U.K. Joins France, Says Goodbye to Fossil-Fuel Cars by 2040 The U.K. became the latest European country to mark the end of the line for diesel and gasoline fueled cars as automakers such as Volvo race to build electric vehicles or face the consequences of getting left behind. In London, the government said it will ban sales of the vehicles by 2040, two weeks after France announced a similar plan to reduce air pollution and become a carbon-neutral nation. For some in the auto industry, the plans are too much too soon while environmental campaigners say exactly the opposite. “We could undermine the U.K.’s successful automotive sector if we don’t allow enough time for the industry to adjust," said Mike Hawes, chief executive officer of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. “Outright bans risk undermining the current market for new cars and our sector, which supports over 800,000 jobs across the U.K.,” he said. “The industry instead wants a positive approach which gives consumers incentives to purchase these cars.” Daimler AG, the maker of Mercedes-Benz cars, is keen to shore up diesel, since it powers many of its lucrative sport utility vehicles and big sedans, but others are embracing the new reality. Sweden’s Volvo Car Group said that by 2019 all of its cars will have an electric motor, while BMW AG will build an electric version of its iconic Mini compact car in Britain. The global shift toward electric vehicles will create upheaval across a number of sectors, from oil majors harmed by reduced gasoline demand to spark plug and fuel injection makers whose products aren’t needed by plug-in cars. In the U.K., the decision is partly brought on by stringent European Union emission rules that the country must follow even as it is set to leave the bloc. Michael GovePhotographer: Luke MacGregor/Bloomberg “We can’t carry on with diesel and petrol cars,” Environment Secretary Michael Gove said on BBC Radio 4’s “Today” show. “It’s important we all gear up for a significant change which deals not just with the problems to health caused by emissions but the broader problems caused in terms of accelerating climate change.” https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-07-25/u-k-to-ban-diesel-and-petrol-cars-from-2040-daily-telegraph |
LONDON — Scrambling to combat a growing air pollution crisis, Britain announced on Wednesday that sales of new diesel and gas cars would reach the end of the road by 2040, the latest step in Europe’s battle against the damaging environmental impact of the internal combustion engine. Britain’s plans match a similar pledge made this month by France, and are part of a growing global push to curb emissions and fight climate change by promoting electric cars. Carmakers are also adjusting, with Volvo notably saying recently that it would phase out the internal combustion engine in the coming years and BMW deciding to build an electric version of its popular Mini car in Britain. But the shift to electric vehicles will be a gradual one, and the target set by Britain is less ambitious than some of the efforts elsewhere. President Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord has also dented optimism. Britain’s new clean air strategy, published on Wednesday, calls for sales of new gas and diesel cars and vans to end by 2040. The government will also make 255 million pounds, or $332 million, available for local governments to take short-term action, such as retrofitting buses, to reduce air pollution. “It is important that we all gear up for a significant change which deals not just with the problems to health caused by emissions, but the broader problems caused in terms of accelerating climate change,” Michael Gove, the country’s environment secretary, told the BBC. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/26/world/europe/uk-diesel-petrol-emissions.html |
I have a different review of Bashorun Gaa. Was he really a villain or ahead of his times. Was absolute monarchy working for us then? I will say no. Were the Kings Alafins actually just and noble? It was a jostle for power between the major power blocks. Royal Elite - Alafin and thousands of princes. Noble Elite - oyomesi Basorun and Supporters . Military Elite - Aare ona Kakanfo and other war chiefs. |

Dr. Awodun and his team in kwara state are doing a fantastic job. The Kwara State Internal Revenue Service (KWIRS) on Wednesday said it generated N6.6 billion as Internal Generated Revenue (IGR) in the first quarter of 2017. The Executive Chairman of the service, Dr Muritala Awodun, announced this in Ilorin at the quarterly briefing of the agency. Awodun explained that the figure was a significant improvement from the N3.4 billion generated in the first quarter of 2016. Breaking down the figure, the chairman stated that the service generated N2.1 billion in January; N1.7 billion in February and N2.7 billion in March. According to him, the increment in revenue generation was as a result of the intensified effort of the service as well as the cooperation received from tax payers by officials of the state revenue service. He explained that the service had not introduced a new tax policy, but only intensified tax collection as well as ensured the blockage of detected revenue leakages. Speaking on the takeover of revenue collection from local governments, Awodun said that N100 million was generated for the councils for the three months under review. “This is the amount all the council would generate in a year before we took over last April. “We generated N240 million for them last year and from the look of things, we should be able to generate more than that by the close of December this year. “This is with the exception of 10 per cent that the state government remits to them every month. The state government has not failed in this regard,” he said. The chairman also disclosed that work was in the pipeline to automate the collection of revenue in the state to reduce leakages. Awodun further said that the state hosted the 137th meeting of the Joint Tax Board (JTB) in the first quarter where stakeholders applauded the reform in tax process in the state. http://tribuneonlineng.com/kwara-generates-n6-6bn-q1-2017/ |

Dr. Awodun and his team have really transformed the IGR of Kwara State. |
The Chairman of Kwara State Internal Revenue Service (KW-IRS), Dr Muritala Awodun, yesterday said the agency had remitted N6.6 billion into government’s coffers in the first quarter of 2017, representing 100 per cent increase over that of 2016. Awodun disclosed this while speaking at the quarterly media interaction with journalists in Ilorin where he noted that the huge turnover was as a result of the successful collaboration with the stakeholders by the government early in the year. He also said that larger chunk of the money of N2.1 billion was used by the government to augment the payment of ýsalaries because the federal allocation was grossly insufficient. Awodun also assured that other infrastructure such as roads, water and energy which had direct impact on the people would also be attended to ýas soon as possible. He further said that N100M was generated for local governments by KW-IRS in three months, an amount the local government generated in a year before KW-IRS took over. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/business/kwara-revenue-service-generates-n6-6bn-in-q1-2017/201020.html

ALBANY, NEW YORK – Uyiosa Eribo, age 42, and a citizen of Nigeria, was sentenced today to 10 months in jail for using a foreign bank account to accept money from fraud victims in the United States. The announcement was made by United States Attorney Richard S. Hartunian and James D. Robnett, Special Agent in Charge of the New York Field Office of IRS-Criminal Investigation. United States District Judge Mae A. D’Agostino also ordered Eribo to pay $11,000 in restitution to his victims, and to pay a $3,000 fine. Eribo pled guilty to international money laundering charges on February 1, 2017. He admitted that in 2014, he opened and maintained a bank account in the United Kingdom. He used this account to receive wire transfers from people in the United States knowing that the money he received was proceeds of Internet-based frauds targeting United States residents. Eribo’s conspirators, who were based in Nigeria and elsewhere, had the actual contact with the victims and directed that the victims send money to Eribo. Among other things, Eribo received proceeds from a stolen identity federal income tax refund fraud, in which a New York married couple’s names, social security numbers and financial information were used without their authorization to file a fraudulent federal tax return and obtain a $482,000 tax refund from the United States Treasury Department. Eribo’s account received part of this tax refund. This case was investigated by the New York Field Office of IRS-Criminal Investigation and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Barnett. https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndny/pr/nigerian-citizen-sentenced-international-money-laundering |
