PoliticsNEWS Pay Your Tax Or Go To Jail – VP Osinbajo Offers 9 Months Grace Period To Ta by inform9ja(op): 9:50pm On Jun 29, 2017
Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday offered nine months grace period to tax payers to regularise their tax status or face criminal prosecution for tax offences.

Osinbajo made the in Abuja at the inauguration of the Voluntary Assets and Income Declaration Scheme (VAIDs).

He said the scheme was specially targeted at taxpayers who had not declared their taxable incomes and assets, as well as those who don’t pay at all, and those who had been underpaying or under remitting.

Osinbajo said the scheme would cover all federal and state taxes such as companies’ income tax, personal income tax, petroleum profit tax, capital gains tax, stamp duties and tertiary education tax.

“The scheme will be operated from July 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018.

“It will be supported by an executive order, which I will sign into law today to offer a once in a life time opportunity to those in default to regularise their tax affairs.

“In exchange for full and honest declaration, tax evaders will receive immunity from prosecution, forgiveness of penalty and interest that is due on unpaid taxes.

“They will also get the full assurance that all information provided will remain confidential.

“In addition, participants in the scheme will not be selected for audit investigation for the period.

“We understand that some tax payers may have problems raising cash and for that reason, we have built in a system that will allow those owing to pay over a period of time.’’



According to the acting president, this is subject to conditions.

Osinbajo said that those who failed to take advantage of the nine months grace period would face criminal investigation and if found guilty may face up to five-years jail term.

He said that the government would immediately commence a nationwide sensitisation of Nigerians on the scheme and tax in general to ensure compliance.



“To this end, we have agreed that every Thursday starting from today, and for the next one year will be declared Tax Thursday.

“We expect the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and every state government to organise sensitisation events that would raise awareness of the tax system to ensure massive enrolment of new tax payers.We must enroll at least 4 million tax payers and increase the level of payment among the 14 million already registered tax payers.

“We expect that all state governors will personally lead this initiative and support the work of the 7,500 community tax liaison officers that would be employed shortly.’’



The acting president said that a high level team working with the Federal Ministry of Finance was set up 15 months ago to research on tax evasion and illicit financial flows.

He said the report of the team, which was tagged “Light House Project” searched various data bases such as banks, Corporate Affairs Commission, vehicle registration numbers and immigration to fish out tax evaders.

On the international front, Osinbajo said;



“Nigeria is now a party to the automatic exchange of information which comes into effect in January, 2018’’.

“This means that Nigeria will automatically have all the information to successfully pursue tax evaders across the world.

“Specifically, we will have information on beneficial owners of assets held abroad, including those in tax havens,” he said.



Meanwhile, the Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, said that with the scheme, Nigeria hoped to increase tax to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country from six per cent to 30 per cent.

“If we pass this test, the future of Nigeria is assured,” she said.

In his remarks, Sen. John Enoh of Cross River Central, who represented the President of the Senate, assured of legislative backing to the scheme.

He said the senate would pass whatever legislation needed to improve tax compliance in the country.

Similarly, the Chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum, Mr Abudulaziz Yari pledged the state governments’ support and commitment toward the new initiative.

Yari, who is also the Governor of Samara, said that state governments would be the biggest beneficiary of revenues derived from the scheme as they would give the FIRS necessary support.

A recent report of the Joint Tax Board showed that only 14 million people out of the estimated 69.9 million Nigerians, who are economically active, are paying taxes.

Accordingly, 96 per cent of the 14 million have their taxes deducted at source; this shows that they are government workers.

Also, only 214 Nigerians pay taxes of about N20 million annually and about 900 Nigerians pay N10 million as tax every year.

