on the allegations.


Former Manchester City goalkeeper Bert Trautmann, who died on Friday, is not just being mourned in England and Germany but also in Tanzania.

Trautman died in Spain on Friday at the age of 89. He was famous for playing on in the 1956 FA Cup final despite breaking his neck.
A Tanzania FA statement said he would be remembered for his work that set the foundation for the development of the sport in the country.
Trautmann arrived in the East African nation in 1974 as part of West Germany's sports assistance programme.
He reorganised the country's league and developed the skills of local coaches.
"The league system we have now is a brainchild of Trautmann," Atillion Tagalile, a former sports reporter, told BBC Sport.
Before Trautmann's arrival, Tanzania had a 20-team league played in a two-legged home and away knockout format.
However, he reduced the number of teams to 12 and introduced a league system of playing home and away.
In addition, the German held coaching clinics for local coaches and formed an association known as Tanzania Football Coaches Association (Tafca) to oversee skill development for the coaches.
"He conducted coaching courses throughout the country," said Simba SC coach Abdallah Kibaden.
"I attended one of his courses in Arusha in 1975 soon after retiring from the national team.
"Before his arrival, there was no training system for the coaches."
Trautmann also sent Tanzanian coaches to Cologne in Germany to acquire advanced coaching skills.
Joel Bendera, is one of the coaches who benefited from the scheme, he spend nine months in Germany along with two other Tanzanians.
When Bendera returned, he was appointed head coach of Tanzania's national team and guided their only ever Africa Cup of Nations finals in 1980.
Former international Kibaden believes that Trautmann also contributed to Tanzania's qualification through his youth development programme.
"He put emphasis on youth development as well, he toured the country in search of talents and we were able to get a strong team that went on to play the Nations Cup in Nigeria," added Kibaden.
Trautmann helped restructure the FA as well as designing an administrative procedure for the association.
"He reorganised our operation structure and also worked with administrators on football development," Said El Maamry, who was chairman of the Football Association of Tanzania (Fat) at the time, said.
"TFF has sent condolences to his family as well as the German and English FA's, and wished them to be strong in these difficult time," the statement added.


Athletes have been warned to prepapre for an updated list of banned substances coming into force in 2017.

Last year meldonium was added to the World Anti-Doping Agency prohibited substance list and several athletes later tested positive for the drug.
Tennis player Maria Sharapova is now serving a two-year ban.
"Athletes and their entourage have ample time to familiarise themselves with the list," Wada president Craig Reedie said.
"There can be no tolerance for people who intentionally break the rules."
The updated list comes into force on 1 January 2017.
It covers substances and methods banned in and out of competition, and which substances are banned in different sports.
Wada said in April that scientists were unsure how long meldonium stayed in an athlete's system.
It also suggested athletes who tested positive before 1 March could avoid bans, provided they had stopped taking it before 1 January.
Sharapova, 29, tested positive for meldonium at the Australian Open in January 2016 and an out-of-competition test on 2 February.
The Russian said she had been taking meldonium since 2006 for health reasons and was unaware it had been added to the banned list as she knew it only by the name mildronate.


An independent review has criticised the board set up to oversee the safeguarding of children in Northern Ireland for failing to deliver its main statutory responsibility.

The Safeguarding Board for Northern Ireland (SBNI) was tasked with improving protection for children.
But the authors of a report on its work raised concerns that it spent too much time on the "wrong issues".
They added that "tensions" existed among senior board members.
Alarmingly, among the 11 recommendations from the review panel is a warning that all agencies must ensure the board is notified of cases where a child has died or been significantly harmed.
That suggests vital information was not being shared in some fatal cases.
While the report said fault does not lie with those working directly with vulnerable children, the finger of blame is being pointed to those at the top of the board.
The review said concerns were being raised by many involved in social work but no-one appeared to be listening.
There appeared to be some tensions at the top of the strategic board, but children were still being protected, said the chairwoman of the Northern Ireland Association of Social Workers.
"On the ground, multi-agency work in between police, medics, social workers, education works well," Marcellla Leonard told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme.
The review was led by Prof Alexis Jay OBE, who led the Rotherham abuse inquiry.
She was appointed as the new chairwoman of the inquiry into child sex abuse in England and Wales on Friday.
Although the review of the SBNI was completed in February 2016, it was only published on the Department of Health's website last week.
Several health professionals involved in the panel and affected by its workings only became aware of the review's recommendations when they were contacted by the BBC.
The SBNI was established in 2012.
At the time, then Health Minister Edwin Poots said the previous child protection committees had been criticised for lacking focus, a strategic perspective and a legislative basis.
But according to this review, little has changed in spite of the board having the protection of children as its core purpose.
"Perhaps the most troubling concern was the lack of structured focus on the multi-agency aspects of child protection," Prof Jay said in her review.
"The board now needs to restate its core role of ensuring that work to protect children is properly coordinated."
The review also covers Operation Owl, which related to 22 child sexual exploitation cases identified by police in 2013.
These cases related to children and young people who had gone missing from care in Northern Ireland and who the police said "may be at risk".
At the time, the SBNI conducted its own review and criticised the authorities for not doing enough.
The board has said the sheer scale of Operation Owl distracted them from their normal business.
But Prof Jay said it was not the review that distracted the board, but the way in which its members chose to handle it.
Throughout the 59-page report, a picture emerges of a disjointed organisation that was experiencing serious governance issues from the top.
That, according to the report, was affecting how health professionals were attempting to deliver care to vulnerable children on the ground.
In 2014, after two years of operating, cracks had started to appear.
After being contacted by members of the panel who had concerns about how the board was operating, the BBC approached the board seeking clarification.
But the questions were dismissed and the BBC was told the board was operating effectively.
The review said all was not well within months of the board coming together, and refers to "low staff morale" and "anxiety" amongst staff.
The SBNI is the responsibility of the Department of Health.
In a statement, it said Health Minister Michelle O'Neill has accepted Prof Jay's recommendations and has written to the board's chair requesting they are implemented without delay.


Rousing tributes have been paid to boxing legend Muhammad Ali at a memorial service in his home city of Louisville, Kentucky.

Muslim, Christian, Jewish and other speakers spoke of his fight for civil rights, while a message from President Barack Obama praised his originality.
The interfaith event took place hours after thousands said farewell to his coffin passing through city streets.
Ali was buried in a private ceremony attended by friends and family.
The ex-heavyweight champion and rights activist died last Friday aged 74.
The service, attended by dignitaries and by several thousand people who acquired free tickets, was held at the KFC Yum! Centre.
After a Koran reading, local Protestant minister Kevin Cosby set the tone of the event, saying that Muhammad Ali had "infused in Africans a sense of somebodiness".
"Before James Brown said 'I'm black and I'm proud', Muhammad Ali said 'I'm black and I'm pretty'," he said.
Rabbi Michael Lerner, editor of a progressive Jewish magazine, used his speech to launch a blistering attack on injustice against black people and Muslims.
"The way to honour Muhammad Ali is to be Muhammad Ali today," he said. "Speak out and refuse to follow the path of conformity."
Later Valerie Jarrett, an aide to President Obama who knew the boxer personally, read a letter from the president describing Ali as "bigger, brighter and more influential than just about anyone in his era".
"You couldn't have made him up, and yes, he was pretty too," Mr Obama wrote.
"Muhammad Ali was America. Muhammad Ali will always be America. What a man."
The president was not there, as he was attending his eldest daughter Malia's graduation.
Former US President Bill Clinton described Ali as "a free man of faith".
He said: "I think he decided very young to write his own life story. I think he decided that he would not be ever disempowered. Not his race, not his place, not the expectations of others whether positive or negative would strip from him the power to write his own story."
Ali's wife Lonnie paid tribute to her husband. She told the crowd: "If Muhammad didn't like the rules, he rewrote them. His religion, his beliefs, his name were his to fashion, no matter what the cost.
"Muhammad wants young people of every background to see his life as proof that adversity can make you stronger. It cannot rob you of the power to dream, and to reach your dreams."

