“We have this whole agreement [that] when he wants to have a baby or whatever, I’m going to carry the baby,” Haddish told Us. “I’ve always been saying to him, let’s have a baby. Let’s have a baby.”

Haddish and Lee, 47, sent the internet into a frenzy back in August when the two shared a photo on Instagram of them posing with an infant. The post, which now has over 246,000 likes and 4,000 comments, was captioned: “Cats out the bag ❤️.” Many fans and fellow celebrities were left wondering what this meant for the duo.

Who Is Jason Lee? Meet the Podcaster Friends With Tiffany Haddish

Haddish was married to William Stewart from 2008 until she filed for divorce in 2011. The divorce was finalized two years later. Haddish dated rapper Common from 2020 to 2021 after they met on the set of action-comedy The Kitchen, in which they starred alongside Elisabeth Moss, Domhnall Gleeson, Margo Martindale and more.

Haddish told The Washington Post in 2023 that Common, 53, was her “healthiest” relationship, despite him breaking up with her over the phone.

“[It was] the healthiest, the funnest [sic] relationship I’ve ever had,” Haddish shared in the interview with The Post. “It’s where I felt safest out of all the relationships I’ve ever had.”

In May 2024 Haddish spoke about her dating preferences on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast.

“I don’t think I’ll ever f*** a movie star. Ever,” Haddish said. “I fed an entertainer. I don’t think I’ll ever do that again. I think I’ll f one again, but never in a relationship.”

Haddish told Us that a future partner needs to have a “good credit score,” and also be an “excellent communicator.”

“They need to have an EIN [Employer Identification Number]. I need to know that they know how to handle multiple personalities at one time,” Haddish said. “So that’s why I need them to have an EIN with employees and know how to motivate people to move forward to do great things. Cause that’s what I’m going to need.”

Haddish also provided recent insight on what else she’s looking for in future relationships in the trailer for her new Peacock series, Tiffany Haddish Goes Off. In the unscripted series, which is set to premiere on Thursday, November 13, Haddish and three of her childhood friends travel throughout Africa on the ultimate girls trip.

In the trailer, one of Haddish’s friends asks her, “What would you want your man to call you?” To which Haddish responds: “Empress of the universe.”

Inspired by the 2017 film Girls Trip, which starred Haddish alongside, Regina Hall, Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett Smith, the six-episode docuseries seems to include heartwarming moments between Haddish and her girlfriends, Selena Martin, Shermona Long and Sparkle Clark, as well as a tease to a potential wedding ceremony with Haddish upfront and center.

Malawi Law Society chides Mutharika for appointing suspected “Rotten eggs” into public service

Posted on by admin

Airtel Malawi

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The Malawi Law Society (MLS) has raised serious concerns over President Peter Mutharika’s appointment of some individuals into high-ranking public offices before they have been cleared of allegations of corruption and other criminal activities.

In a public statement issued on October 29, 2025, the Society warned that such appointments pose a threat to public confidence in the Government’s commitment to uphold the rule of law and combat corruption.

American Expressi

The statement was part of a broader reflection on public expectations following the September 2025 general elections.

According to the MLS, while it recognizes the legal principle that every person is presumed innocent until proven guilty, this presumption should not be used as a shield to justify questionable appointments.

The Society emphasized that leadership positions must be entrusted only to individuals with unquestionable integrity and a clean record.

“Such appointments risk undermining public confidence in the Government’s commitment to the rule of law and its declared stance against corruption,” the Society said, urging authorities to adopt a cautious and principled approach when filling key public roles.

The MLS further stated that the credibility of any administration is reflected in the people it entrusts with public responsibility.

By appointing individuals facing corruption allegations, the government risks sending mixed signals about its seriousness in fighting graft and promoting accountability.

It noted that Malawi continues to struggle with deep-rooted corruption in the public sector, and careless decisions in leadership appointments could weaken the progress made toward integrity and transparency. The Society therefore encouraged the administration to use appointments as an opportunity to rebuild trust between citizens and the government.

The statement also highlighted that anti-corruption efforts require a united and uncompromising front, where no individual or political ally is seen as being above scrutiny.

