Nelly Furtado has announced she’s stepping away from performing her music for the “foreseeable future.”
The shared the career update via an Instagram post shared on Friday, October 24, and reflected on her 25-year career.
“25 years ago today my first album Whoa, Nelly! was released,” Furtado, 46, wrote in the lengthy caption.
Alongside throwback photos from the past two decades, Furtado reflected on the early days of her career.

“25 years later., my music has reached a whole new generation of fans and I couldn’t be happier about that,” she added. “In the year 2000 I remember feeling purpose in hoping some kid would dust off the Whoa, Nelly ! vinyl one day in a record shop and think it was cool or inspiring , so I never could have guessed that there would be so many new ways to discover “old” music in 2025!”
Furtado opened up about how happy she felt about so many people listening to her music over the various decades before announcing her plans to step away from the stage.
“To have so many people rediscovering my music has been surreal and joyful . It’s been so fun embracing this opportunity , getting out on stages again and seeing up close , the true lasting power of good music . It’s made me really believe in magic,” she wrote.
Furtado continued, “All this aside , I have decided to step away from performance for the foreseeable future and pursue some other creative and personal endeavours that I feel would better suit this next phase of my life. I have enjoyed my career immensely , and I still love writing music as I have always seen it as a hobby I was lucky enough to make into a career . I’ll identify as a songwriter forever.”
The “Maneater” singer concluded the post by sharing her gratitude for her fans, her collaborators and anyone else who helped her make her “pop dreams come true.”
“I’m grateful for all the years of fun , community and wonder,” she wrote. “Endless gratitude to anyone who has ever listened and vibrated with my music and attended any of my shows . I love you and your open hearts.

Earlier this year, Furtado spoke about how the pressures of her career affected how she is expected to look.
Hitting back at body-shamers, the “Say it Right” singer candidly spoke about self-love via an empowering Instagram post.
“This year I became aware of the aesthetic pressure of my work in a brand new way, while simultaneously I experienced new levels of self-love and genuine confidence from within,” she wrote in the post’s caption. “For whoever cares, I have never had any face or body surgeries or augmentation, besides for veneers on the top row of my teeth, quite recently.”
In the post, Furtado also denied ever having “face or lip injections or fillers.”
“My New Year’s message for 2025, is express yourself freely, celebrate your individuality and know that it’s perfectly OK to be OK with what you see in the mirror, and it’s also OK to want something different,” she continued. “We are all cute little humans just bouncing around the earth looking for hugs.”

Tanzania, a nation once hailed for its relative stability in East Africa, now finds itself at a crossroads where the very essence of democracy is being questioned.
As the country approaches its October 29 election, President Samia Suluhu Hassan stands poised to seek re-election under circumstances that many observers describe as deeply troubling.
What was anticipated to be a competitive democratic exercise has instead turned into what appears to be a one-woman show, with the president running virtually unopposed.
This stark reality raises critical concerns about the health of democracy in Tanzania and the future trajectory of political governance in the country.
President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s ascent to the presidency in March 2021 was historic. As Tanzania’s first female president, she inherited a nation with a mixed record on political freedoms and human rights.
Her leadership was initially met with cautious optimism, both domestically and internationally. Yet, as the 2025 elections approach, the political landscape reveals a grim picture.
Opposition candidates, who in a healthy democracy would challenge the incumbent and offer alternatives to voters, have been systematically sidelined. Reports of candidates being jailed, disqualified on dubious grounds, or disappearing under suspicious circumstances have cast a shadow over the electoral process.
The disappearance of major political figures removes not only competition but also critical voices that represent diverse viewpoints and the aspirations of the Tanzanian people.
The absence of viable opposition candidates essentially guarantees the president’s continuation in office, but at what cost? Democracy thrives on competition, debate, and the ability of people to choose from a range of options.
When this fundamental principle is compromised, elections lose their meaning and become exercises in formality rather than genuine expressions of the popular will.
Tanzania’s upcoming election threatens to become an emblematic example of this erosion, where the ballot paper no longer reflects choice but a predetermined outcome.
Adding to the troubling picture is the government’s decision to restrict social media platforms until after the elections.
In the digital age, social media serves as a powerful tool for political engagement, enabling citizens to share information, debate policies, and hold leaders accountable.
By shutting down these platforms, the government effectively muzzles dissent and limits access to independent information.
This tactic not only hampers free expression but also undermines transparency, which is vital for a fair electoral process.
When the flow of information is controlled and dissenting voices are silenced, the electorate is deprived of the full scope of perspectives necessary to make informed decisions.