The comedian Billy Crystal delivered a eulogy peppered with jokes, laughing at the length of the service and saying that his beard had grown since it started.
Then he said that "35 years after he stopped fighting, [Ali was] still the champion of the world".
He said: "He was a tremendous bolt of lightning created by Mother Nature. Muhammad Ali struck us in the middle of America's darkest night and his intense light shone on America and we were able to see clearly."
Among those attending the service is King Abdullah of Jordan.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attended Thursday's prayer ceremony and had been due at the service, but cut short his visit to the US.
The reasons for his departure are not clear, though there are reports of differences with the funeral's organisers.
The motorcade procession began at about 10:35 local time (14:35 GMT), more than an hour behind schedule, and took the coffin past Ali's childhood home, the Ali Center, the Center for African American Heritage and then down Muhammad Ali Boulevard.
Onlookers lining the roadside waved, took photos and chanted "Ali, Ali" as a cortege led by the hearse carrying his coffin drove through the downtown area.

The cortege then brought the coffin to the Cave Hill cemetery, where Muhammad Ali was buried in a  private ceremony. Actor Will Smith and ex-boxer Lennox Lewis were among the pallbearers.

In 1964, Ali famously converted to Islam, changing his name from Cassius Clay, which he called his "slave name".
He first joined the Nation of Islam, a controversial black separatist movement, before later converting to mainstream Islam.
In his boxing career, he fought a total of 61 times as a professional, losing five times and winning 37 bouts by knockout.
Soon after he retired, rumours began to circulate about the state of his health.
Parkinson's Syndrome was eventually diagnosed but Ali continued to make public appearances, receiving warm welcomes wherever he travelled.
He lit the Olympic cauldron at the 1996 Games in Atlanta and carried the Olympic flag at the opening ceremony for the 2012 Games in London.
He was crowned "Sportsman of the Century" by Sports Illustrated and "Sports Personality of the Century" by the BBC.


Google has been fined $25,000 (£15,700) after US authorities found the internet giant stalled an investigation into its Street View mapping feature.

The Federal Communications Commission said Google "deliberately impeded and delayed"
 the investigation for months.
The online search leader did not respond to requests for information and documents, according to the agency.
The inquiry began in 2010 after Google said Street View cars had inadvertently logged unsecured Wi-Fi data.
Information gathered by passing Street View cars in more than 30 countries included passwords, emails and other data that was being transmitted wirelessly over unprotected routers, according to the FCC.
The FCC said it still had "significant factual questions" about the Street View project that have not yet been been answered.
The agency has subpoenaed a Google engineer who developed the software code that the company used to collect the data.
But the unnamed engineer invoked his Fifth Amendment rights against incriminating himself, so that he would not have to testify.
The California-based internet giant disputed the FCC findings.
"As the FCC notes in their report, we provided all the materials the regulators felt they needed to conclude their investigation and we were not found to have violated any laws," the company said in a prepared statement.


An inquest into the death of a victim of serial killer Stephen Port was told the case was not linked to the first man he murdered, transcripts show.

Port, 41, was given a whole life prison term for the murders of four men.
At Gabriel Kovari's inquest in June 2015, police were asked if there could be a connection to the death of Anthony Walgate the year before. A detective said there was "no link apparent".
Port went on to murder his fourth victim in September that year.
Coroner Nadia Persaud recorded an open verdict at Mr Kovari's inquest, saying there was no "reliable evidence" on which to base her findings.
The police watchdog is investigating how the serial killer case was handled.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is examining the initial police response to the deaths of the four men in London.
A total of 17 Metropolitan Police officers are under formal investigation.
Mr Kovari, 22, was found dead in an east London churchyard on 28 August 2014, three weeks before the body of another Port victim - 21-year-old Daniel Whitworth - was found in the same spot.
A fake suicide note found in Mr Whitworth's hand - which had in fact been written by Stephen Port - said he had accidentally killed his lover Mr Kovari and was taking his own life as a result.
Police accepted the note at face value and treated the deaths as non-suspicious, despite concerns being raised by people close to both men.
Earlier that year, in June, the body of 23-year-old Anthony Walgate had been found 500m away outside Port's flat, but local police did not conduct a murder inquiry despite discovering Port had lied about the circumstances of the death.
The three men had all died from fatal overdoses of date-rape drug GHB.
Transcripts of Mr Kovari's inquest obtained by the BBC reveal that his former flatmate, John Pape, raised concerns about a possible link between the death of his friend and that of Mr Walgate.
A detective who gave evidence at the inquest was asked by Mr Pape about the "unexplained death, quite close to the cemetery".
He added: "Was it even considered that there could be any link with that?"
Det Insp Rolf Schamberger replied: "I wasn't involved in that investigation, but I'm aware that an incident took place nearby not long beforehand, and that there was consideration given to there being a link.
"But to the best of my knowledge, no link was ever established.  And certainly, in my dealings with the investigation later on, there was no link apparent to the other case at all."
The detective told the inquest that police had been unable to place Mr Whitworth and Mr Kovari together, which might have been expected had claims of a relationship made in the fake suicide note been true.
However, Det Insp Schamberger said police had done "work around social media" to check whether the Gabriel mentioned in the note was actually Mr Kovari.
"We believe it was the same person," he told the coroner.
But when Scotland Yard detectives later conducted the extensive murder inquiry they found no links between the two men.
Port had falsely linked them together in order to cover up his crimes.
The transcripts show Coroner Nadia Persaud questioned Det Insp Schamberger about the police response to Mr Kovari's death, including whether his mobile phone had been examined.
Det Insp Schamberger replied "as far as I know it was", but then said he was unsure.
The coroner asked: "Do you recall whether Gabriel's phone was checked or not?"
He responded: "I can't say. It's something which I would have requested, but I can't confirm that right now, I'm afraid."
In fact, like all Port's victims, Mr Kovari's phone has never been recovered.
The coroner asked whether the officer had been "able to examine the clothes that Gabriel was wearing" for DNA.
Det Insp Schamberger said Mr Kovari's clothing "had been disposed of".
But, when sunglasses found on Mr Kovari's body were tested by the later murder inquiry, Stephen Port's DNA was found on them.
After Anthony Walgate's death local police had actually taken samples of Port's DNA, meaning he could have been identified.
Coroner Nadia Persaud concluded the inquest, held at Walthamstow Coroner's Court, by saying she did not "have sufficient evidence to reach any conclusion other than an open conclusion".
In September 2015 - four months after the inquest - Stephen Port killed 25-year-old Jack Taylor.
He was charged with four murders the following month after the case was passed from local police to specialist homicide detectives.
Commander Stuart Cundy, from the Met's Specialist Crime and Operations command, has said that evidence heard at Stephen Port's trial "did identify potentially missed opportunities to catch Port sooner".
"If the IPCC inquiry highlights further areas of learning for the Met where we could have acted better we will of course take those lessons on board and respond accordingly.
"If the investigation finds evidence of potential misconduct against any officer that will also be carefully considered."


An 11-year-old girl left with a life-changing brain injury after she was hit by a car outside her school dreamed of becoming a surgeon, it has emerged.

The girl was among eight children hurt in the crash outside Belvedere Academy in Liverpool in February.
Norma Stokes, 80, was banned from driving for life and given a two-year suspended prison sentence after she admitted causing the crash.
The girl's family said their daughter would "never be the same person again".
In a statement released through solicitors, they added: "It is like she died. Our brilliant daughter, who wanted to be a surgeon, has been cheated. We all have."
The girl, who was the most badly injured of the group, has developed epilepsy and diabetes, and may need further surgery for injuries to her right arm and leg.
"Her dreams ended at the very time that they were beginning to take shape," her family continued.
"Before this she was a fearless and remarkable girl, and this has been snatched away in the blink of an eye."
The family of another girl, aged 13, left with extensive fractures to both arms. also spoke of their ordeal.
"Our life has changed and still months on, she has missed three months of her education and can still only manage half a day in school, her scars are more than physical," they said.
Liverpool Crown Court heard the crash happened during a busy Friday afternoon when students were leaving girls' school.
Stokes, of Booker Avenue, Allerton, drove out of Peel Street onto Belvidere Road when heavy traffic meant it was not safe to pull out.
She hit bollards in the middle of the carriageway before veering across the road, mounting the pavement, and hitting the girls.
Ms Stokes told police that, at the time of the crash, the car was out of control and that although she was trying to brake she was actually pressing on the accelerator.


