Dr.John Pombe Magufuli has succumbed to heart failure according to reports, despite earlier being reported that he was admitted at The Nairobi Hospital then flown to India over COVID-19 complications. It will be remembered that Magufuli was a strong sceptic of COVID-19. He blatantly refused to lock down Tanzania when COVID-19 set in, declared Tanzania COVID-19 free in June 2020 and  banned the use of face masks. Many a critics said that he was doing that so that the planned General Elections could go on uninterrupted and see him get another term in office.  However,just before he disappeared from the public, Magufuli accepted that the virus was still circulating after the vice president of Zanzibar was revealed to have succumbed to COVID-19. Now that president Magufuli has passed on, his deputy, Dr.Suluhu, has taken over the office and might ...

President Uhuru Kenyatta. Just when Kenyans were hoping,praying and fasting that when President Uhuru Kenyatta gives his briefing today(12th March,2021) he lifts the curfew, he has chosen to extend it by a further 60 days! Kenyans pleaded with Uhuru, endeared themselves to him with words of praise with hopes that he will give in to the desire of their hearts, lifting the curfew. One internet user wrote; "Jayden the Great,Son of Jomo the great,the first man to board SGR the first man to sign BBI, who coughs and we respond,man of the moment...the father of this nation,the Guru Buvati of Kenya,we respect,love and adore you a lot. Please lift the curfew Sir!" Sadly,looks like the virus spreads faster and more in the dark. You have to contend with the curfew for 60 more days. The president also banned political gatherings effective from the midnight of 12th March, 2021. The big question is, will the politicians,President Uhuru included, comply?? Other directives that the president...

For example, try to picture someone else flying with Kate Winslet on the stern of the Titanic. We know this might be hard to believe, but there are some actors and actresses who were replaced all of a sudden. 10.

However, can you imagine Katie, instead of Penny, an aggressive girl next door played by Canadian actress Amanda Walsh? Almost nobody knows, but during the first original pilot of the show that was actually never aired, there was no Penny, but Katie! Kaley Cuoco didn’t get the role of Katie the first time because she was too young, but a year later the casting team called her to audition once...