MLS said this approach will not only strengthen public confidence but also demonstrate the government’s genuine commitment to good governance.

Furthermore, the Society appealed to relevant oversight institutions, including the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) and the Office of the Ombudsman, to remain vigilant and proactive in scrutinizing public appointments and ensuring that merit, not political loyalty, guides decision-making.

The MLS called on all Malawians to demand accountability and uphold integrity in public life, stressing that corruption weakens institutions, deters investment and undermines national development. It said every citizen has a duty to support transparency and ethical leadership.

In conclusion, the Malawi Law Society reiterated its call for a “true zero tolerance attitude” toward corruption, urging the government to ensure that appointments into public office reflect honesty, professionalism and respect for the rule of law.

The Society maintained that lasting reform will only be achieved if the fight against corruption starts from the top.

Catherine Gotani Hara’s fear of facing the music: A lesson in accountability

Posted on by admin

Airtel Malawi

The ascension of Sameer Suleman and Victor Musowa to the positions of Speaker and First Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, respectively, has sent ripples through the corridors of power in Malawi.

One notable figure who appears to be losing sleep over this development is none other than former Speaker Catherine Gotani Hara.

American Expressi

According to sources close to the matter, Hara is said to be wary of the new leadership, fearing that she will be held accountable for her actions during her tenure as Speaker.

It’s no secret that Hara’s tenure was marked by controversy and allegations of bias.

Her propensity for suspending opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) without valid reasons sparked widespread criticism, with many accusing her of undermining the democratic process.

The opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) was particularly vocal about her perceived bias, alleging that she was more interested in serving the interests of the then-ruling party than in upholding the rules of Parliament.

Given her track record, it’s hardly surprising that Hara would be anxious about the new leadership.

Sameer Suleman, the new Speaker, has already put the cat among the pigeons with his assertion that “let bygones be bygones.” While this might be seen as a gesture of goodwill, it’s clear that Hara is not convinced.

She’s reportedly fearful that she will face the music for her actions, and rightly so.

In an interview with this reporter, Suleman emphasized his commitment to professionalism and fairness in the discharge of his duties.

“We will serve the MPs with professionalism guided by house rules and standing orders, not personal wishes,” he said.

Victor Musowa echoed these sentiments, stating that they have no plans to punish Hara but will instead focus on executing their duties with utmost diligence.

This commitment to professionalism is precisely what Malawi’s Parliament needs. For too long, the House has been plagued by partisan bickering and accusations of bias.

The new leadership has a golden opportunity to restore the dignity of the institution and ensure that it serves the people of Malawi, rather than the interests of a particular party or individual.

It’s worth noting that Hara’s fears are not entirely unfounded. During her tenure, she consistently demonstrated a disregard for the rules and conventions of Parliament.

Her actions were often seen as arbitrary and capricious, and her treatment of opposition MPs was particularly harsh.

It’s hard to imagine that she would be concerned about facing accountability for her actions when she’s been given a free pass for so long.

In light of this, it’s commendable that Suleman and Musowa are taking a different approach.

By committing to professionalism and fairness, they’re sending a strong signal that things will be done differently under their watch.

This is a welcome development, and one that should be applauded by all those who believe in the importance of accountability and transparency in government.

As the new leadership settles into their roles, it’s essential that they remain committed to their stated principles.

The people of Malawi are watching, and they expect nothing but the best from their elected representatives.

The days of partisan bickering and bias should be behind us. It’s time for a new era of professionalism and accountability in Parliament.

Catherine Gotani Hara would do well to take a leaf from the new leadership’s book.

Rather than fearing accountability, she should take this opportunity to reflect on her actions and ensure that she never again conducts herself in a manner that undermines the integrity of Parliament.

The people of Malawi deserve better, and it’s time that their elected representatives started acting like it.

The ascension of Sameer Suleman and Victor Musowa to the leadership of the National Assembly is a welcome development.

Their commitment to professionalism and fairness is a breath of fresh air, and it’s something that should be commended.

As they settle into their roles, it’s essential that they remain true to their word and ensure that Parliament serves the people of Malawi, rather than the interests of a particular party or individual.

