A gospel music legend is facing major pressure from his inner circle to ditch retirement plans. Baba Machanic Manyeruke revealed his family and team are urging him to reverse his decision to stop performing. The revered singer, often called the grandfather of Zimbabwean gospel, just returned from an extended tour overseas where he played multiple cities.
He stayed with his four children during the visit, performing at churches and conferences. Audiences there encouraged him to continue his career despite his advanced age. Manyeruke feels his dedication to fitness makes his sustained energy surprising to some. He expressed a personal desire to rest, focus on mentorship, or retreat to rural life.
A dedicated group of supporters is...

A Highlander's vice-captain is refusing to sign a new contract without a house included. Andrew Mbeba has taken a firm stand in negotiations with the club, stating he will not agree to a deal without the property as part of his signing package. The defender has stopped attending team training sessions, emphasizing his demand for long-term security over verbal promises from the club.
His contract situation leaves him as a free agent currently. A persistent knee injury, which previously forced his withdrawal from national team duty, has complicated potential moves to other interested clubs. Teams like FC Platinum and Hardrock showed past interest, but his physical condition has cooled that market, strengthening Highlanders' negotiating...

India's bowlers delivered an absolute masterclass against the USA to kick off their tournament. Choosing to field after winning the toss, they dismantled the American batting order for 107 runs. Henil Patel dominated the attack, securing a five-wicket haul with impressive figures of 5/16 from his seven overs. Support came from four other bowlers who each took a single wicket.
The American innings never found momentum, with Nitish Sudini's 36 runs representing the lone resistance. Patel triggered the collapse early, removing key batters, including captain Utkarsh Srivastava, for a duck. The USA struggled against a consistent line and length throughout their allocated overs.
India's chase faced a revised target and some early pressure...
A huge refinery is basically fighting importers with price cuts. The Dangote refinery significantly increased its fuel supply contribution recently, though imports still dominated overall volume. Data showed domestic refining provided nearly a billion liters of petrol during the period, a notable rise from previous months. Total national supply averaged over seventy million liters daily, with the refinery accounting for about thirty-two million of that.
The jump reflects higher seasonal consumption demands. Dangote Group President Aliko Dangote accused regulators of issuing reckless import licenses despite his refinery having full storage tanks. He claimed this amounted to economic sabotage, complaining to government authorities. In...
A kid's viral DNA plea just got shut down hard by the singer. A teenager publicly asked Afrobeat star Davido to take a paternity test through an Instagram post. She described facing years of bullying over her claim of being his oldest daughter, even seeking mental health support. Her emotional appeal requested the test to establish her identity as she grows older.
Davido responded bluntly in the comments and on his own social media accounts. He stated he already underwent five separate DNA tests at multiple facilities, all with negative results. The singer insisted he never met the girl's mother outside the testing process, calling her an obsessed fan. He expressed frustration over the repeated claims, suggesting legal action should...
Tax authorities are shutting down rumors about some new bank charges. The Nigeria Revenue Service called reports of freshly imposed VAT on banking services completely incorrect. Officials stated VAT has always applied to fees and commissions for financial services under existing law. A media adviser clarified the recent tax act did not introduce any new obligation for customers.
The service urged the public to ignore misleading narratives circulating online. They emphasized relying solely on official communications for accurate tax information. Provided clarifications specify that VAT applies only to service charges like transfer fees or card issuance costs. The tax does not touch the actual money being moved or withdrawn from...
Political chaos just leveled up with a formal impeachment push. The Rivers State House of Assembly has asked the Chief Judge to form an investigation panel targeting Governor Siminialayi Fubara and Deputy Governor Ngozi Odu.

This follows a legislative resolution to proceed with impeachment proceedings against the executives.
Lawmakers accuse the governor and his deputy of being incorrigible. The action cites a specific constitutional section regarding the removal of officials. Attached documents include formal notices of misconduct and published newspaper reports. The assembly resumed its session in a conference room...