The chilling effect on political discourse can be seen in the broader context of Tanzania’s political environment. Fear has replaced open debate, and suspicion clouds the air.
When opposition figures vanish or face intimidation, it sends a clear message to others that political dissent is unsafe.
This climate discourages participation and weakens the foundations of democratic pluralism.
Moreover, it raises ethical and moral questions about the use of power and the responsibilities of leadership in a society that values justice and fairness.
African proverbs poignantly capture the essence of this predicament.
“The moon shines brighter when stars are not banned,” reminds us that leadership is best when it coexists with others who can shine alongside it. “Justice does not live where only one side is allowed to speak,” and “When only one bird sings, the forest silence becomes suspicious,” both echo the dangers of monopolizing political expression.
These sayings are not just cultural wisdom; they serve as a mirror reflecting the current state of Tanzanian democracy.
At this critical juncture, it is essential to consider the broader implications.
A leader who fears opposition fears her own reflection, the saying goes, implying that true leadership is confident enough to withstand scrutiny and challenge. Fairness, transparency, and respect for diverse opinions are hallmarks of genuine power.
When elections become a solo performance, the audience—the people—are left powerless, and the legitimacy of the government is called into question. The greed for unchecked power ultimately imprisons a nation, stifling progress and breeding discontent.
For Tanzania, the path forward requires a recommitment to democratic norms.
This includes ensuring that all political actors, regardless of affiliation, can participate freely and safely in the electoral process.
It means lifting restrictions on communication channels and fostering an environment where debate and dissent are not only tolerated but welcomed as expressions of loyalty to the nation’s growth and well-being.
President Samia Suluhu Hassan, as the country’s leader, holds significant influence in shaping this future.
True power lies not in silencing opposition but in embracing it as a vital component of governance.
The upcoming election in Tanzania is more than a political event; it is a test of the nation’s democratic resilience.
The sidelining of opposition, the suppression of social media, and the atmosphere of fear threaten to reduce democracy to a hollow ritual. Yet, the spirit of democracy is resilient, and the voices of the people, even when muted, have a way of resurfacing.
For Tanzania to thrive and for its democracy to regain its strength, the leadership must heed the lessons embedded in African wisdom and global democratic principles: fairness, inclusivity, and respect for all voices are the foundation on which true power rests.
If these are ignored, the nation risks imprisoning itself in a cycle of authoritarianism that benefits none but the few.
The time to act is now, before the solo performance becomes a permanent silence.

Cheryl Burke has Carrie Ann Inaba’s back as the Dancing With The Stars judge continues to face backlash for her scoring on the show.
The former pro, 41, was asked by Variety in an interview published on Friday, October 24 about how she felt about the criticism aimed at Inaba for her judging feedback.
“I agree that they go hard on her vs. the two men sitting there,” Burke told the outlet, referring to DWTS judges Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough.
Burke continued, “And I think that’s always been the case, and she has openly talked about it, how it’s harder for her. I’ve experienced it, but in a different way; I’m outspoken about something vs. somebody who is a man, I do see the difference. But you don’t do it for the outside reaction. At the end of the day, this is her job, and she’s doing her job, and she’s doing it well.”
Carrie Ann Inaba Speaks Out After Missing ‘DWTS’ Season 34 Premiere
The dancer, who appeared on 20 seasons of the dancing competition, will return to DWTS as a guest judge on the Tuesday, October 28 Halloween episode.
She opened up to Variety about how she will approach judging the stars when it’s her turn to provide feedback.
“I hope to be empowering and encouraging, but of course, I’m going to be constructive. I have 15 seconds to talk! That’s going to be the hardest part for me. Ultimately, I want to help these people,” she told the outlet.
Burke added, “Yes, we’re going to compliment them if they did a great job. But I think for me, I really want to get into the technical aspect of things, regardless of the theme. I’m looking for authenticity between the two people dancing with one another, authenticity to the style of dance that was assigned.”
For her part, Inaba, 57, has been in the firing line for what some DWTS viewers have deemed “harsh” scoring and feedback.
Inaba addressed the criticism via a comment on her Instagram page on October 15.
“It’s okay to disagree about what we see. That’s what makes our show great,” she wrote at the time. “You have a say in the matter. We want you to vote for what you love and believe in. I appreciate your comment and the way you expressed your feelings. ❤️ thank you for your passion and your opinion.”
Is Carrie Ann Inaba Being Replaced With Guest Judge for ‘DWTS’ Premiere?
In a 2023 interview with Parade, Inaba isn’t she didn’t take the backlash – or audience members booing her – to heart.