Southend United say striker Nile Ranger is facing suspension by the League One club after a "breach of discipline".

On Wednesday, the 25-year-old admitted an online banking fraud, in which a woman lost more than £2,000.
However BBC Essex understands that is unrelated to his situation at Southend.
"We will not allow any matter to bring the club into disrepute. We will take a balanced view and come to a decision once all of the information is understood," chairman Ron Martin said.
"I have supported Nile, along with (manager) Phil Brown and the other players," Martin added. "We all would like to see him succeed on and off the pitch, both as player and person."
Southend say they will consider their options, but claim they are unlikely to release any more information until next week.


The Budget was "one of the greatest" and will make sure that "people who have actually tried hard will get rewarded", Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith has said.

The government plans to allow people to spend their pension pots how they wish rather than having to buy an annuity, which guarantees an annual income.
Mr Duncan Smith told Sky News they would not "blow" their savings.
Labour has said it will support the coalition's plans.
But it has asked for more detail on what they will mean "in practice".
In Wednesday's Budget, Chancellor George Osborne said new rules were due to come in from April 2015, subject to consultation, with some existing regulations to be relaxed from next Thursday.
It is expected that anyone over the age of 55 who belongs to a defined contribution scheme, such as a private pension scheme (as opposed to a final-salary scheme) will be able to take out their savings as a lump sum to spend or invest as they wish.
Mr Duncan Smith told Sky News: "I think this Budget will go down as one of the greatest Budgets, signalling a new departure for Great Britain's economy and for people who have actually tried hard get rewarded."
In the week, Liberal Democrat pensions minister Steve Webb said it was people's "choice" how they spent their pension pot, when asked if the money could go on a Lamborghini sports car.
Mr Webb told BBC One's Sunday Politics he was "very much in listening mode" over the way in which the changes would be implemented.
Mr Duncan Smith agreed that those over 55 would get more financial freedom, but added: "What they will actually do is to go out and find some (investment) vehicle to give them better returns than their annuities."
Asked whether many of those affected would put their money into buy-to-let properties, possibly creating a price bubble, he replied: "I'm not going to speculate on what somebody approaching retirement and not earning much in annuities will do."
The state, rather than savers, had "historically been the most profligate" user of money, Mr Duncan Smith said.
Speaking on BBC One's Andrew Marr Show, Liberal Democrat Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander said: "I think a lot of people will [still] want to buy annuities.
"There's still a very strong market there... This will also help to make the annuity market more competitive."
For Labour, shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves said on Friday that the annuities and pension market currently did "not work well for people who have saved all their lives".
She told BBC Radio 4's Any Questions: "I support reform and I support what has been announced this week, although we need to see a lot more detail about what that will mean in practice."
Speaking on the Andrew Marr Show, shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna said: "We need to see the bill and I'm not going to sign a blank sheet of paper."


Families are being forced out of their local areas as more buyers seek second homes in rural locations, the National Housing Federation has warned.

The federation said the demand for holiday homes in some English countryside districts was pricing locals out of the market.
It said new research showed Uttlesford in Essex saw the biggest jump in second homes between 2004 and 2009.
North Kesteven in Lincolnshire had the second biggest increase.
In Uttlesford, the number of registered second homes rose from 10 in 2004 to 214 in 2009.
North Kesteven saw a more subdued rise, with the number of second homes increasing from 128 in 2004 to 242 in 2009.
Aylesbury Vale in Buckinghamshire took the third place on the list with an increase from 217 holiday homes to 410 during the same period.
Other regions in the list's top 10 include Rushcliffe in Nottinghamshire, North Lincolnshire, north-east Derbyshire, Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, South Kesteven in Lincolnshire, Braintree in Essex and North Somerset.
The federation, which represents 1,200 housing authorities in England, said buyers were no longer just interested in the traditional second home hotspots of Cornwall, Devon and north Norfolk.
In a statement, its chief executive David Orr said: "Some areas of the English countryside have seen a huge rise in the number of properties being bought as holiday homes, which has pushed up prices beyond the level most local people can afford.
"If families and young people are priced out of their local villages it can have a hugely damaging impact on community life, with village shops, schools and pubs closing in alarming numbers as a result."
The research also suggested that the cost of an average home had risen in the last decade - from £175,278 in 2000 to £303,923 in 2009.
It also suggested there had been a rise in prices in the same period in North Kesteven - from £74,748 to £159,603.
The other areas are also suggested to have more than doubled in price in that time.
The organisation called for local authorities in such areas to create action plans which would tackle the situation.


An A-level physics paper, which has prompted a flurry of complaints on social media, had a mistake in a question, admits the AQA exam board.

Four schools have already been in touch with the exam board about the A-level paper taken on Thursday.
A statement from the exam board says examiners will take the mistake into account when marking.
Students on social networking websites had complained that the question had been impossible to answer.
The AQA exam board denied this, saying that the question could still be answered, despite the error in how the question was presented.
"At this stage it looks as though most students haven't been affected by this, but we're letting our examiners know and will make sure it doesn't affect students' grades," said an AQA spokeswoman.
"We meant to ask students to compare a 150 kΩ resistor - not a 150 Ω resistor as it said in the paper - to a 300 kΩ resistor. The question can still be answered."
The exam board believed that students in about 1,200 schools and colleges would have been taking the paper.
Daniel Ohrenstein, a pupil in north London who was taking the exam, said a few lost marks could be the difference in missing out on a university place.
He said that it added to the stress of taking A-levels.
Pupils facing a question which seemed wrong would still "give the benefit of the doubt" to examiners and assume it was correct, he said.
That meant that students could waste time trying to make sense of a rogue question.


Millwall manager Neil Harris has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association.

The charge relates to an incident in the 86th minute of last Sunday's 2-1 victory at Gillingham, where it is alleged Harris' language and/or behaviour was improper.
Lions full-back Mahlon Romeo was sent off for a foul on Brennan Dickenson, and has subsequently been banned.
Harris, 38, has until 18:00 BST on Monday, 16 May to respond.
Millwall travel to Bradford in the first leg of their League One play-off semi-final tie on Sunday, with the return leg at The Den on Friday, 20 May.


Newcastle United defender Paul Dummett hopes he has done enough to earn a place in Wales' Euro 2016 squad.

Dummett debuted against the Netherlands in June 2014 but a series of injuries have restricted him to two caps.
The 24-year-old, who can play centre-half or left-back, will discover on Tuesday if he has been included in Chris Coleman's 23-man squad.
"Two or three years I've been involved but never really kicked on," Dummett said.
"I've had so many injuries with the club but now I've been fit for a while and hopefully I can stay injury-free and be involved in the competition.
"The manager has probably been watching throughout the season on every player in the squad and will have an idea.
"It's something a lot of players don't have the opportunity of doing. I'm focused on getting picked for this squad."
Dummett made 23 appearances for Newcastle during a 2015-16 Premier League season which ended in relegation for the Magpies.
"It was very disappointing but to come away to a different environment with a different group of players is a good experience," Dummett added.
"We've got a good squad of players who work hard for each and you've seen that throughout the qualifiers."
Dummett was away with Wales at a pre-Euro 2016 training camp in Portugal last week when Newcastle confirmed Rafael Benitez would continue as manager.
The 56-year-old former Liverpool and Real Madrid boss was appointed in March following Steve McClaren's sacking but failed to keep the Magpies in the top flight.
"It's a massive boost for us to have a manager like him to be in charge," Dummett said.
"The experience he has can only be a massive help for everyone at Newcastle and for me getting better as a player learning from his experience."


Worcester Warriors director of rugby Gary Gold has extended his contract with the Premiership club for another year after saving them from relegation.

