| Multichoice still hooked in a bitter tax battle with Nigerian authorities Posted: 30 Aug 2021 12:20 AM PDT  We learnt last month, that Nigerian authorities had either frozen or were attempting to freeze the bank accounts of several big companies over tax issues. By far the biggest name on the list was the South African entertainment giant Multichoice. The company is now involved in a heated battle over ₦1.8-trillion (US$4.3 billion) tax bill.In a horrific turn of events for the South African multinational, a tax tribunal headed by the Federal Inland Revenue Service recently ordered the company to pay at least half of the tax bill before it could hear Multichoice's appeal. This seems rather blatantly unfair it's like asking someone to pay an admission of guilt fine before you can hear their appeal in court except this time you are being asked to pay U$2 billion just so your case can be heard.Multichoice has until 23 September to come up with the payment. This is the date to which the case was adjourned to. Naturally Multichoice is disputing the size of this bill and refusing to pay before their case can be heard and all indications are that they do not intend to comply with the latest order from the tribunal.The direction issued by the tax appeal tribunal (TAT) does not compel MultiChoice Nigeria to make payment of 50% of ₦1.8-trillion, being half of the disputed tax assessment which is under appeal,
The direction issued by the TAT … requires MultiChoice Nigeria to deposit with the FIRS an amount equal to the tax paid by MultiChoice Nigeria in the preceding year of assessment or (MultiChoice's emphasis) one half of the disputed tax assessment under appeal, whichever is the lesser amount plus 10%. The lesser amount is the tax paid by MultiChoice Nigeria in the previous assessed year, which is substantially less than the disputed assessment. [MultiChoice] law-abiding corporate citizen and continues to engage constructively with the FIRS in an attempt to resolve this matter.

| Pastor Tunde Bakare – I don’t know why Oyedepo makes noise about his private jet Posted: 30 Aug 2021 12:00 AM PDT  The founder of Citadel Global Community Church, Tunde Bakare, has said he is no enemy of David Oyedepo, the founder of Winners' Chapel, although they share different doctrines and beliefs.Speaking in an interview with TVC on Saturday, August 28, the former vice presidential candidate said, "Oyedepo and I are contemporaries. We were born in the same year. He was born in August, 1954, and I was born in September. We are contemporaries, God has really blessed him and used him.We have differences in doctrines, what we believe, but that does not make us enemies. There is a difference between issues and persons. I have nothing personal against any man of God but I will always defend the truth that I know and I will always make it plain. By the way, when he makes noise about his private jet of a thing, do you know that I once acquired a 1707 with the logo of our church on it? Are you aware of that? But we use it for business. I don't buy a plane to be spending money on it, that I can jump quickly on another and pay little money to where I'm going. We can afford it; we are not envious of them at all."  | ||

| Kano Hisbah --"why i treats the rich and poor differently" Posted: 29 Aug 2021 11:00 PM PDT  The Kano Hisbah Board has explained why it treats the rich and the poor differently while enforcing some of its rules.A director of the Islamic police, Aliyu Kibiya gave the explanation while featuring on a Freedom Radio programme.Kibiya said it is against the tenets of Islam to publicly criticize a leader. He said; "Although we call on everybody in the society to do the right thing, but we make the call on case by case basis. "It is against the tenets of Islam to mount the podium and call out leaders. There are ways to caution a leader without criticizing him in public." The Sharia police recently came under fire for allegedly turning a blind eye to some acts committed by the rich and clamping down on young men from poor homes with stylish haircuts, in addition to banning mannequins at fashion shops. Though the commander-general of the board, Haroun Ibn-Sina told the radio station that they also arrest the children of the rich, he did not cite examples of the children of the rich they've arrested.  | ||