“The whole point is we want people to have their opinions. The reason why people get invested in this competition is because they have an opinion, and it matters,” she told the outlet at the time. “We are one of the few [shows where ] judges actually hold up scores. So, what we do matters, but also what everybody does at home matters. So, it’s good that they boo. I think it shows that they’re really supporting somebody.”
Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.

Joy-Anna Duggar is hitting back after some of her followers criticized a decision she made involving her daughter.
Posting via her Instagram Stories on Friday, October 24, Duggar, 27, reshared a previous post she had uploaded. In the original post, Duggar had mentioned she would be getting rid of her daughter’s hot pink bedroom walls.
In the original post, Duggar shared a photo of her five-year-old daughter Evelyn’s bedroom, noting the color will soon be transformed into a more neutral hue as the family renovates their home.
“Definitely not going for this style..Evelyn is sad to see the bright pink go but I promised her we will make her room sooo cute!” Duggar captioned the post at the time. “I’m thinking somewhere in between French country/cottage core! I want very natural tones throughout the house with lots of antique pieces. A very lived in look!”
Joy-Anna Duggar Defends How She Held Daughter in Photo: I Won’t ‘Drop Her’
Following the post, Duggar received critical comments from some of her followers, which she shared via her Instagram Story.
“Sad you don’t let your kids express themselves. She loves the color but of course you have to crush her creativity #badparenting,” one comment read. Another follower added, “It’s so sad you’re forcing her style on her.”
Duggar hit back at these comments and shared more context surrounding her decision to get rid of the bright color.
“OK, I got these comments on my post yesterday… going to clarify this. We’re redoing the WHOLE house… NEW drywall, new paint, everything,” Duggar wrote. “So the bright pink walls are going bye-bye. We may pick out a fun color later, but for now I’m keeping things neutral until the renovation’s done.”
Defending her parenting choices, Duggar continued, “She still gets to pick the fun stuff like decor and bedding. But saying no to neon walls doesn’t make me a bad mom.”
Duggar and husband Austin Forsyth welcomed Evelyn in 2020. They are also parents to sons Gideon and Gunner, who were born in 2018 and 2023 respectively.
In 2019, the couple suffered a heartbreaking loss with the stillbirth of their daughter Annabell at 20 weeks.
Duggar opened up about the loss in a July episode of the “Jinger and Jeremy” podcast.
“I guess looking back, I did have kind of a gut feeling of something may not be right,” she recalled on the podcast. “But also I’m like, ‘I don’t want to over exaggerate.’ Like, I don’t want to read into things. … I just remember feeling so numb leaving the ultrasound. … I was so scared.”
Duggar Sisters Clapping Back at Parenting Police Over the Years
Duggar noted that the process of having to deliver Annabell at 20 process was particularly emotional.
“That was extremely hard, having to go through the whole delivery process,” she said. “I’m so thankful that I had [my mom] there that had been through it before … and I had a really good support team, but even with all of that, it was extremely difficult.”
Duggar is the ninth child of Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar and is best known for appearing on TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On.

The hard truth is that the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) is not merely a political entity as it masquerades. It is, in reality, a terrorist group camouflaged within the trappings of politics, spreading fear, chaos, and division among Malawians.
For decades, this group has inflicted untold suffering on innocent citizens, often under the very noses of law enforcement, who have been either complicit or ineffective in curbing their reign of terror.
The arrival of His Excellency Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika marks a much-needed turning point, a beacon of hope for a nation long held hostage by MCP’s violent and oppressive tactics.
The hard truth is that MCP’s history is steeped in terror and brutality. During the era of Hastings Kamuzu Banda, the MCP’s violent tendencies were already evident.
The party’s operations were synonymous with intimidation, suppression, and brutal crackdowns on dissenters.
The people of Malawi lived in constant fear of MCP’s wrath—fear that was not unfounded but brutally justified by the party’s actions.
When Bakili Muluzi’s government finally ousted MCP from power, many hoped that the dark days of terror were behind the nation.
Yet, MCP patiently waited in the shadows, only to re-emerge in 2020 with a dangerous alliance with UTM and other minor parties, a coalition that was more strategic than democratic.
The hard truth is that this alliance was a smokescreen to regain power and dismantle opposition from within.
MCP cunningly eliminated UTM’s influence, installing only its loyalists in strategic government positions.
This was not governance; it was a takeover by a terror syndicate disguised as a political party. The terror inflicted on Malawians under MCP’s renewed leadership is well documented and undeniable.
Pastor Moses Shumba’s brutal manhandling for the “offense” of wearing a blue suit is one glaring example of how MCP enforces conformity through violence.
The hard truth is that such acts are not isolated incidents but rather a pattern of terror tactics designed to intimidate, silence, and subjugate.
