Such losses typically occur in the event of death or an urgent need to liquidate assets when required documentation and proof of ownership cannot be provided.  "The global focus on illicit financial flows is such that global regulations will only become tighter with time, thus this opportunity to regularise ownership of assets should be seized as proper declaration allows assets to be legally and formally held by the true owner. “Those taking advantage of th...

Its really funny to know that when our female ladies are in their 20's, if you tell them to stop being arrogant and money conscious for their own good, they won't listen to you. But when they have crossed their 30's, they can go to an extra mile just to get married. Foolish! Anyway, I blame the so called Pastor who decided to compound the old ladies problem by stripping them naked at the beach. The pastor even went ahead to kiss their nude butt as a way of attracting husbands to them. Fools...

It’s difficult to know what shocked the most – the tape or the casual audacity of Ibrahim’s admission after the release of the tape. A good number of those who saw the video the first time may not have believed it until the man himself confirmed it. His Excellency, former Governor of Yobe State and current distinguished Senator for Yobe East Senatorial District, Bukar Abba Ibrahim, confirmed that he was the one taped while having a sex romp with two women in a story published by Utubeweb.   It’s difficult to know what shocked the most – the tape or the casual audacity of Ibrahim’s admission after the release of the tape. While the country is in a recession, with ethnic tensions flaring and the Senate rehearsing a coup of sorts, Ibrahim had other concerns. Not for him the drudgery of politics or even the dire fate of hundreds of families shattered or displaced by Boko Haram in Yobe East, which he represents. His obsession was how to line up young girls his granddaughte...

Four weeks on from the general election, photographer Theo McInnes reflects on his time documenting Labour's campaign that succeeded against the odds. It’s been just four short weeks since Britain took to the polls in June’s general election, but fuck – so much in that time has changed. When I set out in the days following the calling of the snap election to document Labour’s campaign, they were the underdogs, destined to take a thrashing, there was optimism from the leadership but my fellow journalists and the wider British public thought we knew what to expect. How wrong we were. In the six weeks of campaigning Labour went from strength to strength, as I followed activists, MPs and supporters across the country optimism and inspiration grew. While the Tories went from cock-up to cock-up it was Corbyn and his team who garnered support: ‘for the many not the few’ overtook ‘strong and stable’ as the phrase which defined the election. Watching on firsthand was tense, a ro...

Disney World is the most magical place on earth. This is pretty much a fact. Though now there's going to be a new attraction dedicated to Donald Trump, and it's safe to say it isn't going down very well. The Hall of Presidents opened when the Florida park did back in 1971, so it's not solely about the current US president. He'll just be slotting into the next spot. It's not a terrifying rollercoaster, either. It's actually a sit-down presentation show featuring audio versions of presidents making speeches as you go through. Disney revealed on its blog that President Trump will have a speaking role in the attraction, something that had been reported as not happening. "Despite some media reports to the contrary, President Trump will have a speaking role in The Hall of Presidents, like every president since 1993," the studio said. "We have been working closely with the current White House — just as we have with prev...

Google was hit today with  record fines of €2.4 billion ($2.7 billion)  from the European Union for allegedly abusing its market power by favoring its shopping service over other comparison sites. The search giant has 90 days to change its product to comply with EU antitrust rules. But an appeal seems likely: Google has already assigned a law firm to the case and has stated it  disagrees with the ruling . At first glance, this ruling is a win for Google’s price-comparison site competitors that complained some seven years ago. Thirty companies have filed complaints,  19 of which are included in the formal case , according to a Reuters report. Here’s a look at the other winners and losers of the decision. Winners: Google’s competitors The ruling sets a precedent for other competitors within maps, travel and other sectors to potentially launch their own complaints. The bulk of Google’s revenue comes from search, which funds the company’s other services. Bu...

The European Commission has hit Google with a record $2.72 billion fine for antitrust violations Google has today been hit with a $2.72 billion fine by the European Commission (EC) for abusing its search engine power in promoting its own shopping comparison service – putting them to the top of the results search. This is commonly known as an anti-trust penalty, and is the largest of its kind. Indeed, this case is so severe that the amount fined is more than double the previous record – the $1.2 billion charged to Intel in 2009. In addition to the fine, Google was also ordered to end the practice – of what the EC views as anti-competitive behaviour – within 90 days or face additional financial penalties. “Google has come up with many innovative products and services that have made a difference to our lives. That’s a good thing,” Margrethe Vestager, the EC commissioner in charge of competition policy, said in a statement. This fine could have been more. The ...