According to her, Michael wants her to be kissing and doing other stuff with him in the house but she rejected it. "I like Michael but don't know him enough to just be his girlfriend. "He wants us to define things just now, he wants kissing and all but I'm not that kind of person I take time before I get deep with anyone and not ready to do that yet. "I'm not a child I'm almost 30 and can't just enter any relationship for the sake of it but he wouldn't wait," Jackie B tells Emmanuel.  | ||
| Tecno Phantom X review. It’s got all the right boxes ticked Posted: 29 Aug 2021 03:49 PM PDT  The Phantom line is Tecno's most technologically advanced lineup of smartphones and the Phantom X I have here is probably their best execution of a Tecno flagship smartphone to date. It has an uncompromising look and feel to it even though some compromises were made to make it what I would call a flagship killer. You can watch the cinematic review belowExteriorThe front is dominated by a 6.7 inch full HD Oled display with a 90Hz refresh rate, some extreme curves to the sides and a pill shaped cut out for the dual selfie cameras, one regular one and a wide angle. The earpiece is a tiny slot between the edge of the display and the metal frame and in that tiny bezel are the usual sensors as well as a selfie flash.Your volume and power buttons are on the right edge but slightly pushed towards the back to accommodate the curved display and I very much love how the back glass and the metal frame neatly divert from their original line to give equal margins of frame above and below the row of buttons.The top edge houses the secondary microphone and the triple slot tray which holds 2 sim cards and an SD card. It also has a rubber ring for improved water resistance even though it does not have an official water resistance certification.
 It's got a 90Hz refresh rate panel which adds to the smooth user experience to the animations when closing apps, switching windows and even gaming. It's pleasant in day-to-day usage. The display is FHD+ and does the job well for general stuff like navigating the UI and going through social media. It's not as sharp as what you'd get from the likes of Samsung, Sony or Xiaomi but most people won't notice.  | ||

| How to use onion juice to grow your hair Posted: 29 Aug 2021 08:00 AM PDT  It is important to note that onion juice has been successfully used for decades to stimulate hair growth.There are people who are naturally gifted with fuller hair; they do not worry themselves about hair loss or hair growth stimulating ingredients.But there are others who constantly battle with falling hair and stunted growth. And it seems like no matter how hard they try to tackle it, the condition will never change. However, it is important to note that onion juice has been successfully used for decades to stimulate hair growth. And this is due to the fact that the plant is rich in sulfur. Sulfur plays a vital role when it comes to hair growth. In fact, it is dubbed the main building block of hair because it improves blood circulation as well as providing the hair follicles with enough nourishment. Recent studies have also shown that onion is endowed with a lot of anti-bacterial properties, and these anti-bacterial properties are known to help combat scalp infection that contributes to hair loss. It is, however, important to highlight here that according to a 2002 study about the use of onion juice for hair loss published by the Journal of Dermatology, participants who applied onion juice twice daily for the period of two months experienced much better hair re-growth rates compared to those who only used tap water. In the study, hair regrowth was observed in 87% of patients treated with onion juice. Here's how to make onion juice for hair growth However, apart from applying onions juice to your hair for rapid growth and stronger hair, eating onions regularly can actually encourage the hair growth process. The more onions you eat by adding them to your diet, the more your chances of having a healthy hair. Although eating onions is not as effective as applying onion juice to the hair, it sure helps in working wonders when the two methods are combined together.  | ||
| Is it right to put your girlfriend on a monthly allowance? Posted: 29 Aug 2021 07:00 AM PDT  As great as bae allowances are, no one should ever feel under any pressure to give them.Let's talk about boyfriends, girlfriends and the appropriateness of giving monthly allowances to someone you are in a relationship with.Unsurprisingly, one of the most discussed, often controversial aspects of relationships is money and its application in those. Issues about cab fares after visits, who pays during dates, how much one needs to earn before considering a relationship, etc have been debated on social media in the recent past. One other aspect of this money discussion is the practice of giving a girlfriend money at the end of every month for her up keep. This money is actually known as Bae Allowance – money a guy gives his girlfriend at the end of each month for her random needs. Bae allowance is cool... There is nothing stopping anyone from giving money to a girlfriend. Heck, there's even no rule about how frequent it should be or how much it should be. It is not illogical for a man to want to spoil his woman in all manners he deems fit. If a monthly allowance is one of the ways he chooses to appreciate his woman's presence in her life, then, no one should give such guy grief for that. For the guys who feel comfortable doing so, it is admirable and nice. And you should never feel discouraged by people to stop if you see no problem with it. Bae allowance is not a relationship standard Bae allowance may not be wrong but it should never be a relationship benchmark for anyone. If you date someone who gave you a monthly, weekly or daily allowance, it is important to understand that such person did it as a largesse and not a compulsory or widely-expected relationship standard. Bae allowance is not on the same pedestal of relationship expectations as communication, honesty, gift-giving and others. This is why every money [whether monthly or less frequently] between partners need to be appreciated for the gifts they are, and not demanded as if they contractual obligations. As we already said in another post here, your boyfriend does not owe you the duty of gifting you money, just as you do not owe him the duty of cooking his meals or tidying up his apartment in your visits. People should do these things because they are capable and want to do so. No one should be compelled to do them. There are relationship things you can demand because you are entitled to them; a monthly allowance, as nice as it is, isn't one of them.  | ||

