Good morning Nairalanders!

Please what is the essence of having CSCS, CHN, Member code or Tax ID to invest in Commercial paper?

The regulation mandates the deduction of taxes directly from payments such as salaries, rent, professional fees, and dividends, placing the responsibility on businesses, employers, and other payers to withhold taxes at the point of payment.

According to the FIRS, this approach is designed to guarantee a steady inflow of revenue and minimize tax evasion.

A key feature of the regulation is the integration of Tax Identification Numbers (TINs) with transactions, alongside the establishment of penalties for non-compliance.

Foreign accent syndrome is a rare medical condition in which patients develop speech patterns that are perceived as a foreign accent that is different from their native accent, without having acquired it in the perceived accent's place of origin.

Foreign accent syndrome usually results from a stroke, but can also develop from head trauma, migraines or developmental problems. The condition might occur due to lesions in the speech production network of the brain, or may also be considered a neuropsychiatric condition. The condition was first reported in 1907, and between 1941 and 2009 there were 62 recorded cases.

On 4 May, Althia Bryden was found in her bed unresponsive and with her face visibly drooping on the right side.

The 58-year-old, from Highbury, north London, was rushed to hospital and found to have had a stroke that had left her unable to speak or feel the upper-right side of her body.

Doctors identified a carotid web in her neck - a rare shelf-like structure that can interrupt blood flow to the brain - as the cause and, in August, they performed surgery to remove it.

The following day while recovering in intensive care, she says a nurse woke her to take her blood pressure and "completely out of the blue, I just started speaking".

"She looked as shocked as I did. The nurse rushed to get colleagues round to my bed. No-one could believe I was talking after so long," she explains.

However, the medical staff also noticed something strange about her voice.

"They asked me if I had an Italian accent before my stroke and were telling me I had a strong accent," she says.

"In the whirlwind of it all, I was so confused.

The grandmother, who is a medically retired customer service advisor, says she has never spoken Italian or even visited Italy, but has now gained a distinct accent.

She claims she even uses words and mannerisms such as "mamma mia", "bambino" and "si" in conversation without realising it.

"Before, I didn't sound like the Queen, but I sounded British. I've always lived in London, but all my family are from Jamaica."

Althia is waiting for a formal diagnosis but says her speech and language therapist has suggested she has foreign accent syndrome.

The rare condition is described by the NHS as being where a person's speech takes on an accent different from their usual one, which other people can think sounds foreign, and usually happens as a result of brain damage, such as from a stroke.

"Doctors and nurses saw me as a bit of a medical marvel – none of the nurses, doctors, therapists or surgeons had dealt with foreign accent syndrome in their whole careers," Althia says.

"This is when I realised just how rare this condition is. I wish more people knew about it."

What sounds like a bizarre dream was a frightening reality for 58-year-old Althia Bryden. After suffering a stroke and needing surgery last year, Althia and her family were shocked to discover that she'd suddenly started speaking in a full-blown Italian accent... despite being born and bred in London. What’s even more shocking is that Althia doesn’t speak Italian and has never even been to Italy!

She’s one of a few people in the UK with Foreign Accent Syndrome, a rare condition where a person's speech switches to a different and unfamiliar accent. The condition has even left Althia regularly gesturing with her hands and frequently using Italian words and phrases, such as 'Si', 'Grazi' and even 'Mamma Mia'! So, how does this phenomenon even come about!? Althia and her husband Winston join us, alongside Foreign Accent Syndrome expert Professor Nick Miller, to explain

To be a cardiologist at that age, he was definitely born in the US

Also, Erinne, who recently got his Doctor of Medicine from the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, United States was said to have made Nigeria proud by his outstanding performance.

According to a statement, the old boy of Navy Secondary School, Port Harcourt, Rivers State and alumni of Portland State University, Portland, Oregon, U.S.A., at his graduation ceremony, got highly revered awards in Pathophysiology; First Year M.D Curriculum; Alpha Omega Alpha Honor; M.D Graduate Award Magna Cum Laude; Pharmacology; and Medical Microbiology.

Erinne, who has since commenced his six-year residency and fellowship programme in internal medicine and cardiology at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, U.S.A, hails from Ikija in Anambra State.