CrimeWoman Bathes Co-tenant With Faeces; Gets N100,000 Bail by inform9ja(op): 12:12pm On Jun 29, 2017
A 28-year-old jobless woman, Temitope Abiodun, who allegedly bathed her neighbour with faeces, was, yesterday, in Lagos released on N100,000 bail. The accused, a resident of Agege, a Lagos suburb, is standing trial on charges of assault, breach of peace, and resisting Police arrest.
She, however, entered a ‘not-guilty’ plea. An Ikeja magistrate’s court, which gave the ruling, also asked the accused to produce two sureties as part of the bail conditions. The magistrate, Mr. J. A. Adigun, said the sureties must be gainfully employed and also show evidence of two years’ tax payment to the Lagos State Government. According to the Police prosecutor, Sergeant Godwin Awaze, the accused committed the offences on June 12 at their tenement building. He said the accused assaulted her co-tenant, Mrs Mercy Ifijah, by bathing her with faeces, noting that “the accused had a misunderstanding with one of her neighbours and in the process, she bathed the neighbour with faeces.” Awaze said the accused also conducted herself in a manner likely to cause a breach of the peace by stripping herself in the public to escape arrest. He added: “The accused resisted Sergeant Gabriel Ejiofor, a Police officer, while trying to arrest her; she removed her clothes and became naked to avoid being arrested.” The prosecutor said the accused, who was a member of a dreaded secret cult called Awawa, had been terrorising residents of the area. “She always brings her gang to threaten residents and also beat up the complainant,” he said. The offences contravened Sections 42, 166, 119 and 173 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015(Revised). Section 44 prescribes three years imprisonment for membership of an unlawful society, while Section 119 provides three years jail term for resisting arrest. The case was adjourned until July 3 for mention

PoliticsMeet Evans’ Lawyer, Ogungbeje, Who Loves ‘unpopular Cases’ by inform9ja(op): 11:55am On Jun 29, 2017
Just when Nigerians thought no lawyer will step out to defend notorious billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike a.k.a. Evans, Voice Olukoya Ogungbeje has proven an exception.

Ogungbeje, who heads Lawflex Chambers and is the Chairman of Voice Vanguard, grabbed the headlines on Wednesday when he filed a fundamental rights suit on behalf of Evans, dragging the Inspector General of Police, and three others before a Federal High Court in Lagos over Evans alleged illegal detention.
joined as respondents are the Nigeria Police Force, Commissioner of Police Lagos State, and the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Lagos State Police Command.

In his fundamental rights, the confessed kidnapper is seeking a court order directing the respondents to immediately charge him to court if there is any case against him.

He is in the alternative, seeking an order, compelling the respondents to immediately release him unconditionally in the absence of any offence warranting a charged.

In the suit marked, FHC/L/CS/1012/2017, Evans is contending that his continued detention by the respondents since June 10, without a charge, or release on bail is an infringement on his fundamental rights.

He argued that the respondents ought to have charged him to court in accordance with the provisions of Sections 35 and 36 of the Constitution.

It was further argued that the alleged offence committed by the applicant (Evans) are correspondingly intertwined with the constitutional safeguards as provided under Sections 35 and 36 of the Constitution.

In a 27-paragraph affidavit in support of the motion deposed to by Evan’s father, Stephen Onwuamadike, it was averred that the applicant has been subjected to media trial without any court’s order by the respondents.

Onwuamadike further averred that the media trial and news orchestrated by the respondents have continued to generate reactions in both print and electronic media without his son being afforded fair hearing before a court of law.

The deponent also averred that since his son’s arrest, all his family members have been denied access to him while media practitioners have been granted unfettered access to him
The new suit has not been assigned to any judge and no date has been fixed for the hearing.

Controversial cases: Nyako and Ikoyi funds

Evans lawyer, who identified himself on Facebook as Voice Olukoya Ogungbeje had been involved in controversial cases in recent times.

In April, he filed a suit asking the Federal High Court to stay proceedings on the forfeiture of $43,449,947 (about N13bn), N23,218,000 and £27,800 (about N10.6m) found in a flat in Ikoyi, Lagos.

He also sought an order directing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to furnish the court with a report of its preliminary or final investigation on the source of the money, its owner, and how the currencies got into the building.

Ogungbeje, in a motion on notice asked the court not to order a permanent forfeiture of the money since there are claims and counter claims as to its ownership by the Rivers State government and the National Intelligence Agency and since the Federal Government had set up the Osinbajo panel to find the truth about the ownership of the money.

“This honourable court has the inherent jurisdiction under Section 6 (6)(b) of the Constitution to order and direct thorough investigation on the sources of the monies, their owners, the owners of the Osborne Towers where the monies were found and how they got into the building.

The case did not get anywhere as the money was later permanently forfeited to the Federal Government.

Ogungbeje also once filed a suit in Lagos in 2014 asking for the reinstatement of Murtala Nyako as governor of Adamawa state. This was after Nyako was impeached by the state assembly in July of the same year and the speaker of the state assembly had taken over.

