(HARARE, Zimbabwe) — Clinging to his now virtually powerless post, longtime Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe was fired as ruling party chief to cheers Sunday, and was set to discuss his expected exit with the army commander who put the world's oldest head of state under house arrest days ago. A day after huge crowds rallied peacefully in the capital, Harare, for the 93-year-old Mugabe to go, members of the ruling party's Central Committee stood, cheered and sang as Mugabe was recalled. Meeting chair Obert Mpofu referred to him as "outgoing president." The meeting also replaced Mugabe as party chief with the vice president whose firing nearly two weeks ago led the military to step in, and recalled "forever" the unpopular first lady as head of the women's league, party member Chris Mutsvangwa confirmed. That former vice president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, is expected to lead a new government after his formal election as ruling party c...

Warner Bros.-DC's "Justice League" is heading for a respectable -- but hardly blockbuster -- opening weekend of about $95 million at 4,051 North American locations, early estimates showed Friday. The first Friday estimates for "Justice League" are well under the studio's recent guidance, which had been in the $110 million range. Should it come in at the top of current estimates, “Justice League” might finish the weekend in the same range as “The Fate of the Furious” — which launched in April to $98.7 million as the seventh-largest opening of the year. The six films that have cracked the $100 million opening mark this year are Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” at $174.8 million, Disney-Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” at $146.5 million, Warner-New Line’s “It” at $123.4 million, Disney-Marvel’s “Thor: Ragnarok” at $122.7 million, Sony-Marvel’s “Spider-Man: Homecoming” at $117 million, and Warner-DC’s “Wonder Woman” at $103.3 million.

Comedian, Alibaba, has once again, highlighted the dangers in stock for women who decide to stay in abusive marriages because they were hoping that things would change. He cited the recent ugly incident of the lady who suffered serious head injuries after her husband attacked and kicked her out of her home in the middle of the night in Akwa Ibom. He wrote on gram, “And some will say stay… And take it to the Lord in Prayer… every marriage has it’s own challenges… that is just their way. Until the violent spouse kills the partner. Shebi God said till death do us part? Now that the spouse is trying to the partner, people now want person to listen to God. When God said Adam and Eve… they said its Adam and Steve. Did you take that to God and he said ride on? John and Jacob… That’s ok.” The comedian, who apparently was trying to be sarcastic, belongs to the school of thought that discourages women in abusive marriages from enduring. [ Naijaloaded ]