The 49-year-old, who also has Premiership coaching experience with London Irish, Newcastle and Bath, arrived in January on an interim basis.
Since then, Worcester have won four of his eight games in charge.
"I've been blown away by this group of players and thoroughly enjoyed coming to work," the South African said.
"I wanted to make sure we were safe in the Premiership before I sat down to discuss it with my family. I've got two young kids who haven't really had dad at home for a length of time.
"But I love what I do. I'm very lucky to work in the environment that I do and I have agreed to stay on for another year."
Warriors' Easter Saturday home win over Bath, coupled with Bristol's home defeat by Wasps, was enough to send their West Country rivals down instead.
Gold, who has already signed 38-year-old former Ireland and British & Irish Lions international lock forward and Warriors captain Donncha O'Callaghan on a new deal at Sixways, is expected to supplement his coaching staff.
That followed the key signing of stand-off Ryan Mills on a new contract to maintain his rapport with South African international scrum-half Francois Hougaard, who signed an extended deal last season.
till  will follow suit.
Gold says that his decision to stay on for another year was not part of his original plan when he arrived in January.
"It was never my intention to stay," he told BBC Hereford & Worcester. "This was never a long-term gig.
"I was just going to come in, in a consultant capacity and work with Carl Hogg and the coaches but it's just gone so well here. I didn't expect come in to a club languishing in the doldrums and enjoy it as much as I have.
"I want to build on the work we've done as a group. On paper next season, we'd still be one of the favourites to go down and that's something we need to work at.
"I know the big thing was staying up this season, but 11th is still a bit embarrassing and, with an atrocious away record too.
"Worcester have never been a top six side and I don't believe we're in a position to win this competition, but we want to compete and I do believe we can improve vastly."


Jonathan Forte's last-gasp goal gave 10-man Notts County their first league win since October as Kevin Nolan's rescue mission sparked into life with a 2-1 win over Crawley.

Forte struck in the last minute when captain Michael O'Connor picked out Haydn Hollis whose shot was saved by Glenn Morris.
But Forte was on hand to slam in the rebound to send Meadow Lane into meltdown, with Nolan's side having looked odds-on to secure a point.
They had originally taken the lead when Thierry Audel forced the ball over the line when Rob Milsom's corner had caused pandemonium inside the box.
It was no more than Notts deserved after creating numerous chances, with Forte spurning two in the first half.
But Crawley hit back in the final 10 minutes when James Collins had space outside the box and cannoned in a terrific effort off the underside of the crossbar from 25 yards.
That had seemingly curtailed the Magpies' hopes of victory until Forte struck, which left boss Nolan punching the air at the final whistle.

Manchester United's new manager David Moyes has started his reign by insisting unsettled striker Wayne Rooney will not be sold.

Media playback is not supported on this device
On Friday, Moyes made his first public appearance since succeeding the retired Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford - and Rooney's future was at the top of the agenda.
"Wayne Rooney is not for sale. He's a Manchester United player and will remain a Manchester United player. Wayne won't be sold by Manchester United," the former Everton boss said.
Moyes, however, refused to say whether Rooney had expressed a desire to stay.
Ferguson said the 27-year-old striker had asked to leave at the end of last season - although Rooney is believed to contest Ferguson's suggestion he wanted to quit United.
Moyes explained he had spoken to Rooney, who has been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea, "several times" since being appointed.
"Whatever happened before has gone now," insisted the new United boss.
"We are working together now. I have seen a glint in his eye, he looks happy and looks as if he is going to knuckle down."
Moyes said Rooney's meeting with Ferguson "was a private meeting between two people".
"I was not privy to it," added Moyes. "I don't know what those two gentlemen said. That conversation was private and as far as I am concerned I'm looking forward to working with Wayne."
And Moyes declared all his efforts were now going into improving Rooney's condition and form for club and country, with the player hoping to figure for England at the World Cup in Brazil next summer.
The Scot added: "We are working and trying everything to get Wayne to the level where everybody can benefit. I can tell you categorically Wayne is training fantastically well."
United captain Nemanja Vidic, sitting alongside Moyes at his introductory news conference, added: "Wayne has trained really well and is in the best shape for the last five years."
Moyes refused to be drawn on transfer moves for United old boy Cristiano Ronaldo and Everton's Leighton Baines after having a £12m bid rejected for the England left-back.
Moyes said: "I will never speak about players at other clubs. I think it's wrong. But this club is always interested in the best players."


BHP Billiton and Vale have agreed a deadline of 30 June to consolidate and settle claims resulting from Brazil's Samarco dam disaster in 2015.

The biggest is a $47.5bn (Â£38.6bn) civil claim brought by Brazil's federal prosecutors, the companies said.
Under the deal, the firms will provide an initial $681m in compensation.
The collapse of the dam, containing waste from an iron ore mine, killed 19 people and created a river of millions of tonnes of toxic waste.
It killed 19 people and is Brazil's worst ever mine disaster.
The agreement, between the companies and prosecutors, will see experts appointed to advise the federal prosecutors on the impacts of the dam disaster and any changes that might be needed to social and environmental remediation programs agreed last May.
It does not cover the potential size of the final liabilities to be agreed by the end of June.
BHP spokesman, Paul Hitchins, said the settlement simplified matters: "This spells out how and when we are going to settle this with the prosecutors.
"Up until this time we had all these different courts hearing the case. This consolidates all that."
The companies said they still had not agreed how and when the mine would be able to re-open.
They said any restart was subject to separate negotiations and would only happen once it was safe to do so and economically viable.
It also needed the support of the devastated local community.


The South Korean government has signed a deal with a Chinese consortium to raise the wreckage of the Sewol ferry.

The ferry sank in April 2014, killing 304 people - most of them children.
The remains of nine people are yet to be recovered and their families campaigned for the ship to be raised.
The captain and several crew members have been given jail terms for failing to protect passengers, as was the captain of a coast guard vessel involved in the botched rescue effort.
The passengers included 325 pupils aged between 16 and 17 from who were on a school trip to the holiday island of Jeju when the ferry sank.
The wreckage will be salvaged by a consortium led by Shanghai Salvage. It will be raised by next July at a cost of $73m (Â£47m).
To recover any bodies remaining within the ship, engineers will enclose the wreck in two sets of netting so that the complete contents will rise with the vessel, the BBC's Evans in Seoul reports.
It will be the grisliest of tasks but also one of much political sensitivity, he adds.
In April South Korean President Park Guen-hye promised the vessel would be raised at the earliest opportunity amid intense public criticism of the government.
Investigators have said the ferry sank after an inexperienced crew member made too fast a turn. The combination of an illegal redesign and overload meant the ship was unstable.
The owner of ferry operator Chonghaejin Marine Co, Yoo Byung-eun, disappeared after the disaster and was eventually found dead.
The ferry sank in waters between 37 and 43 metres (121 and 141 feet) deep.
While salvage operations have been undertaken in deeper seas, the site of the Sewol is a channel subject to notoriously dangerous currents and heavy surface winds.
Two divers died searching for bodies inside the vessel last year.
Sewol ferry: How it could be raised


Thirteen people in Guildford are making the world's biggest video game.