| The health benefits of this plant are unbelievable Posted: 29 Aug 2021 05:30 AM PDT  With garlic, you can easily tackle the root cause of acne by purifying your blood from inside to get a healthy skin on the outside.The health benefits of garlic are numerous.Unknown to most people, garlic is the oldest known medicinal plant variety in existence. It has been used for the treatment of different illness from time in memorial.As a matter of fact, garlic is one of the best kept medicinal treasures of the past era – the plant has also been used as an antibiotic to treat bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections for the last 7,000 years. And with a history of thousands of years, garlic which originally is a native to Central Asia and northeastern Iran has long been used as a traditional medicine, worldwide. However, a lot of people have refused to associate themselves with the plant because of it obnoxious smell. They know that consuming garlic can be very beneficial to their health yet it is almost impossible to convince them to make use of it. But garlic is like every good medicine that has either a bitter taste or an odd smell. And in this case, it is the latter. Be that as it may, the obnoxious smell of garlic should be nothing compared to the health benefits of the plant. Here are some of the unbelievable health benefits of garlic 1. Garlic purifies the blood With garlic, you can easily tackle the root cause of acne by purifying your blood from inside to get a healthy skin on the outside. All you need do is to take two cloves of raw garlic with some warm water every day, early in the morning and consume a lot of water the entire day. Also, if you're looking to shed some pounds, squeeze the juice of half a lemon in a glass of lukewarm water and have it with 2 cloves of garlic in the mornings. In addition, garlic will helps to cleanse the system and flush out toxins as well. 2. Garlic is an Anti-bacterial and Anti-parasitic As a plant, garlic has been used as an antibiotic to treat bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections for the last 7,000 years. Scientific studies have even gone further to suggest that diluted garlic extract helps children with tapeworm infections. Although a garlic-based mouthwash may not sound interesting, a very small quantity of its extracts is sufficient to ward off cavity-causing bacteria. 3. Garlic lowers cholesterol levels Scientific studies have shown that there are two kinds of cholesterol: LDL, and HDL. And the former which is LDL is bad for human health. Garlic, on the other hand, is rich in the allicin compound and effectively prevents LDL cholesterol from oxidizing. It is, therefore, advisable for people who have high cholesterol level to include garlic in their daily diet. 4. Garlic controls diabetes The deadliness of diabetes can be said to be as a result of its numerous side effects. Diabetes can harm the kidneys; inhibit nervous system functions, cause heart disorders, and even lead to poor eyesight. However, the oil extracted from garlic may protect diabetic patients from these side effects. Garlic helps to treat Intestinal Problems Garlic clears up most intestinal problems like dysentery, diarrhea, and colitis. Its role in dispelling worms is phenomenal. It does not affect the functioning of useful organisms in the intestine, which aid in digestion, but it does destroy the harmful bacteria present in the intestines. 5. Garlic helps to treat infected wound As an herbal treatment, garlic can be placed on infected wounds. But rather than applying it in its raw form, garlic should be mixed with three drops of water as the undiluted juice can irritate the skin. 6. Garlic increases libido Surprisingly, garlic has been proven to have certain aphrodisiac properties. This means that as an herb, garlic can be used as an effectual sex rejuvenator. Furthermore, is believed to enhance the libido of both men and women. Owing to this, it is advisable for people who overindulge in sexual activities to consume garlic in their diet or in supplemental form, as it will help protect them from experiencing nervous fatigue.  | ||

| 3 factors that make meat good or bad for you Posted: 29 Aug 2021 04:00 AM PDT  If you are Nigerian, you cannot eat any food without some sort of meat inside it.Nigerians popularly called it an Obstacle. You hear things like, "There is no obstacle in this food, no way I am eating it."Meat is a broad term we used to refer to animals and poultry. Meat also means red meat like beef, pork and lamb; white (lean) meat like chicken and processed meat like sausages. Meat is neither out rightly good nor bad. Meat is a source of protein, vitamins, fatty acids and minerals. It helps increase metabolism and leads to stronger bones One of the major issues with meat is that it has been linked with different diseases but the common saying is that correlation is not causation. Meat is not out rightly bad, it has some health benefits. A lot of factors makes it either good or bad. How it is prepared It is better to grill your meat than to fry it. Grilling your meat helps to burn some fat off it which reduces the fat content. You can also bake, boil or stir-fry your meat for a reduced fat content The type of meat Generally, lean meat is healthier than red meat. Lean meats are meats that have a low-fat content like chicken, turkey, fish and pork. They have low calorie and low fat. Red meat on the other hand has a high-fat content e.g. beef, goat meat. Buy shellfish like shrimp, crab and lobster. It adds variety to your meal and it is quite healthy. The size of the meat The lesser the size the more healthy it is. The American Cancer Society has recommended three-four ounces of meat. Three-four ounces would be like a bar of soap or a deck of cards. I know you are thinking, 'Should I just become a vegan?'. Well, while vegans are less likely to have heart related complications, the lack of meat leads to certain nutrient deficiencies they should supplement.  | ||