The days of partisan bickering and bias should be behind us, and it’s time for a new era of accountability and transparency in government.

Widowhood Practices: Forcing Widows to Drink ‘Corpse Water’ Must Stop

Forcing Widows to Drink ‘Corpse Water’ Must Stop

Airtel Malawi

By Leo Igwe

The Advocacy for Alleged Witches urges state and traditional authorities to take measures against harmful widowhood practices. This appeal has become necessary following an incident in Imo state where relatives tried to force a widow, Mrs Chika Ndubisi, to go through a harmful ritual in Awo-Omamma, in Oru East Local Government Area. The Advocacy for Alleged Witches commends the Imo state government for promptly intervening and ensuring that this widow, accused of killing her husband through magic, did not drink the water used in washing the corpse.

American Expressi

Some days ago, a local advocate drew the attention of the AfAW to this unfortunate development. AfAW quickly notified the police, the Imo state chapter of the International Federation of Women Lawyers, the National Human Rights Commission, and other civil society organizations. Today, we have it on authority that the state government successfully intervened and rescued the widow.

In some parts of southern Nigeria, women are subjected to harmful widowhood practices when their husbands pass away. They are often accused of being responsible for the death and forced to drink the water used in bathing the corpse to prove their innocence. This ritual leads to their death or health damage. 

AfAW has recently intervened in similar cases. In Mbano, also in Imo state, AfAW is supporting a widow, Regina, who was subjected to a similar ritual. Luckily, Regina survived. In Ebonyi state, AfAW is assisting another widow, Nnennaya Donatus-Chukwu, who was subjected to similar abusive treatment. In this case, the police intervened and charged the perpetrators in court. 

AfAW urges the public to be vigilant when people die, especially when men and husbands pass away in families and communities. People should alert authorities to any accusations of witchcraft or any attempt to force widows or females to go through this obnoxious ritual. Forcing widows to drink the water used in washing a corpse is a harmful traditional and cultural practice. 

State authorities should strive to protect vulnerable women and widows in the region. The police and courts should diligently investigate and prosecute those involved in this horrific act. They should punish perpetrators to serve as a deterrent to others.

No to forcing widows to drink the water used in washing a corpse.

No to harmful widowhood practices in Nigeria. No to trial by ordeal.

“Serve Malawians with integrity, dignity”-NAP chair Kondwani advises Speaker Suleiman

Posted on by admin

Airtel Malawi

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The country’s civil rights group under the banner, National Advocacy Platform (NAP) has advised newly elected Malawi Parliament Speaker Sameer Suleiman to serve Malawian with integrity, dignity.

An appeal comes barely hours after Suleiman was as the head of National Assembly.

American Expressi

Suleiman who is governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) beat Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Peter Dimba.

Victor Musowa and Esther Jolobala occupy First and Second Deputy Speaker slots respectively.

NAP Chairperson Benedicto Kondowe told The Maravi Post on Thursday morning that Suleiman must exercise his power to put the nation at heart in Parliament.

“Suleman’s victory, as the DPP-sponsored candidate, underscores the ruling party’s strong organizational grip and its ability to consolidate a parliamentary majority early in the new term.

“It is a decisive political statement of control and cohesion within the governing ranks—one that sets the tone for the new Parliament. That said, the debate has been settled through a secret ballot, and nothing can overturn the free will of the House,” says NAP Chairperson.

Kondowe appeals, “What now remains is to offer counsel to the new Speaker: to uphold the dignity and honour that the August House embodies. He has the nation to serve—millions who stand behind his strategic role—and the chance to prove the doubters wrong by leading the House with humility, fairness, and a genuine spirit of service”.

NAP urges further, “Suleiman leadership will be judged not by how well he serves the ruling party, but by how strongly he upholds the authority and credibility of Parliament as a national institution above partisan lines.

“His new role is both a test and an opportunity—to learn, adapt, and refine the leadership skills necessary for the full and impartial discharge of his duties. Wishing him every success in this noble responsibility”.

Meanwhile, President Peter Mutharika has appointed Jappie Mhango as Leader of The House.