The hard truth is that Silvester Namiwa’s assault in broad daylight, witnessed and unchallenged by police officers, further exposes the lawlessness and flagrant impunity with which MCP operates. This is not political rivalry—it is terror.
Worse still, the MCP thugs did not stop there; they audaciously attacked the vehicle of Grace Kwelepeta, the woman member of parliament for Zomba Malosa, deflating tires and damaging the car in an act of blatant intimidation meant to send a message to anyone opposing MCP’s agenda.
The hard truth is that the terror unleashed by MCP is not confined to urban centers or political figures alone.
In rural Dowa, innocent women were hacked and severely injured by MCP militants, an act so heinous it demands national outrage.
It took the unwavering courage and leadership of the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) Director of Women, Honorable Mary Navicha, to rally support and comfort these victims. Yet, shockingly, none of the perpetrators were arrested or brought to justice.
The hard truth is that MCP operates with a shield of immunity, protected by a fearsome network that intimidates law enforcement and judiciary alike. But that time is over.
The hard truth is that MCP’s reign of terror extends beyond physical violence.
Their strategy included sowing discord, spreading misinformation, and eroding the democratic institutions meant to safeguard the nation.
MCP’s repeated disruptions of parliamentary processes, including their violent evasion and sabotage of official proceedings, paralyzed governance and undermined the rule of law.
This is not the behavior of a legitimate political party—it is the conduct of a terrorist faction bent on destabilizing the country for its own gain.
The hard truth is that the people of Malawi deserve better than this reign of terror.
They deserve a political environment where ideas are debated peacefully, where leaders are chosen through free and fair elections, and where the rule of law is respected. MCP’s continued existence in its current form is a direct threat to these fundamental democratic principles.
It is a cancer that must be excised to allow Malawi to heal and flourish.
The hard truth is that deregistration of MCP is not just a political necessity; it is a moral imperative.
Allowing a terrorist group to operate under the guise of a political party normalizes violence, encourages impunity, and sends a dangerous message both domestically and internationally.
It undermines Malawi’s credibility as a democratic nation committed to peace and justice. Deregistration is the first step toward restoring order and protecting the citizens from further harm.
The hard truth is that the coming to power of Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika is the salvation Malawi desperately needs.
His leadership represents a break from the past—a promise of stability, accountability, and respect for human rights.
Under his stewardship, there is hope for renewed peace and progress, a chance to rebuild a nation battered by the MCP’s terror tactics.
Mutharika’s administration offers a path toward justice for victims and a firm stance against those who threaten Malawi’s unity and sovereignty.
The hard truth is that only with decisive action against MCP can Malawi move forward.
The government, law enforcement agencies, and civil society must unite to expose and dismantle this terror network.
The international community should also play a role in supporting Malawi’s efforts to eradicate political violence and uphold democratic values.
The people’s patience has worn thin; they demand safety, justice, and a government that serves their interests rather than terrorizes them.
The hard truth is that MCP’s terror has left scars on Malawians’ psyche and society. Healing requires courage and commitment to truth.
It demands that we call out terror disguised as politics for what it is and take firm steps to prevent its recurrence. Malawi’s future depends on it.
The Malawi Congress Party is not a political party but a terrorist group terrorizing its own people with impunity.
The hard truth is that deregistration is the only viable solution to end this menace.
The coming of Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika is a beacon of hope, promising a new dawn for Malawi—a nation free from terror, free to prosper, free to live in peace. It is time to stand with this hope and reject the terror that MCP represents. Malawi deserves nothing less.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has announced that fans will enjoy free entry to the Bingu National Stadium for the second leg of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifier between Malawi’s Scorchers and Angola this Tuesday.
FAM President Fleetwood Haiya made the announcement after the Scorchers touched down at Kamuzu International Airport on Saturday night following their goalless first-leg encounter in Luanda.
Haiya emphasized that the free-entry initiative applies to open stands only, saying it is part of FAM’s effort to give Malawians an opportunity to fully back their national women’s team in this crucial fixture.
“We want every Malawian to come out in large numbers and show love for the Scorchers. These girls have worked hard and deserve our full support as they fight for a spot at the 2026 WAFCON,” Haiya said.
The Scorchers received a heroes’ welcome at the airport, where their official sponsors, National Bank of Malawi (NBM) Plc, organized a warm reception complete with music and cheers.
The bank reaffirmed its commitment to promoting women’s football, describing the team’s determination in Angola as a source of pride for the nation.
Team captain Tabitha Chawinga expressed gratitude to FAM and supporters, saying the free-entry gesture will serve as motivation for the players to deliver victory at home.