No Man's Sky was first shown off this time last year, and back then it was just a shell of an idea, a grand promise to create Universe-sized game like no other.
"Great," everyone said, "if they can pull it off."
This year, we are finally able to enter that Universe.
It is a galaxy - no, several galaxies - created not by designers, but by algorithms: sophisticated mathematical formulas that generate unique worlds, meaning literally billions of planets can be discovered and visited in the game.
No Man's Sky sprouted from the mind of Sean Murray, the founder of independent developer Hello Games.
He describes the game as his "mid-life crisis" - the result of years working on sequel after sequel at major games company EA.
He left to pursue a more fulfilling and creative career as an indie developer - and No Man's Sky is his baby.
"When I walk around this planet," he says, giving the BBC a guided tour of a world we have just casually discovered, "I don't see mountains and rivers and lakes, I just see the mathematical formulae."
He is alone in that. Everyone else sees vast, wild expanses of natural life - animals scuttling around in the grass, birds flying across the sky, lakes full of fish.
Once you comprehend that the beautifully designed landscape was the result of a formula rather than of human creativity, you start to realise the significance of what Mr Murray and his 12-strong team have achieved.
Last year, they were the unexpected stars of E3, given centre stage at Sony's huge press conference to show off what they had achieved so far.
So, this year, it was time to show they were capable of coming up with the goods, and to start to deliver on that enormous promise.
Their appearance onstage this time round was markedly more understated.
"When we showed the game off first, we definitely had a lot of hype around it," Mr Murray says.
"Hype is different to excitement. It's almost scary to a developer. Hype is an unattainable level of excitement. It will always lead to disappointment."
At E3's press conferences, every game is demonstrated as if it is the greatest epic ever created - beautiful graphics, with tense, gripping gameplay.
The games rarely live up to the theatrics of the trailer.
No Man's Sky's demonstration was a simple affair, consisting of Mr Murray, with a controller, playing the game for a few minutes - in front of thousands in the area and millions watching online.
He says: "We didn't pre-script it, we didn't have it like every other demo that ends with a gigantic explosion or something like that. We just said we'd stand up and play the game. If people are excited by that, then great."
The response was positive, but with an air of confusion. What exactly is No Man's Sky? What do you actually do in the game?
"There is a point," Mr Murray says. "You start at the outside edge of the galaxy. Every player starts on a different planet, they're trying to make their way to the centre of the galaxy."
As well as that core mission, players can pursue side-projects. Become a miner, perhaps, or even a pirate, attacking ships in space. You won't be short of things to do, Mr Murray says.
There are worries, though, that Mr Murray's team has seriously overpromised, and that the only path from here is one that leads to disappointment.
Developers with hundreds of employees would think twice about taking on a project as daring as this.
There is also a worry the game could be a bit, well, boring.
"The reality is the world we are creating is so huge, you are actually really unlikely to ever bump into anyone," Mr Murray says.
There is space combat, he says, and ground combat, and lots of side-projects to keep you busy.
But, while gamers will be no doubt mesmerised by the enormous scale of the game, it is an unforgiving community. If it is not fun, No Man's Sky is a dud.
The company seems to have a release date in mind, but it is not being made public just yet. Nor will Murray be fully drawn on the subject of virtual reality.
But in attempting to deflect that question, he fails to contain his excitement.
The company is looking at a virtual-reality version of No Man's Sky, so gamers can expect to enter this unique and ground-breaking universe one day.
It will be quite a journey.

Swiss army helicopters have crossed the French border to scoop up lake water to help thirsty cows, drawing criticism from French officials, it has emerged.

The operation last week at the Rousses Lake in the Jura mountains caught French officials by surprise. They said the mission was not authorised.
Swiss media said the country's army had asked for permission from the French air force - not local authorities.
The water was needed to save the cows from dehydration during a heat wave.
Christophe Mathez, deputy mayor of France's Les Rousses commune, said local officials had "no idea this operation would occur", the Associated Press news agency reports.
However, Swiss military official Denis Froidevaux told the Swiss newspaper Le Matin: "As soon as they contacted us, we realised there was a communication problem and we immediately stopped."
The Swiss air operation also startled local residents and tourists swimming in the lake, reports say.


A demonstation of Apple's new iPad Pro by the software company Adobe has embroiled both companies in controversy.

10 September 2015 Last updated at 00:49 BST
Eric Snowden, director of design for Adobe, showed off the device at Apple's launch event on Wednesday by editing a photo of a woman's face.
The demo was met by applause in the auditorium, but was criticised online.
"Apple could have Photoshopped anything... coloured in the stripes on a zebra," wrote Biz Carson for Business Insider.
"Apple just wasn't aware enough of the connotations - especially in the context and scrutiny surrounding tech and diversity - to sidestep the landmine."


Former boxer Michael Watson and Paralympian Dame Tanni Grey Thompson will be among the torchbearers taking part in the 24-hour Paralympic relay.

Watson, who suffered brain damage in a fight in 1991, will carry the flame in Trafalgar Square on Wednesday.
The relay travels from Stoke Mandeville - the spiritual home of the Paralympic Games - to London overnight on Tuesday.
Ahead of this, flame festivals will be held in London, Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff across the weekend.
On 28 August the four flames will be brought together in Stoke Mandeville where they will create the Paralympic flame, signalling the start of the relay.
Starting out from Stoke Mandeville Stadium at 20:00 BST, the Paralympic flame will be carried 92 miles by 580 torchbearers, working in teams of five, through Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and London to the Olympic Stadium in Stratford.
There it will be used to light the cauldron at the opening ceremony of the Games on the evening of 29 August.
Sites it will visit include:
Fomer boxer Watson, who suffered irreparable damage during a fight against Chris Eubank, will team up with wheelchair racer Dame Tanni, Paralympic swimmer Chris Holmes and sports coach Egidijus Bartkus for the stint in Trafalgar Square at 10:51 BST.
Deborah Hale, who works for Games organisers Locog and is producer of the torch relay, said: "We strived very hard to do something very different from the one that had gone before, to give it a unique voice and to try to reach as many people as possible in a much shorter window."
Urging the public to support the torchbearers on the route she said: "Come out and cheer on the torchbearers and light a lantern to light the way to the Paralympic Games."
Four national flames were kindled at the summit of the highest peaks in Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales on Wednesday.
They will be taken to flame festivals which are being held in London on 24 August, and then on consecutive days in Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff.
The first of four UK ceremonial cauldrons will be lit on the north terrace of London's Trafalgar Square, outside the National Gallery, on Friday morning
Former event rider Claire Lomas, who completed this year's London Marathon in 16 days, will light the cauldron using the English national flame which was kindled on Scafell Pike.
London Mayor Boris Johnson and Seb Coe, chair of London 2012, will be present at the ceremony along with scouts who were involved in hiking up the mountain to kindle the flame.
Before the cauldron lighting, the flame will be taken to the Royal Opera House, while later in the day it will also visit the Notting Hill Carnival and the Houses of Parliament before travelling on the Docklands Light Railway.
Outside Stormont in Belfast on Saturday, Paralympian and Disability Sport Northern Ireland Chair Angela Hendra will light a cauldron using the national flame kindled at the summit of Slieve Donard.
Rosie Smith, who was nominated by Scottish Disability Sport, will use the flame created at the top of the mountain which she has climbed, Ben Nevis, to light a cauldron on The Mound in Edinburgh on Sunday.
The final cauldron will be lit outside City Hall in Cardiff by Paralympian Simon Richardson on Monday.
Flame ambassadors from towns and cities across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland will attend the ceremonies to light a lamp from the flame to take back to their communities for a flame celebration.
All four ceremonies, which are not public events, take place at about 08:00 BST and will be followed by large scale evening celebrations in Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff.


Women's Six Nations holders Ireland suffered a setback in their bid to retain the title as they went down 18-6 to France in Perpignan on Saturday.

The French scored two first-half tries, the second a fine individual effort by winger Caroline Boujard, to take a 15-6 lead into the interval.
Irish captain Niamh Briggs kicked two penalties to keep her side in touch.
A single French penalty was the only score of the second half and the hosts are now unbeaten after two matches.
France began their campaign with a 39-0 trouncing of Italy last weekend, while Ireland had beaten Wales 21-3 in Dublin.
Audrey Abadie kicked an early penalty for the home side but Briggs levelled when her kick at goal went over off the upright in the 14th minute.
Gaëlle Mignot crossed the line for the first try of the game after 19 minutes, before Boujard ran from inside her own half to extend her side's advantage four minutes later, Abadie converting.
Another Briggs penalty just after the half hour mark reduced the deficit to nine points, then Boujard landed the only score of the second half.
Ireland's next match is a trip to Twickenham to face England in two weeks' time, while France are away to Wales.

In our series of letters from African journalists, media and communications trainer Joseph Warungu gives a personal guide to some of the key people, places and events to watch out for in Africa in 2017.

