BREAKING: CAC Reveals Proprietors Of Deregistered NGO, ‘Enough Is Enough’

The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has revealed the names of the proprietors of ‘Enough is Enough BN 2210728’, a business name it deregistered on Tuesday.

In a series of tweets on Tuesday, the commission said it deregistered EiE, a non-governmental organisation, because it deviated from its main objectives “over the cause of time.”

According to CAC, the NGO’s business name was registered in 2012 to engage in General Contracts and Sales of Sport Equipment/Promotion.

But in its reaction, the EiE, which was also registered in 2012, said it was registered as “The EiE Project Ltd/Gte” with RC 1047750 as against what was circulated by CAC.

“A big thank you to those who have reached out & spoken up for us!” the organisation said on Twitter, attaching its certificate.

In an update on Wednesday, CAC revealed the proprietors of the cancelled business name as Opayemi Adamolekun and Bisola Edun.


It said their business name was cancelled based on the provisions of section 579 (2) of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA).

“Further to cancellation of the Business Name registration ‘Enough is Enough BN 2210728’, the Corporate Affairs Commission wishes to inform the public that the proprietors of the cancelled Business name are: OPAYEMI ADAMOLEKUN and BISOLA EDUN,” the CAC said on Twitter.

“The name was cancelled based on the provisions of section 579 (2) of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA).”

Section 579 (2) of the Act reads: “Where any business name under which the business of a person is carried on‐ (a) contains any word which, in the opinion of the Registrar, is likely to mislead the public as to the nationality, race or religion of the persons by whom the business is wholly or mainly owned or controlled; or (b) is, in the opinion of the Registrar, deceptive or objectionable in that it contains a reference direct or otherwise to any personage, practice or institution, or is otherwise unsuitable as a business name, the Registrar shall refuse to register the business name.

“Or, as the case may be, cancel the registration thereof, but any person aggrieved by a decision of the Registrar under this subsection may, within one month of such refusal or cancellation, appeal to the Commission.”

Toni Kroos: Footballers are just ‘puppets’ for UEFA and FIFA

Germany midfielder Toni Kroos feels that footballers are just “puppets” used by governing bodies FIFA and UEFA and are powerless in discussions about competitions such as the Nations League or a possible new European Super League.

“At the end of the day, as players, we’re just puppets for all these new things which are invented by FIFA and UEFA. Nobody asks us,” Kroos said in his podcast ‘Einfach mal Luppen’.

Kroos, who made his 100th appearances for Germany last month, is in the squad for Wednesday’s friendly against the Czech Republic as well as Nations League matches against Ukraine and Spain.

The 2014 World Cup winner feels if players had more say they “wouldn’t be playing in the Nations League, nor a Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, nor a Club World Cup with 20 or more teams.”

The Real Madrid star said he feels such tournaments are planned “to suck out everything financially, and, of course, physically from every single player – and then some.”

Last month, outgoing Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu claimed a European Super League could soon become a reality.

#EndSARS: APC shares open letter to Pastor Sam Adeyemi

0

The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has shared an open letter written by an anonymous source to Pastor Sam Adeyemi of Daystar Christian Center.

The letter was shared in reaction to a suit filed by activist Kenechukwu Okeke against the clergyman and others who supported the EndSARS protests on social media.

Recall that Sam Adeyemi had reacted to the suit via a tweet saying, “Who sent this guy to file this frivolous lawsuit?”

Reacting to the clergyman’s question, the APC shared the below open letter to him.

Read:

With all due respect sir, asking a needless question at this time is completely beneath you, and I am disappointed.

When a citizen has exercised his right to sue you and other people he believes are instrumental to the damage of his properties, as a pastor how can you be seen attacking a victim?

As someone we all respect, you shouldn’t get yourself involved in the EndSARS propaganda. I expect that you will, by now, be playing the role of ensuring peace reigns and the government meeting the demands of the youths.

A tweet of that nature is not responsible and does not fit the personality you project. Being a pastor doesn’t excuse you from answering to the court of law.

