Senegal beats Egypt, wins African Cup of Nations in penalty

Sadio Mane netted the winning spot-kick as Senegal beat Egypt 4-2 on penalties to clinch their first-ever Africa Cup of Nations after a 0-0 draw. The Liverpool forward had seen a seventh-minute penalty saved by Egypt keeper Gabaski but Mane held his nerve when he returned in the shootout. Chelsea's Edouard Mendy denied Mohanad Lasheen to give Mane the chance to win it in Yaounde's Olembe Stadium. Gabaski had made three good saves from Senegal's Bamba Dieng in extra time. All four of Egypt's knockout games at the tournament went the distance, and the North Africans had beaten Ivory Coast and host Cameroon on spot-kicks en route to the final. Gabaski had already saved four penalties at the tournament by the time the match went to a shootout, but on this occasion, the 33-y...

Joho’s wife files for divorce at Kadhi’s Court

Mombasa’s Governor Hassan Joho's paradise after his wife of 10 years filed for divorce. Madina Giovanni Fazzini said her marriage to Joho was beyond reconciliation as it had broken down irretrievably with no chance of revival. Fazzini said each party had moved on with their separate lives and therefore there was need for official divorce. “There is no hope or possibility of reconciliation or compromise of whatsoever nature between me and the governor,” reads part of the suit. Fazzini, who is reportedly an Italian, filed a suit at the Kadhi’s court in Mombasa on January 26 through Aziz M Ngare law firm. In her affidavit, the mother of two said she got married to the flamboyant politician in February 2011 and they were blessed with two children. She...

The National Treasury is spending Sh38 billion to bailout Kenya Airways, Kenya Power and universities.

The National Treasury is spending Sh38 billion to bailout Kenya Airways, Kenya Power and universities. Treasury is seeking the approval of the National Assembly for an extra Sh126 billion spent in this year’s budget. KQ has been allocated a chunk of the additional amount at Sh26 billion followed by expenditures on fuel subsidy that took up Sh24 billion. Allocation to Kenya Airways constituted the highest of the Treasury’s extra spending, most of which was drawn from a reduction in marine transport projects at Sh15 billion. “The reduction is on account of rationalisation of slow-moving projects,” Yatani said, adding that KQ allocation is to help cater to the airline’s expenditures. Universities are also set for a cash boost with the allocation of Sh8.5 billion more to ca...

Kanye West seen Happy Chatting with Women in Malibu

Kanye West has lots of drama with Kim Kardashian at the moment ... but he looks like a man without a care in the world, at least while he's surrounded by hot chicks at the beach. Ye was all laughs and smiles as he chatted up some sexy women Sunday, soaking up golden hour on an oceanfront balcony at Soho's Little Beach House Malibu. Kanye looks happy as a clam here ... just check out the gallery and the videos ... and it's worth noting the ladies he's talking to are NOT girlfriend Julia Fox, but they are strikingly similar. Guess Ye's got a type. There are lots of reasons for Kanye to be stressing about Kim ... the kids, the divorce, Pete Davidson -- but those all seem, at least temporarily, forgotten in the right seaside setting ... with the right company. Outside the rest...

Simon Cowell Hospitalized with Broken Bones After Another E-Bike Crash

Simon Cowell did it again ... he crashed his e-bike and landed in the hospital with broken bones. Sources tell TMZ ... Simon was tooling around on the bike in London last Thursday when he turned a sharp corner ... or at least he tried to turn. The road was wet and the tires went out from under him and he crashed to the ground. We're told Simon broke his left arm and badly bruised his cheek. He may have also have suffered a concussion. Simon went to the hospital where he was treated and released the same day, sporting a bright yellow cast. As we reported, this was not Simon's first crash ... in August, 2020, he got a brand-spankin' new e-bike and literally got on it in his driveway and it lunged forward, crashing and as a result, Simon broke his back in 3 places. Now, if...

Two fugitives arrested in Nairobi, extradited to face murder charges in UK

Two murder fugitives who were arrested in Nairobi over the weekend have been extradited to face trial in the UK. Mohamud Abdihakim ,24 and Monteiro Mangal 21, both British nationals, were arrested on Sunday in Kilimani, following intelligence leads.

Police said he was stabbed at least twice in the chest before the attackers took flight, a brief by police said.

February expected to be sunny and dry-According to MET

February will be a dry, sunny month, the Metrological Department has said. In its monthly forecast on Monday, Met said Kenyans should expect generally sunny and dry conditions throughout the month.

China quietly locks down area near Beijing with Olympics a week away

Chinese authorities locked down an area neighbouring the capital city of Beijing this week following a handful of reported Covid cases, but made no public announcements about the fresh restrictions with just a week until the Winter Olympics. Around 1.2 million people in Xiong'an New Area -- a new economic zone 100 kilometres southwest of Beijing -- are no longer allowed to enter or leave their residential compounds, local virus prevention staff confirmed to AFP on Friday January 28. While recent lockdowns in China are publicly announced and widely reported by state media, the Xiong'an restrictions appear to have been introduced by stealth with no public announcements -- sparking confusion among some residents of the area. "We expect this (lockdown) to last around a week, but ...
