Junet Mohamed is pointing fingers at Uhuru Kenyatta's inner circle over missing 2022 election funds. The National Assembly Minority Leader forcefully rejected accusations from ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna that he mishandled money meant for party agents, instead claiming former President Uhuru Kenyatta sent the funds to his brother, Muhoho Kenyatta.
Junet stated that Muhoho delegated the task to a man named Patrick Mburu, who presented himself as an IT expert capable of stopping election manipulation. He emphasized Mburu's ongoing closeness to the former president, noting his recent travel to Nigeria alongside Uhuru and Kalonzo Musyoka. According to Junet, all operations were run from a secured Westlands office that was off-limits...
Naibos head into a league restart with some bold confidence. Coach Nicholas Muyoti stated his Nairobi United squad feels sharp and ready for their clash with Shabana this Sunday at Gusii Stadium, dismissing any concerns about post-holiday rust. He credited a recent win and draw for rebuilding the team's morale, also noting a strong performance in an abandoned match against Gor Mahia.
Muyoti linked their earlier struggles directly to fatigue from the CAF Confederations Cup. He openly targeted a full three points from the upcoming game. Looking further ahead, he confirmed the club plans active mid-season signings when the transfer window opens, aiming to boost overall squad quality and depth for the second leg.
The team will be without...
Canada is ramping up deportations, and Nigeria just cracked the top ten list. Official data shows 366 Nigerians were deported in just the first ten months of 2025, with another 974 currently in the removal process, as the country executes its fastest immigration enforcement push in more than ten years. The figures place Nigeria as the ninth highest nationality for deportations this year and fifth for pending removals.
This marks a return to the top ten after a two-year absence. Deportations of Nigerians had been falling since 2019, dropping from 339 that year to just 199 in 2022. The 2025 number represents an eight percent increase over the 2019 figure. The broader enforcement drive has the Canada Border Services Agency removing close...
Nigeria's new tax overhaul has everyone sweating. As the 2026 work year began, salaried workers, traders, and businesses faced a fundamentally reformed system, causing widespread anxiety and confusion among ordinary citizens, particularly low-income earners. The government's new framework, promised to be fairer and more efficient, officially started with the 2025 tax laws. Early days showed an orderly rollout but hinted at public scrutiny and digital growing pains ahead.
The updated structure introduces progressive income brackets. Individuals earning under 800,000 naira annually pay nothing. Income from 800,001 to just under 3 million naira is taxed at 15%. Middle-income earners making between 3 million and 11 million naira face an...
Political loyalty in Rivers State just did a full 180. A key Ijaw group, led by former senator George Sekibo, publicly switched its support from Governor Sim Fubara to the Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike during a meeting in Okrika Local Government Area. Sekibo called Fubara ungrateful for betraying Wike, the man who secured his governorship. He declared the Ijaw people were abandoning the governor to follow Wike's lead, promising to obey his directives as gratitude for past support.
Okrika's local chairman, Akuro Tobin, backed this up, listing the appointed and elected positions Wike helped people from the area secure. Wike himself addressed the crowd, telling them it was time to let his political machine operate without...
Soniccouture just dropped another synth instrument collab. They teamed up with British synth wizard Ian Boddy for this one, building a thing called Polarity Modular around 250 unique waveforms he cooked up on his massive modular rig.
The whole point is to mash up that warm, fuzzy analog vibe with insane granular synthesis tweaking. They sampled a ton of classic gear like the Roland System 100M, Serge Modular, and the Buchla Easel. The main screen keeps it stupid simple with just four big macro knobs and two windows showing your main samples, which they're calling A and B Elements. You aren't stuck with their sounds either, because you can just drag and drop your own samples right into those slots.
If you need to go deeper, a dedicated...
A major NRM figure is openly refusing to back his own party's candidate days before the election. Former Deputy Attorney General Mwesigwa Rukutana, once the Rushenyi county MP, publicly stated he will not support the ruling National Resistance Movement flag-bearer in the January 15th general elections. Speaking on a local radio show in Ntungamo district, Rukutana claimed deep knowledge of the NRM constitution, which he helped draft, but insisted on his defiance despite party rules prohibiting losers of primaries from running against the official nominee.
The candidate he is snubbing is Naome Kabasharira, the current independent MP for Rushenyi county. Their bitter feud traces back to a violent 2021 NRM primary where Rukutana, then a...
Starlink just geofenced Uganda out of its service over illegal user kits. SpaceX's satellite internet division confirmed it has blocked all terminals within the country, stating no devices are operating there as of the new year. The company sent a letter to the Uganda Communications Commission, signed by Starlink Market Access Director Ben MacWilliams, clarifying that it holds no local license and does not sell or market services inside Uganda. It acknowledged individuals had been illegally importing and activating kits from authorized countries, a direct violation of its terms.
This move follows a crackdown by Ugandan regulators ahead of the 2026 elections. The UCC warned against using unapproved satellite gear last month, citing...
Uganda's government says a legendary traffic jam wasn't the president's fault. Officials from the State House, the Ministry of Works, and the traffic police pushed back against opposition claims that President Yoweri Museveni's convoy caused the massive Kampala-Masaka Road gridlock. They blamed typical end-of-month travel surges, bad driver behavior, rainy weather, and several vehicle breakdowns instead. State House released a statement calling the allegations inaccurate, arguing that brief presidential road closures are standard global practice and carefully managed to limit disruption.
Works Minister General Edward Katumba Wamala stated Museveni follows protocols for rallies at designated venues, dismissing online narratives that...