We should learn to deal with issues accordingly and appropriately. By now, we all know it is easy to unravel who is behind who and what in this new media age.

Pastor Adeyemi, if it bothers you that much, you can find this out in less than 24hours. But in my opinion, there are more pressing questions to be asked.

We cannot afford for people like you to also lose focus. PLEASE SIR, DONT JOIN THE FRAY!

Nigeria needs to be SAVED. Thank you, sir.

Space.Com – Amenities That Make Your Property Attractive to Young Families

0

The home young couples rent probably and most likely will be the first home they raise their children. So why not get the most convenient space?

Let’s take a quick look at some amenities that would go a long way in making your property more attractive to young families.

1.

Stable Electricity

Citing Nigeria as an example, there are many places that can boast of good electricity, but come places can’t. Couples are looking out for stable electricity for comfort. We all know that children can be cranky in a stuffy environment. So getting an area with constant power supply becomes a great consideration.

2.

A Quiet Space

These days, you see clients requesting for estates. This is because you’re sure that estates are quite and gives you that peace and tranquility much required.

3.

Good Schools

When the children finally start coming into the household, school hunt starts. Most people want a private school that is close to the house so that children can get to school on time without unnecessary traffic. Traffic can also cause stress and mental strain for the parents which can make them less productive at work.

4.

Water

You’ll all agree with me that water is the most essential home need. You don’t expect Mommy or Daddy to be getting water from the next compound. Couples expect that water should be available inside the house. This helps in speedy cleaning, bathing and every other thing water is needed for at home.

5.

Good Roads and Access to Public Transport

Have you driven on a bumpy road after a stressful day at work or do you have to walk for 10 minutes just to get to your bus stop? This can be quite challenging and most couples do not want this to be a daily occurrence for their young lives.

6.

Safety

Do you know that there are neighbourhoods where you can forget to lock your door, go to work and not get thrown into a state of panic upon remembering that you forgot to lock your door? You don’t want to sleep with your eyes open or your phone constantly on to alert the police is anything goes wrong in your compound or neighbourhood. That is an example of what a young family has in mind when they think about a safe house. The safer your property and your neighbourhood are, the more attractive it will be to potential tenants.

CBN action: #EndSARS campaigners should explain use of funds, says Akeredolu

0

The Chairman of the South-West Governors’ Forum, Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN), has said #EndSARS promoters whose bank accounts were frozen recently by the Central Bank of Nigeria should approach a competent court to justify the “legitimate” source and use of funds in the frozen accounts.

Akeredolu, who is also the Ondo State Governor, said it was not the first time bank accounts were frozen by the CBN.

He noted that the matter was discussed last Sunday at the meeting of governors, traditional rulers and other stakeholders in the region held in Lagos in the aftermath of the violence that trailed the #EndSARS protests.

The governor, who spoke Wednesday on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily Programme, said the leaders agreed at the meeting to take certain steps on the frozen accounts.

He stated, “The issue of the accounts that were frozen was discussed but nobody said in the communique that we appreciated the government for freezing the accounts.

Akeredolu also urged the youth representatives in the Lagos State Panel of Judiciary Inquiry probing cases of police brutality and the Lekki shootings to resume sitting while they challenge the CBN action in court.

DOGS TO COMPETE IN LIVE VIRTUAL INTELLIGENCE TEST TO DETERMINE THE SMARTEST CANINE

0

Dogs will test their memories to the limits in a live-streamed competition on Wednesday night to determine the smartest canine.

The Genius Dog Challenge includes six of the planet’s brainiest dogs, set to go head-to-head in a virtual stream test.

Five academics from Hungary’s Eötvös Loránd University (ELU), including ethology professors, biologists, dog experts, specialists in cognitive skills, and even a former dog trainer for the Israeli police, have spent two years putting together this event.

The process has involved searching far and wide for the cleverest dogs, who will have to perform a number of advanced tasks in the competition. Over two stages, the dogs must first learn the names of six toys, then will have to learn the names of a dozen toys.