Again, the case hit the rocks.

Ogungbeje claimed the Assembly’s alleged failure to serve Nyako personally with the impeachment notice violated his fundamental right to fair hearing as enshrined under Section 36 of the 1999 Constitution.

After the court heard arguments from parties and judgment date fixed, Fintiri, through his lawyer, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) urged the judge not to deliver the verdict.

The former Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) president prayed the court to set aside all the proceedings conducted in the suit so far because his clients were not served with the suit in accordance with the law.

According to him, the court should strike out the entire action since the due process of law was not followed.

Olanipekun, who was also representing Mammadi and the House of Assembly, argued that the originating processes were not properly served on his clients.

HealthHealth Benefits Of Fasting by inform9ja(op): 11:28am On May 30, 2017
Fasting refers to not taking either food, drink, or both by yourself with no force, for a particular period of time. It could be done partially for some certain kind of food or as totally in which no food or liquid is consumed for a day or a few days.

If you can’t skip food for a day, give up coffee or sweets, here are top reasons to fast.
Fasting Improves Insulin Sensitivity

Fasting has shown to have a positive effect on insulin sensitivity, allowing you to tolerate carbohydrates (sugar) better than if you didn’t fast. A study showed that after periods of fasting, insulin becomes more effective in telling cells to take up glucose from blood.

Fasting Promotes Longevity

Believe it or not, the less you eat the longer you will live. Studies have shown how the lifespan of people in certain cultures increased due to their diets. However, we don’t need to live amongst a foreign community to reap the benefits of fasting. One of the primary effects of ageing is a slower metabolism, the younger your body is, the faster and more efficient your metabolism. The less you eat, the less toll it takes on your digestive system.


Fasting Speeds Up The Metabolism


Intermittent fasting gives your digestive system a rest, and this can energise your metabolism to burn through calories more efficiently. If your digestion is poor, this can effect your ability to metabolise food and burn fat. Intermittent fasts can regulate your digestion and promote healthy bowel function, thus improving your metabolic function.


Fasting Improves Your Brain Function

Fasting has shown to improve brain function, because it boosts the production of a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF.)

BDNF activates brain stem cells to convert into new neurons, and triggers numerous other chemicals that promote neural health. This protein also protects your brain cells from changes associated with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

Fasting Helps Clear The Skin And Prevent Acne

Fasting can help clear the skin because with the body temporarily freed from digestion, it’s able to focus its regenerative energies on other systems.
Not eating anything for just one day has shown to help the body clean up the toxins and regulate the functioning of other organs of the body like liver, kidneys and other parts

Fasting Helps Weight Loss

Fasting can be a safe way to lose weight as many studies have shown that intermittent fasting – fasting that is controlled within a set number of hours – allows the body to burn through fat cells more effectively than just regular dieting.

Business6 Sacrifices You Must Make To Be A Successful Entrepreneur by inform9ja(op): 9:41am On May 03, 2017
Success does not come cheap. It requires hard work, perseverance and a lot of sacrifices to achieve it. It is difficult to abdicate something you are used to. However, when you think of the results of your sacrifice, you should be willing and ready to do away with them.

Jumia Travel shares the sacrifice you must make to be successful.

Time
We all have 24 hours. For many, this is never enough. However, if you really want to be successful, you have to plan your schedule and invest your time wisely. In addition, you have to cut off the things you waste time on and refocus them on important and relevant things. You barely have any free time if you are pursuing success.

Sleep In this case, you have no choice than to deny yourself sleep. Yes, you may be tired after work and the weekend is the only time you may have to sleep. So, due to this, you sleep whenever you are opportune. Success full people sleep but they wake up at a point in time at night to do the things that will bring them that desired success.

Friends The hard truth is you only need friends that key into your dreams and ambitions. If you find that kind of friend, you should keep that person. Of course, you have other friends that you won't like to lose but you have to. In some situations, you may have them as friends but your level of communication will reduce as you are too busy chasing success.

Personal wants You have to be very disciplined if you want success. You need every penny. So, you have to quit buying all those extravagant stuff. And even if you do not buy them, you still need to make the personal sacrifice to deny yourself of certain wants.

Social life Partying and clubbing every weekend has to reduce. In fact, if you are obsessed with success, you are not supposed to have a social life. That is extreme you may say. But the truth is you have to significantly cut down your merry-go-round.