Africa will go through six human actions this year - it will stand, kneel, squat, bow, fall and then rise again.
Here's how.
In the group of those who will be standing in Africa in 2017 is Donald Trump.
Yes, I know it's an act of treason to associate him with Africa.
But when he's sworn in as president, his foreign policy (or tweetplomacy) will have a bearing on our continent.
His critics warn that his isolationist stand might mean less attention will be paid to Africa.
But it could just force Africans to find solutions from within, by strengthening our institutions, improving infrastructure, governance and security and trading more amongst ourselves.
Another man who also takes office in January is Nana Akufo-Addo, the president-elect of Ghana.
He's tried to enter Flagstaff House (the presidential residency) through the ballot box as the New Patriotic Party candidate since 2008.
Now that he has the keys, Ghanaians will wait to see how he delivers his pledge of one district, one factory, lest he becomes one man, one term.
And then there's the state of emergency in Ethiopia, which still stands.
It was put in place last October following violent protests.
The government says the security situation has improved save for some clashes in the northern part of Amhara region.
Some 9,000 people detained under the state of emergency have been released and the government says it could lift the emergency before its six-month period is over.
There are two prominent men who will be kneeling before voters to ask for a job.
Paul Kagame has been president for the last 16 years, but Rwandans appear to want more of him and have voted to remove the term-limit barrier.
In August, Mr Kagame will therefore use his constitutional right to ask for a new employment contract.
In the same month, his Kenyan neighbour Uhuru Kenyatta will also be reapplying for his job.
Last September, while warning the main opposition leader Raila Odinga to mind his own party and leave the ruling Jubilee party alone, President Kenyatta famously said: "â€¦ as you continue to search for a seat and salivate, we are feasting on the meat".
It will be clear in August whether Kenyans will give Jubilee more time to feast or turn the party itself into mince meat.
Joseph Warungu:
"The Nigerian economy... enters 2017 in the squat position"
The African Union has been searching for a new Chief Executive Officer and will fill the position in January.
Three men and two women from Botswana, Kenya, Chad, Senegal and Equatorial Guinea will fight it out to replace the outgoing South African Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, as Chair of the AU Commission.
Now to some situations and people who can't decide whether to stand or sit.
The Nigerian economy has caught its nastiest stomach bug in more than two decades.
And so it enters 2017 in the squat position.
A combination of factors including a crash in the global price of oil, which Nigeria relies a lot on, and a fall in the naira, the country's currency, contributed to the sizeable contraction of the economy in 2016.
The anger and frustration among the people was aptly captured by this online comment from one Nigerian in November: "We are now going into depression and deep S***! Buhari has himself to blame for unfortunately being a gentleman!"
Over in The Gambia, Yahya Jammeh is no gentleman - he's chosen to squat at State House.
He lost the presidential election to Adama Barrow and publicly conceded defeat.
A little later, the thought of leaving the seat he has called his own for the last 22 years overpowered him and he changed his mind.
Africa and the world have asked him to go home, but he is defiant.
As his last day in office approaches on 19 of January, the same force he used to gain power in 1994 could be used to relieve him of his office.
There are three notable people who will be bowing out of office in 2017.
Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, the first elected female head of state in Africa, is coming to the end of her second and final term of office in Liberia.
One of those waiting on the touchline to join the succession race is football star George Weah.
The former AC Milan and Chelsea striker failed to score in the 2005 presidential tournament but hopes 2017 will be his year.
Angolans will have a chance to replace the only man they've known as president for nearly 40 years.
Although Jose Eduardo dos Santos has announced he'll step down, his blood will still flow through the veins of power and the economy in Angola.
His daughter, Isabel, heads Sonangol, the state oil company and is considered by Forbes to be Africa's richest woman, while his son, Jose, is chairman of the country's sovereign wealth fund, Fundo Soberano de Angola.
In neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo, 2017 could mark the beginning of the end for another family dynasty, which started in 1997 when Laurent Desire Kabila became president after overthrowing Mobutu Sese Seko.
Laurent Kabila's son Joseph picked up the reigns after his father's assassination in 2001, and was bent on staying in power until attempts to change the constitution to allow him a third term backfired.
Violent street protests have piled pressure on President Kabila to exit from office this year and the issue is bound to continue into the new year.
The theme of falling is alive in South Africa.
The #FeesMustFall campaign by university students sought to fight the rising cost of higher education and saw violent clashes between police and protesters, disruptions in the university calendar and the arrest of a number of students.
2017 promises more of the same because not only have the fees not fallen, some top universities have announced an 8% increase.
And then there's the question of the country's President Jacob Zuma.
In December 2017, his tenure as leader of the governing ANC party runs out, but his term as the country's president only ends in 2019.
Allowing Mr Zuma to continue as head of state but with the ANC under someone else's leadership could create two centres of power, which could be political suicide.
So will the ANC #LetZumaFall as it did President Thabo Mbeki under similar circumstances?
2017 will have answers.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is another that could face the threat of falling in Africa if more African countries continue to withdraw from the Rome Statute.
A number of countries have notified the UN Secretary-General of their intention to withdraw, saying the ICC unfairly targets African leaders in its application of international justice.
And now to international trends where fashion, like history, has a habit of repeating itself.
A quick glance at catwalk signs for 2017 shows that the hems of women's skirts will be falling - to just below the knee.
Apparently midi-skirts elongate the figure and flatter the wearer, so this must be a good fall.
The Africa Cup of Nations tournament kicks off in mid-January in Gabon and Uganda carries the hopes of East Africa.
The region has a terrible record in continental football.
Uganda's last appearance in the finals was in 1978 when it lost to Ghana in the final.
Kenya and Tanzania have never progressed beyond the group stage, so if Uganda can rise, East Africa can stand tall.
In politics, despite all manner of socio-economic challenges, the spirit of the Africans is on the rise - they've already just about removed one long-serving president from power (The Gambia, even if he is still resisting ) and in 2017 a couple more might follow (DR Congo, Angola)
When Africa stumbles, it must rise because as they say in Nigeria, the sun shines on those who stand before it shines on those who are sitting.

Google has built and tested autonomous aerial vehicles, which it believes could be used for goods deliveries.

The project is being developed at Google X, the company's clandestine tech research arm, which is also responsible for its self-driving car.
Project Wing has been running for two years, but was a secret until now.
Google said that its long-term goal was to develop drones that could be used for disaster relief by delivering aid to isolated areas.
They could be used after earthquakes, floods, or extreme weather events, the company suggested, to take small items such as medicines or batteries to people in areas that conventional vehicles cannot reach.
"Even just a few of these, being able to shuttle nearly continuously could service a very large number of people in an emergency situation," explained Astro Teller, Captain of Moonshots - Google X's name for big-thinking projects.
Google's self-flying vehicle project was first conceived of as a way to deliver defibrillator kits to people suspected of having heart attacks. The idea was that the drones would transport the equipment faster than an ambulance could.
"When you have a tool like this you can really allow the operators of those emergency services to add an entirely new dimension to the set of tools and solutions that they can think of," said Dave Voss, incoming leader of Project Wing.
The prototype vehicles that the company has built have successfully been tested by delivering packages to remote farms in Queensland, Australia, from neighbouring properties.
Australia was selected as a test site due to what Google calls "progressive" rules about the use of drones, which are more tightly controlled in other parts of the world.
Project Wing's aircraft have a wingspan of approximately 1.5m (4.9ft) and have four electrically driven propellers.
The total weight, including the package to be delivered, is approximately 10kg (22lb). The aircraft itself accounts for the bulk of that at 8.5kg (18.7lb).
The small, white glossy machine has a "blended wing" design where the entire body of the aircraft provides lift.
The vehicle is known as a "tail sitter" - since it rests on the ground with its propellers pointed straight up, but then transitions into a horizontal flight pattern.
This dual mode operation gives the self-flying vehicle some of the benefits of both planes and helicopters.
It can take off or land without a runway, and can hold its position hovering in one spot. It can also fly quickly and efficiently, allowing it to cover larger distances than the more traditional quadcopter vehicles available commercially.
The vehicles are pre-programmed with a destination, but then left to fly themselves there automatically.
This differs from many military drone aircraft, which are often remotely controlled by a pilot on the ground, sometimes on the other side of the world.
Eventually Google said it could use unmanned flying vehicles to deliver shopping items to consumers at home. That's a use that retail giant Amazon has already stated an interest in, with its proposed Prime Air service - the announcement of which generated headlines at the end of last year:
Amazon has asked the US Federal Aviation Administration for permission to conduct outdoor tests.
"The things we would do there are not unlike what is traditionally done in aerospace," said Mr Voss.
"It will be clear for us what level of redundancy we need in the controls and sensors, the computers that are onboard, and the motors, and how they are able to fail gracefully such that you don't have catastrophic problems occurring."
Other unusual vehicles have been investigated for humanitarian aid, including flying cars and hoverbikes, with the same aims of reaching cut-off areas quickly.
"We will have to see what kind of specific technology works best within the aid landscape, and if the new technology can integrate positively in the local context," said Lou Del Bello from news site SciDev.net, speaking about the category in general.
"It will need to demonstrate it can be cost effective, and respond to actual needs of local people."