| Why the Maldives is a dream vacation destination Posted: 29 Aug 2021 01:00 AM PDT  Do you ever wonder why Nigerian celebrities and influencers love to go to the Maldives?Maldives is an independent island and tourist country located in the North of the Indian Ocean with about 130 resort island hotels.Living in Nigeria, being engrossed in the hustle and bustle of survival, trying to make ends meet does not mean you can't still dream of luxury. Also, these are things you can plan for if travelling around the world is part of your bucket list as it is on mine. Whether or not you can save for it depends on how much you're earning, but you may never know what the future holds. According to airlines, it costs $826.26 to fly from Lagos to the Maldives. This is a little bit over N300,000. So, to and fro would be over N600, 000. Some rooms and chalets cost less than N70,000 per night but, others are way more expensive. If you plan this trip with friends or partners the cost might be less. Obviously, a trip to the Maldives is one of luxury and class. These are some of the reasons why it is a dream destination. Clear, blue skies and the blue sea Do you ever imagine what paradise is like? Travelling to the Maldives gives you the perfect opportunity to experience paradise. The skies are the bluest of blue, there are green leaves and palm trees everywhere and, the white sand would calm your spirit and relax your nerves Snorkeling and sunset watching Snorkeling is basically swimming in a water body with diving masks and swimming fins. You can see fishes and other aquatic creatures underneath the water. You can also plan to see one of the beautiful sunsets by camping by the beach. You would get to see the sun melt into the water and, turn golden. Speed boating, jet Ski, boat Cruise Speed boating is a small boat that moves fast, if you are looking for that kind of excitement, you can plan that. Jet skis are a little bit more dangerous, and you might need help with that. A jet ski is like a scooter (motorcycle) that the rider sits or stand on in the water. If these activities are too dangerous for you, an ordinary boat cruise is a perfect activity for you to try. You would sit in the boat in your bikini, or whatever you have on, sipping, drinking, and having a good time. Swimming You can swim in the ocean and have that experience. Hopefully, if you do that, it means you are a good swimmer; the tides are low and, there is a lifeguard around. You could also swim in a resort swimming pool or relax by the poolside. Tropical drinks and cuisine Your taste palate would experience a change for the better when you have a taste of their delicacies or their cocktails. I spoke to Sarah who went on a trip to the Maldives. "What I loved about the trip was the view, the people there were friendly, their food was good but very boring at a time, because I missed African food. There are many more reasons why people love to go to the Maldives. If you are like me and you cannot afford it now, you can always dream about it as I do.  | ||
| 7 Nigerians speak on their partner being bestie with someone of the opposite sex Posted: 29 Aug 2021 12:30 AM PDT  "We are just friends" How true is this? How comfortable are you with your partner having a best friend who isn't you?I asked seven people how they felt about their partners having a best friend of the opposite gender.Before you enter a relationship or marriage, your partner had people in their lives and, so did you. Where does that leave their former friends and yours too?Wunmi says, "If he can prioritize me over her, no problem, she would have to be both of our best friends. If not, he should just date his best friend, now people are even advocating we date our friends sef." Danny said, "If we aren't each other's best friends then we shouldn't be dating. I can never date a lady who has a best friend who is a guy." Tomi said, "I can never allow that, it is nonsense. I am a very jealous person and, comparisons might start happening between the I and her." Abraham said, "I am saving that position for someone. I have a best friend and, he is a guy. That is enough. I want my wife to be my best friend." They all feel like this best friend would soon take their place in the relationship or marriage, is this a legitimate feeling or just a mere insecurity? Muyiwa thinks, "I don't think that this is an issue you mandate for your partner. It is what they need to do by themselves. Boundaries should not be set by the other person. Everyone has to do what is sensible and fair." "Having a best friend of the opposite gender or not does not mean that your partner will cheat on you. It does not mean that they won't abandon you." "It is your partner's responsibility to make sure that their best friend does not encroach on your time/attention." Zubair thinks, "She has a boyfriend now, she has to review whatever relationship they have and get some boundaries between them." Odion says, "I am her man now, that should end." There are situations where a partner was uncomfortable with the 'bestie' relationship and, at the end of the day, they left them or cheated with their best friends. Even though relationships are about trust, boundaries are also important.  |