Relationships It can be difficult to balance relationships and work. But if you have someone that understands that you have to pursue success, then stay with that person. Clearly, you have to find time to also stoke that relationship. If you cannot balance both ends, just quit and focus on one. Relationship or success? Success it is.

Business“I Don’t Regret Having Only Primary School Certificate - Rasak Okoya by inform9ja(op): 10:24am On Jan 21, 2017
The chairman of Eleganza Group, Chief Rasak Okoya, 77, tells ‘Nonye Ben-Nwankwo about his life as a young boy and how he rose to become a successful businessman

To you, is age just a number or has anything really changed as you clock 77?

You are still strong and agile even at 77, what is the secret?

To Allah be the Glory.

Did you know when you were growing up, that you would one day become this influential and successful?

In all my growing life to date, I have always given thanks to the almighty Allah for sustaining me, giving me direction and my success

What was your childhood dream?


My childhood dream was like that of any other child of my age and time. However, mine was backed up by the treatment I received from my parents. I was never allowed to play much. I had three sections per day – first section at school, second section at my father’s tailoring shop and third section at the mosque. This gave me the attitude to work hard and also to save all cash that was given to me.

So many people may not know that your story is that of grass to grace, can you tell us how you were able to build your business empire from almost nothing?

It is from the discipline and hard work with no time to play. When I returned from school, I was always with my father in his tailoring shop to assist him in my little way. Thereafter I started sewing torn clothes at little cost for neighbours. As I was able to save up money, I started the business of buying and selling clothing and sewing materials at the front of my father’s shop. I was able to save up some money and I also borrowed from my mother to start importation of tailoring materials.

You only had primary education as your formal training, are there times you feel any regret that you didn’t further your education?

It is true that I had only primary education and immediately after, I went into trading. I don’t feel any regret that I had only primary education. If I had acquired the highest educational qualification, it is still money and wealth that are the bottom line.

Was there any reason why you just had primary education?

As stated earlier, my love for trading made me to drop at primary level.

Was it easy getting to be successful?

The journey wasn’t an easy one; it’s full of ups and downs. But my ‘can do’ attitude kept me moving and in no time, I became real entrepreneur.

Your father was a tailor; did you consider doing his line of business?

I was always with him in his tailoring shop, so I can’t say I never considered tailoring, but as soon as I started making money from the minor works and petty trading of tailoring materials around his shop, I forgot about it.

What has been your greatest challenge since you started running your business?

My challenges in business were not being able to manufacture products in full capacity, due to lack of forex to buy raw materials and electricity to power the factory through the use of generators. Diesel price has always been on the increase and Electricity from power firm is never coming.

You probably have a lot of business you attend to, how have you managed to keep your home and your business afloat at the same time?

I work round the clock and I enjoy working. In spite of my load of work and the associated tight schedule, I make sure that I have time to chat with my family and tell them the story of how I got to my present position.

There was a time Eleganza used to produce virtually all products but there seems to be a decline in the number of products the company produces; what really happened?

Eleganza was producing virtually all house hold products, later we invested in real estate and about three years ago, Eleganza came back to manufacturing big and strong on 35 hectares of land called Eleganza Industrial City, at Ibeju. Today we have larger numbers of house products and more are still coming up.

Was it your personal choice to have just very few expatriates in your company?

Eleganza only keeps expatriates for jobs that the indigenes do not have the technical knowledge. As soon as we discovered the potential of the indigenes to do the expatriate job, we embrace the person without delay.

Do we see you retiring one day?

I have already retired but not tired. I am around the business empire for advisory roles.

About Girls' Power Initiative Nigeria
Like Cuso International, GPI knows that every girl has great inner strength and the capability to take control of their own futures, if only they are given the skills necessary to do so. For over 20 years, this Nigerian not-for-profit has been giving young girls and women the knowledge they require to act and the conviction to overcome prejudices.

Their successes come from three streams of work: internships which empower women to become leaders in sexual education in their own communities, the Gender Development Institute (GDI) which increases public awareness around the importance of gender equality, and their outreach program which brings the GPIs knowledge and skills development to Nigerias most vulnerable girls through school curriculums and intensive holiday programming.

The aim of this placement is to support in-country volunteer in Nigeria by doing internet research on fundraising and network opportunities for Girls Power Initiative (done more efficiently by an e-volunteer in a region with constant and high speed internet).