Private equity fund Apollo said on Tuesday, it plans to buy security company ADT for $6.9bn (£4.8bn).

Apollo said it will merge ADT with its security and home monitoring firm Protection 1.
The combined company is expected to generate $4.2bn in annual revenue.
ADT's president said the purchase price offered investors a "highly attractive premium", while a partner from Apollo said the deal would enhance the fund's position in the fragmented industry.
Apollo's offer is 56% higher than the value of ADT's shares at the end of trading on 12 February.
ADT and Protection 1 both offer home and office security monitoring services. ADT serves more than 6.5 million clients while Protection 1 serves two million.
"This transaction provides the opportunity to dramatically enhance our position in the large, fragmented and growing residential and business interactive electronic monitoring industry," said Marc Becker, senior partner at Apollo.
ADT's board unanimously approved the deal. It now has 40 days to look for alternative offers, a standard practice in these types of transactions.
The deal is expected to be completed by June.


Same-sex marriage has now become legal in the Republic of Ireland, after new legislation came into effect on Monday.

The law was passed after a referendum in May, when the Irish state became the first in the world to legalise same-sex civil marriage by popular vote.
It is not yet known when and where the first same-sex wedding will be held.
But the first people to be affected are same-sex couples who have already wed legally abroad. Their marriages are now automatically recognised by the state.
They include Orla Howard and her wife Dr Grainne Courtney, who were married in the United States in May 2013.
The couple have been in a relationship for the last 13 years and live in Dublin with their two grown-up daughters.
"It's a terrific moment, because our marriage will be the same as any straight couple's marriage from Monday morning," Ms Howard told BBC Northern Ireland.
"It will bring all of the rights and protections that marriage brings, from the constitutional point of view, to our family and that's one of the key things for us."
Same-sex couples who are seeking to wed for the first time will be able to do so from Monday onwards, but it is not yet known who is in line to make legal history by marrying a person of the same sex in a Republic of Ireland ceremony.
The first newlyweds are likely to be couples who had already applied to register a civil partnership over the coming hours or days, but who now have the option to convert this into a marriage application for the same date.
Registrars have been contacting couples who fall into this category to find out their preferences.
People who are already in a civil partnership in the Republic of Ireland can now also choose get married, but they must give at least five day's notice of their intentions to a civil registration office.
Civil partners who do not wish to get married will remain as civil partners, their legal status will not be affected by the new law.
However, new applications for civil partnerships are no longer being accepted.
The Marriage Act 2015 only applies to civil marriage, and no Irish church or religious organisation that objects to the new law will be forced to perform same-sex marriage ceremonies.
The Catholic Church and other Christian organisations had campaigned against the legislation, arguing marriage should only be between a man and woman.


The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) has served up a new campaign - 'Tennis for Kids' - which aims to inspire 10,000 children aged five to eight to pick up a racket and play tennis for the first time with free lessons across Great Britain.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The campaign launched with the help of Andy Murray and Great Britain's Davis Cup-winning team with their video on why you should fall in love with tennis.
Former British number one Annabel Croft says: "As someone who has played tennis for decades, the Tennis for Kids initiative is extremely exciting as it offers children who are completely new to the sport an easy way to start getting involved.
"It is also a lovely way to get parents in on the action, as they are actively encouraged to attend the final session."
"After our momentous Davis Cup win in 2015, we wanted to ensure we did something that really focused on the younger generation and inspired them to get involved in a sport that they could continue to enjoy throughout their lives," added LTA chief executive Michael Downey.

The Syrian city seen as the capital of the revolution has fallen, by agreement.

Rebel fighters have agreed a ceasefire and will leave Homs to President Bashar al-Assad's tender mercies.
Yet in just a few weeks' time - by the New Year at the latest - President Assad is meant to be talking peace with some of the leaders who have suffered this reverse.
It doesn't seem very likely - not with Russian President Vladimir Putin behind him.
For its part, the fractured and disparate opposition wants President Assad not across the table but at least out of power and, better still, dead.
Like some sick version of a knockout league, the opposition is arguing, and in some cases fighting, among themselves about who should play-off against President Assad.
There is a conference in Saudi Arabia designed to sort this out. But some significant players are absent.
The Kurds aren't there, despite being, by most accounts, the most effective and efficient fighting force.
The jihadists aren't welcome, of course. The Western priority is to crush so-called Islamic State (IS) before there can be serious progress towards peace.
This determination is most often justified by the threat IS poses to Europe and the US.
But the British government argues it also directly relates to keeping alive a moderate opposition.
The rather mysterious force of 70,000 fighters talked about by David Cameron as "troops on the ground" morphs before our eyes into a vulnerable but essential group to be preserved.
I was watching a crucial but largely ignored Defence Committee meeting just before last week's Commons vote.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon told the committee the 70,000 "are fighting Assad, and one of the reasons for us getting more involved in tacking Isil [a longer acronym for Islamic State] in Syria is so that they are not being squeezed by both sides".
The deputy chief of the defence staff, Lt Gen Gordon Messenger, helpfully spelt out the need to "preserve them as part of a future political process".
He added: "Nor are we saying they are ready to advance to Raqqa - but we are saying they are a really important group to preserve.
"Because we see them as being a vital part of the political process, critical to preserve to prevent Syria becoming a choice between Assad or Isil, so they are a very important part of the dynamic."
The West's hopes for an alternative Syria seem based on crossed fingers rather than serious analysis.
The survival of a moderate opposition may depend not on British bombs but Russian ones.
If Russia continues to target it, it will not be a force at the negotiating table, and there will be no real reason for President Assad to come to the table.
It is very unpalatable for the West, but President Putin's military intervention means he holds the key to Syria's future.
Syria, the US and the rest of the Western alliance hangs on his next move.
Is this a victory for President Bashar al-Assad?
The withdrawal of the last remaining rebels from al-Wair is a blow to the opposition because it gives the government complete control over what was once the centre of the uprising against the president.
Has it come about because of Russia's intervention?
The Syrian military launched an offensive on rebel-held areas outside Homs after Russia began its air campaign two months ago. But al-Wair fell because its residents were besieged for almost three years, coming under continuous and heavy bombardment and receiving only limited and irregular supplies.
Does this offer hope for a wider peace deal?
Local ceasefires such as the one that allowed the al-Wair withdrawal - negotiated by Syrians, rather than involving outside states - may be the most effective way of gradually bringing peace to the country.
Why are rebel and opposition factions meeting in Saudi Arabia?
Leading opposition politicians and rebels are for the first time meeting in an attempt to agree a common position ahead of peace talks with the government, which world powers want to start in Vienna next month.
Will those talks lead to peace talks with the government?
Analysts say trying to get the disparate factions to agree to the same platform and negotiate as one unit will prove very difficult, if not impossible.


Serial killer Levi Bellfield has denied confessing to the abduction, rape and killing of 13-year-old Milly Dowler.

