35-year-old U.S popular singer, Beyonce, has given birth to twins in Los Angeles, according to several reports. Beyonce, a rapper and music producer Jay Z, already have a five-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy. E! News, citing multiple unidentified sources on Saturday, reported the birth and that Jay Z and Blue Ivy were seen at a Los Angeles area hospital on Thursday. Us Weekly, also citing multiple unidentified sources, reported that the couple welcomed twins earlier this week. “Bey and Jay are thrilled and have started sharing the news with their family and closest friends,” one unidentified source told PEOPLE. Reuters said it could not verify the reports. A representative for Beyonce did not respond immediately to a request for comment. The celebrity news websites did not provide additional details, such as the date and time the twins were born or the sex of the infants. Beyonce, one of the most powerful women in the music business, announced the pregnancy on her Instagram account in February along with an image of her posed in lingerie and caressing a noticeable baby bump. The announcement got more than eight million “likes” in the first 24 hours to become the “most- liked” Instagram ever. The R&B singer performed live at the Grammy awards in Los Angeles two weeks later, proudly displaying her swelling belly in a motherhood-themed show. She has since posted numerous pictures of her bare baby bump on her social media accounts. The birth of Blue Ivy caused a paparazzi storm in 2012, with New York’s Lenox Hill hospital shutting down part of its maternity wing to accommodate music’s royal couple. Tweets have flooded the twitter on the birth, including that of Destiny’s grandchild which said: “everybody: the twins are here. me: I’ll wait for Beyoncé to tell us FROM HER OWN MOUTH about Houston & Brooklyn.” E! News said “Ring the alarm! Beyoncé and Jay Z have officially welcomed twins” “Waiting on #Beyonce to post a picture of the twins,’Mamba Out said. Grey Zayn posted a supposed medical team jubilating. This is probably how the hospital staff that helped #Beyonce give birth to the twins are feeling right now. pics: pic.twitter.com/oknSmqhPGO www.mloaded.com.ng/2017/06/18/beyonce-gives-birth-twins/ |

Across the globe, many people are stupendously wealthy;
using their money as they wish, quite often to the
discomfort of others. This probably explains why some rich
Nigerians buy golf courses and private jets while others
establish airlines and private universities in foreign
counties. Their counterparts elsewhere especially those who
worked for their money, instead of through extortion of
public funds are more engaged in wise spending. Among
the latter is Bill Gates, the world’s number one
philanthropist who only last Monday led other global health
donor partners to reaffirm their commitment to ending
the deadly polio disease by pledging an additional $1.2
billion. At the opening of this years’ rotary convention in
Atlanta, Georgia, USA, Bill Gates revealed to some 37,500
delegates including this writer that “16 million people are
walking today who would otherwise have been paralyzed
by polio.” In a welcome address, the African-American
Mayor of Atlanta, Kasim Reed was loudly applauded when
he described his city as home for all, extolling the virtues
of communal spirit where people help one another.
The speakers were quite articulate, eloquent and
persuasive giving some of us so much to think about, more
so, as the virtue of communal spirit hitherto belonged to
Africa, particularly Nigeria which was reputed for
sacrificing much of its human and material resources for
the continued existence of its kith and kin in Liberia,
Serra Leone and elsewhere. It was against this backdrop
that I virtually despaired all through the rest of the
convention reviewing the news coming from Nigeria that
some citizens had given notices to some other citizens to
quit ‘their’ areas. My ache was aggravated by another
revelation in the conference that of the 125 countries
which had polio in 1985, the deadly disease was now limited
to 3 countries only, namely: Nigeria, Pakistan and
Afghanistan. Somehow, I became scared of the possibility
that very soon, Nigeria may be the only one left there
because ours is a country where the only important
matter is politics and not the security and welfare of the
citizenry as envisaged by section 10 of the nation’s
constitution. Thus, every year, the national budget is
signed into law only in the second half of the year after
the politicians in the legislature are through with horse-
trading with the executive on self-preservation
Nothing else matters, not even the survival of the nation
with every ethnic category claiming to be aggrieved.
