Njerae has released two singles at once, and the pairing tells a fuller story than either track could alone. “On My Own,” featuring KayCyy, and “Let Them Know” arrived together today, giving listeners a portrait of a woman who can walk away from what hurts her and still make room for what surprises her. The two records sit on opposite ends of the same emotional map. “On My Own” leans into self worth and the decision to choose yourself. “Let Them Know” leans into surrender, the moment a guarded person lets a new connection show. Two songs, two emotional truths…

Hemas Holdings PLC has entered the East African market, acquiring a 75% stake in Twiga Stationers & Printers Limited for USD 16.2 million.

Hemas completed the purchase through its subsidiary Atlas Axillia Company,…

That single line item explains most of the profit decline. Pre-tax profit from continuing operations dropped 42.5% to…

YouTube and TikTok accounted for 84 percent of that total.