His solicitor Julia Cooper has asked Surrey Police to explain a statement that he had confessed to the murder.
Bellfield, 47, was given a whole-life prison sentence in June 2011 for murdering the schoolgirl.
Surrey Police confirmed it had received a letter from Bellfield's solicitors but said it was standing by its statement on the confession.
Milly was kidnapped while on her way from school to her home in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, in March 2002.
Ms Cooper said Bellfield, now known as Yusuf Rahim, believed a "covert tape" may have been used to record his response to a police interview in prison.
She said "my client denies giving a confession".
She has written to Surrey Police requesting the tape recording and notes from the meeting.
Ms Cooper said Bellfield contacted her very soon after Surrey Police distributed its press statement relating to the Dowler case.
She said Bellfield denies all the crimes for which he has been convicted.
Last month, Surrey Police revealed Bellfield had made the admission during an investigation into whether he had an accomplice involved in the abduction and rape, but not murder, of Milly.
The force said it stood by its original statement.
A police source speaking to the BBC would not comment on how the admission was recorded.
Milly's body was found 25 miles away from where she was kidnapped, in Yateley Heath, Hampshire.
Experts could not say how she died.
Bellfield was found guilty of abducting and murdering the teenager following a trial at the Old Bailey where a judge described him as a "cruel and pitiless killer".
He was already in jail for the murders of Amelie Delagrange, 22, and Marsha McDonnell, 19, and the attempted murder of Kate Sheedy, 18, when he went on trial accused of killing Milly.
He lived 50 yards from where Milly vanished but did not become a suspect until he was arrested by police in London for the other crimes in 2004.
On Wednesday, the Dowler family revealed harrowing details of Milly's final hours, saying they had been made aware of her suffering last year after Bellfield had spoken to police.


The mother of a holiday island bar manager found on rocks in the Scilly Isles says his death was "no accident".

The body of Josh Clayton, 23, from Taunton, was found near Tresco on 23 September 2015, 10 days after he went missing from a party on the privately-owned island.
An inquest into his death was halted after new evidence came to light last week.
His mother Tracey wants police to open a fresh investigation into his death.
She says she has had a private meeting with a senior police officer from Devon and Cornwall Police.
"He assured me he will be reviewing and hopefully will look for any gaps that happen throughout the investigation," she said.
"It definitely wasn't an accident.
"I've thought that from day one and I still believe it now."
Devon and Cornwall Police said they were only made aware of the new evidence at the inquest and were carrying out further inquiries.
The coroner told the force to investigate after new claims emerged of a row at the party Mr Clayton was at before he went missing.
He had been at a staff event at The Shed venue organised by Tristan Dorrien-Smith, son of island landlord Robert.
Partygoer Leroy Thomas said Mr Clayton had been arguing with a group of foreign workers at the party.
Following the inquest Devon and Cornwall Police said in a statement it was the "first time" the force had been made aware of the claims and "further investigations will be carried out as a result".


South Africa have made one change to their starting line-up as wing JP Pietersen returns to face Wales in Saturday's World Cup quarter-final at Twickenham.

Pietersen replaces Lwazi Mvovo and Bryan Habana is back on the left wing.
Coach Heyneke Meyer has also made four changes to his replacements from the squad that beat the United States 64-0.
Veteran lock Victor Matfield has failed to regain fitness following a hamstring injury.
Hooker Adriaan Strauss, prop Jannie du Plessis, scrum-half Ruan Pienaar and fly-half Pat Lambie are back on the Springboks' bench.
Meyer said Pietersen and Habana "have been in superb form" with nine tournament tries between them.
Habana is also on the brink of overtaking New Zealand legend Jonah Lomu as the top try-scorer in World Cup history.

"They are playing some of the best rugby of their lives," said Meyer.
"They have been scoring some wonderful tries, as has Lwazi Mvovo, so it's really great to know that there is good competition among the wings.
"It made sense to reunite Bryan and JP on the wing as it brings a lot of experience to our backline, which has been doing well despite the relative inexperience of Handré Pollard, Damian De Allende and Jesse Kriel."
Meyer also backed the experienced returnees to South Africa's bench.
"We've seen first-hand how important it is to have experienced players on the field at the end of a match and to have this kind of experience available on the bench in a knock-out match is great," said Meyer.

"Saturday's match will be huge and we are expecting an arm wrestle right until the end.
"We're playing against a well-balanced side that always likes to mix things up when it comes to physicality.
"They have a good set piece and some strong ball carriers upfront and in the back - it's what you expect to face at this stage of the competition and we're very excited about the challenge."
Backs: Willie le Roux; JP Pietersen, Jesse Kriel, Damien de Allende, Bryan Habana; Handre Pollard, Fourie du Preez (capt).
Forwards: Tendai Mtawarira, Bismarck du Plessis, Frans Malherbe, Lodewyk de Jager, Eben Etzebeth, Schalk Burger, Duane Vermeulen,  Francois Louw.
Replacements: Adriaan Strauss, Trevor Nyakane, Jannie du Plessis, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Willem Alberts, Ruan Pienaar, Pat Lambie, Jan Serfontein


The operator of a fire-hit recycling plant in Swindon that has gone into administration is still legally obliged to remove all waste from the site, the Environment Agency has said.

A blaze raged at Averies Recycling (Swindon) Ltd's Marshgate site for more than two months last year.
The Environment Agency subsequently revoked Averies' licence.
It said despite being in administration, Averies must remove all waste from the site by 15 April.
"It is still obliged to comply with the revocation notice and the associated conditions of the permit," a spokesman said.
"The notice contains steps which legally oblige the company to return the site to a satisfactory state and to remove the risks of pollution."
The Environment Agency has estimated the cost of clearing the site at £1m.
Swindon Borough Council said if Averies failed to comply with the revocation notice, the authority would not be liable for any cost to clear the site as it is privately owned.
A council spokesperson said: "We are working closely with the Environment Agency to explore all avenues which will ensure the owner of both businesses, in Brindley Close and Marshgate, takes responsibility for clearing up these sites.
"The costs involved are significant and we remain committed to minimising any impact on the public purse."
The Environment Agency estimated the cost of tackling the blaze, which burned from 21 July until 15 September, at £500,000.
The fire was finally put out after 3,000 tonnes of waste were removed to give firefighters access.
Averies Recycling also runs a skip hire site in Brindley Close, Cheney Manor, on land owned by the local authority.
The waste operator has until 4 March to clear that area.
The BBC has been unable to contact Averies for a comment.


Harassment of women is to be recorded as a hate crime in a bid to tackle sexist abuse.

Nottinghamshire Police said it would expand its categories to include misogynistic incidents.
It means abuse or harassment which might not be a crime can be reported to and investigated by the police, and support for the victim put in place.
Nottingham Women's Centre said it hopes it will help give more victims the courage to report incidents.
Chief Constable Sue Fish claimed it will make the county a safer place for women.
"What women face, often on a daily basis, is absolutely unacceptable and can be extremely distressing," she said.
"Nottinghamshire Police is committed to taking misogynistic hate crime seriously and encourages anyone who is affected by it to contact us without hesitation."
Work on the idea first started with the Nottinghamshire Safer for Women Conference last year, co-hosted by the police with the Nottingham Women's Centre.
BBC TV reporter Sarah Teale was harassed in the street while reporting on the conference.
The force defines misogyny hate crime as: "Incidents against women that are motivated by an attitude of a man towards a woman and includes behaviour targeted towards a woman by men simply because they are a woman."
The classification now means people can report incidents which might not be considered to be a crime and the police will investigate.
Nottingham Women's Centre has been helping train call centre, force control staff and officers on the beat to recognise misogynistic hate crime and ways to tackle it.
These officers will also examine if and how a victim can be supported or if anything can be done to help prevent them being targeted again.
Domestic abuse will not be recorded as a misogyny hate crime because it has its own procedure, the force said.
Melanie Jeffs, centre manager at Nottingham Women's Centre, said: "We're pleased to see Nottinghamshire Police recognise the breadth of violence and intimidation that women experience on a daily basis in our communities."
She added: "Recording this as a hate crime will give us a detailed picture of how often, when and where it is happening. It has been very difficult to build that picture before but we will now get detailed data to analyse.
"Showing that the police take it seriously will also give people the confidence to come forward and report offences."
A crime that the victim or any other person perceives to be motivated by hostility or prejudice towards any aspect of a person's identity.
Police forces in England, Wales and Northern Ireland annually monitor five strands of hate crime:
Forces can include their own definition of a hate crime with several recently adding sub cultures.