Contrary to the argument of the past that the
amalgamation of 1914 was done by the British to add
buoyant southern resources to that of the north for the
survival of both territories, attention is being drawn to
another version that in earnest, it was norther resources
that were used to develop the south. For this reason, the
north is reportedly tired of the constant threat of the
igbo to leave the country as if the north would collapse
without the south-east. Judging by a recent communique
by the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council (OYC), the south-
east zone ‘will not accept anything other than a president
of Igbo extraction in 2019, saying that it is the only
panacea to Biafran agitation raging in the zone. The
communique said Ndigbo would no longer play second fiddle
in Nigerian politics.’ How about the yorubas? The Oodua
Peoples Congress, (OPC) says: “if you sample the opinion of
the youths and others in Yoruba land, they are even tired
of restructuring. They are more in support of self-
determination. They want self-determination on the basis
of having their own nation.”
Worrisome situation but we must give kudos to 2 people.
First, the Emir of Katsina, Abdulmumini Kabir, who waited
for no one to immediately disown the authors of the quit
notice from the north. The Emir was quoted by the media
to have said as follows “Here in Katsina, I am ready to
sacrifice my last drop of blood to ensure peace and
protect all Nigerians residing in the state.” The second is
Acting President Yemi Osinbajo who has been speaking
tough to several interest groups about the survival of
Nigeria. Painfully, tough speeches, from the benefit of
hindsight, may not be the panacea. Are our law
enforcement agencies ready to match them with action?
Addressing the media at the end of last week’s federal
executive council meeting, Information Minister, Lai
Mohammed scared me when he said the government was
“on top of the matter” – a police cliché which makes
people feel that nothing may be done. Such platitude is
unsuitable for these times. It would indeed, be a great
disservice if under the watch of this government, killings
happen over the same subject in due course. The usual
style of governance by condolence whereby those in
authority visit bereaved families to offer material
compensation would be despicable.
To avoid that, the Acting President must not rely on
politicians at all, instead, he should hold on to societal
institutions which must be aggressively targeted and
monitored. By politicians, I mean those who play politics
round the clock and do not know the difference between
electioneering and governance. They are many and are
behind each of Nigeria’s divisive epochs. Only last week,
the leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of
Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph
Uwazuruike revealed that when he started MASSOB in
1999, it was purely meant to be a peaceful platform
through which issues of marginalisation of the Igbo in
Nigeria can be brought to the fore and tackled. In his
own words, “I handed over Radio Biafra which I created
to Nnamdi Kanu in London and hoped it would serve the
purpose for which it was created, but was disappointed
that politicians hijacked him and it became something else.”
Our burden now is to disallow the political class from
manipulating ethnic and religious sentiments to destabilize
the polity. Nigeria being a secular state as our constitution
provides makes the column for religion in official records
superfluous. Accordingly, governments at all levels must let
everyone practice his faith without sponsoring any pilgrim
to his preferred holy land. Most importantly, we should
dispense with the contentious federal character principle
by removing from our official records, the term ‘place of
origin’ and replace it with ‘place of residence.’ www.vanguardngr.com/2017/06/will-nigeria-survive/ |

—The Federal Government has initiated a
nationwide tax awareness campaign to capturing 70 million
more tax payers in its net.
Briefing the press, yesterday, in Abuja on the initiative,
Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, said 7,500 young
graduates would be recruited for that purpose.
According to her, those to undertake the campaign will be
engaged for a fixed term of two years.
She said those to be recruited, who would be christened
Community Tax Liaison Officers, CTLO, would be trained
and deployed to communities to raise awareness and
educate citizens at all levels on the tax system in Nigeria
and why they should pay their taxes.
Specifically CTLOs would: “Increase tax awareness to raise
compliance; educate all citizens on the tax system; tax
outreach to increase the number of tax payers; and enroll
new tax payers.”
The minister explained that the CTLOs would not act as
tax collectors, as their mandate would be to only educate
the public on the nation’s tax system and the benefits of
taxation.
Justifying the CTLO initiative, Mrs. Adeosun said: “With a
tax to GDP ratio of only 6 per cent, one of the lowest in
the world and 14 million tax payers out of 69.6 million
economically active people (20 per cent), there is a lot of
work to be done in creating awareness and bringing
people into the tax system.”
“A CTLO is not expected to assess people for tax purposes
or collect taxes on behalf of the Federal Government of
Nigeria. We will recruit up to 7,500 CTLOs through the
N-Power Program.”