“Playing in front of a packed Bingu Stadium will give us that extra push. We are ready to finish the job,” she said.
The Tuesday encounter is expected to draw thousands of supporters, with fans already mobilizing through social media to paint the stands red and white the Scorchers’ national colors.
Malawi’s technical panel, led by head coach Lovemore Fazili, remains confident of a strong performance, citing the team’s solid display in the away fixture.
“We created good chances in Angola. At home, with the crowd behind us, we believe the goals will come,” Fazili noted.
Security and logistics preparations are reportedly underway, with FAM working closely with stadium management and law enforcement to ensure smooth entry and safety for all spectators.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Malawi Parliament is another arm of government under legislation whose leadership is key in shaping oversight roles in all aspects of governance.
Following September 16, General elections, has witnessed many lawmakers failing to retain seats in their constituencies.
Big shots have fallen in the last elections including Bright Msaka, Atupele Muluzi, Nicholas Dausi, Ken Zikhale Ng’oma, Abida Mia, Alfred Jiya, Jessie Kabwila, Khumbize Kandodo, Madalitso Kazombo, Ken Kandodo, Peter Mukhitho and others.
There are a number of reasons why many failed to secure seats despite enough resources used.
Many failed to meet constituents expectations both in Malawi Parliament and out.
There as days are closer to elect Parliament leadership, members must put in place trusted, credible and integrity personnel for great out.
This article is analyzing two members who are vying for the Speakership
We are comparing Peter Dimba and Sameer Suleman
Sameer Suleman
The candidate for the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) position for the speaker Hon Sameer Suleman was kicked out of Football Association of Malawi because he doesn’t have Malawi School Certificate of Education.
He has questionable and unpredictable and behaviour with swing moods.
Suleman was usually suspended from the Pariament because of the unbecoming behaviour ,which includes fighting other legislators in the chamber infront of the cameras.
The choice is up to the members of Parliament to make the house by choosing Dimba or turn the house into dishonorable and anarchy by electing Suleman on September 29.
It is not a fight for a political power in 224 strong house between the DPP and the MCP ,but it is a matter of bringing dignity to the house and make Malawi greater again.

The Bachelor’s Grant Ellis is ready to kiss and tell about his celibacy journey.
Weeks after revealing on social media that he is abstaining from sex until he finds the right partner, Ellis, 31, shared insight into his decision.
“I’ve been in two [relationships] my whole life. When I do, I put my all into it,” he shared on the Friday, October 24, episode of PodcastOne’s “When Reality Hits” podcast. “I want it to be meaningful and I want it to last, so I’m trying the best I can to withhold until I find my right person.”
After being eliminated on Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette, Ellis was named the lead of season 29 of The Bachelor. Although he got engaged to Juliana Pasquarosa during the March finale, the duo split three months later.
Grant Ellis Was Taking Juliana Engagement ‘Day by Day’ Before Split
“I’m doing my best, and I want my next relationship to be the one,” Ellis shared with podcast host Brittany Cartwright. “If you’re not it, I’m just not gonna.”
When cupid does strike, Ellis joked that he will be ready to connect with his forever partner.
“When we do have sex, it will be great,” he said with a laugh. “I’m very good, but I’m waiting.”
On October 12, Ellis surprised some followers when he posted a video to social media confirming he was celibate. In his message, the former professional basketball player opened up about his personal decision to wait for sex.
“Me being the most recent Bachelor, I feel like I have a little authority in the dating space being that the show is about dating,” he explained. “I think finding something serious — finding something that’s worth pursuing — is really hard, especially out here in LA and major cities like New York.”
While choosing to be celibate can be “hard,” Ellis believes he’s making the right decision for himself.
“I’m a man,” he shared. “I definitely have my urges, my desires, and I’m just being fully transparent. I have messed up in the past.”
According to Ellis, what keeps him on the journey is his relationship with God.
“Mainly it’s because of my faith. … God knows the desires of your heart and he knows what makes you happy,” he explained. “The same God that knows how to make you happy, He would know how to give you a partner without having to test drive things.”

This isn’t the first time Ellis has been open about his views on sex and intimacy.
During an interview with ABC’s former Bachelor Nick Viall, Ellis said he handled his fantasy suites with care and understanding.
“People are going to think I’m a player or this or that — or that I’m trying to get my rocks off,” Ellis said on a March episode of “The Viall Files” podcast. “I wasn’t. I went in there with real intentions and prior to that, I was celibate for a year. I got out of a seven-year relationship and I was hurting, so, like, sex is great but I wanted to make sure it was with someone who was my person and then we could f*** all the time.”