On the campaign strategy, she said CTLOs would be
deployed nationwide and would address the public in places
within each community, especially markets, schools,
churches, mosques and airports.
Mrs. Adeosun said that the diversification of the nation’s
economy had made it imperative to increase the number
of tax payers and that with a larger tax payers base who
pay a little each, the tax revenue would significantly
appreciate.
She added that tax administration in the country has been
designed in such a way that those who earn small incomes
pay very little tax, while high income earners, pay larger
taxes.
The Chairman of the Federal Inland revenue, Mr. Tunde
Fowler, added that graduates between the ages of 18 and
35 would be recruited through the N-Power website under
the tab, “N-Power Tax”.
He said that all an interested applicant needed to do would
be to visit the N-Power website
at www.npower.gov.ng for full eligibility requirements.
According to him, “CTLOs would enjoy performance based
incentives as well as the opportunity to be sponsored to
pursue professional tax examinations if they qualify.” mloaded.com.ng/2017/06/16/fg-initiates-nationwide-tax-awareness-campaign/ Cc. Mynd44 |
As Forex transactions in Investors/Exports segment hit $2.2bn By Babajide Komolafe The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Tuesday said that value of transactions in the Investors and Exporters window of the foreign exchange market has reached $2.2 billion. Acting Director, Corporate Communication Department, CBN, Mr. Isaac Okoroafor disclosed this yesterday. He said the volume of currency trading in the Investors’ & Exporters’ (I&E) FX Window had cumulatively hit heights of $2.2 billion since the CBN introduced it on Friday, April 21, 2017 to boost liquidity in the forex market and ensure timely execution and settlement for eligible transactions. Meanwhile the naira appreciated to N364 per dollar in the parallel exchange market in response to increased dollar supply. Vanguard survey showed that the parallel market exchange rate which rose by N3 on Monday to N366 per dollar dropped to N364 per dollar at the close of business yesterday. Market operators attributed the N2 appreciation to the inflow of dollars into the BDC segment. It was gathered that the CBN yesterday sold $20,000 to each of the 3,145 BDCs across the country yesterday. http://mloaded.com.ng/2017/06/14/naira-appreciates-to-n364/ |
Nigerian cross-dresser, Bobrisky took to his Snapchat
account yesterday to brag about owning a multi-million naira
rolex watch.
The self-acclaimed King of Snapchat who is currently in the
US for meet and greet, tour with his fans, showed off his a
rolex watch, and claims it runs in million of naira.
Apparently, we all know Daddy Freeze is a lover of luxury
wrist-watches, and he buys a lot of them with thousand of
dollars.. So, he of course saw everything wrong with
Bobrisky’s watch and he outed him on Instagram. |
Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign States of Biafra, MASSOB, has denied reports linking it with an alleged plot to attack the residence of the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, in Umuahia, Abia State. Addressing newsmen in Aba, MASSOB Zonal Leader, Abia Central, Felix Ezekwem, said MASSOB has been a non violent organization and would not involve in any act of violence to attack or harm anyone. Describing the report as handwork of detractors of MASSOB, Ezekwem explained that the organization would not have bothered if it was not contacted by some security agencies and peace loving Nigerians across the federation. He stated that due to the non violent struggle introduced by its founder, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, MASSOB has restrained itself from acts of violence, despite the attack and arrest of its members in some states of the country. He said, “Why would anybody associate MASSOB with a purported plot to attack Nnamdi Kanu’s residence? We are not quarreling with any individual or group, our preoccupation is the struggle for the actualization of an independent state of Biafra. The struggle is our life. Since Chief Ralph Uwazuruike founded MASSOB in 1999, it has been a non violent organization; nobody has ever associated us with violence. The celebration of our anniversary on May 22 was not violent. If MASSOB was a violent organization, we would not have expelled some of our former leading members who were associated with violence. “We urge the purveyors of such wicked information to look elsewhere. We are used to such antics of the enemy; it has been their style to try to distract us from the struggle. MASSOB refuses to be distracted.” Ezekwem urged the people of the Eastern region to remain steadfast to the struggle to actualize an independent state of Biafra, stressing that victory is at hand. http://mloaded.com.ng/2017/06/13/1-3bn-malabu-deal-ex-agf-adoke-others-still-hiding-fg/ |