The dogs battling it out for glory are border collies: Rico from Spain, Whisky from Norway, Max from Budapest, Sqaull from Florida, Gaia from Sao Paulo, and Nalani from the Netherlands.

It’s commonly known that well-trained dogs can easily learn the names of many commands, but the skills in this competition are more complex and use more episodic-like memory skills.

Abuja court grants bail to #EndSARS protesters, cautions media against sensationalism

0

A Chief Magistrate of an Abuja Court, Musa Abdulrazaq Eneye, has granted bail to six #EndSARS protester in the sum of N50,000 each, with one surety each in like sum.

The six defendants were arrested while wearing RevolutionNow T-Shirt during a protest in front of the National Assembly.

They are Olutosin Adeniji, Yasidu Bashiru, Abdulsalam Zubairu, Kabiru Garzali, Paul Akinwumi and Devour Chomo.

Before granting the bail, Chief Magistrate Eneye expressed displeasure over a malicious publication on the arraignment of the #EndSARS protesters in the court last week, where what transferred in the open court was twisted and turned upside down on social media.

The Chief Magistrate, who drew the attention of lawyers and litigants to the malicious publication, warned that there are laws guiding procedures in court and that any violation of the rule will lead to contempt of court.

He urged Media practitioners to always get their facts accurately in judicial reporting and avoid undue sensationalism and engaging in sub-judice in the matter pending before the court so as not to run foul of the law.

He emphasised on the freedom of expression as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution.

Eneye, however, said the law was not absolute because there are guidance that must be followed by anybody or group while expressing themselves.

Tyson Fury confirms he will NEVER fight Deontay Wilder again

0

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has confirmed his decision to move on from a trilogy with American rival Deontay Wilder permanently.

‘The Gypsy King’ is unhappy at allegations of cheating labeled at him since beating Wilder convincingly back in February.

Fury changed tactics from their initial drawn bout to completely control and pummel Wilder in the rematch. ‘The Bronze Bomber’ lost when the towel was thrown in by cornerman Mark Breland in the seventh round.

Since then, an agreement on the date went out the window due to the pandemic and Fury moved on.

Wilder then came out with hellacious allegations on Halloween and Fury obviously wasn’t’ impressed.

The pair will never meet again in the ring, according to the pound for pound star.

“Yeah, the original date was July 18th. That didn’t happen because he had an injury. Then it was October but that didn’t happen because they couldn’t get a venue that suited everybody.

“Then they had three dates in December – 5th, 12th, and 19th – which I agreed to. That obviously didn’t happen. I’m not going to wait around forever. I’ve got my own life,” Fury told British journalist Gareth A. Davies in a YouTube interview.

“I agreed to every date they said. Every date that was mentioned, I agreed to. It’s not worth me looking at now,” he added.

Putting a final stamp on his confirmation, Fury concluded: “He’ll never get a shot at me. It’s finished forever, for what he said.

“Losing is one thing. Any man can lose to another. But to come out with the amount of BS he has.

“He’s conveniently waited until the contract expired to open his mouth. It’s ridiculous and I don’t really want to give him any air time. That’s it for me.”

DEONTAY WILDER SUPER-CRUISER


Linked to a move down to the new WBC super-cruiserweight category, Wilder has opportunities to become a two-weight world champion in 2021.

As WBN explained, the new division will transpire at a limit of 224 pounds, exactly where the 35-year-old needs it to be for potential domination.

If confirmed for the vacant title, Wilder could be on course for years of rule once again, following his five-year stint as heavyweight king.

What You Need To Know About Pampering Your Skin When Moisturising

0

The skin is the body’s largest organ and requires regular attention to stay young, blemish-free and healthy. Regularly using lotion and moisturizer should be a part of any good skin care regimen, OR BEAUTY ROUTINE

Moisturizing Reduces Skin Problems – Moisturizing everyday can reduce the chance of developing extreme dryness or oiliness. Both extremes are harmful for skin and cause common skin conditions like acne.

THE SCIENCE OF MOISTURISING

WHAT IS A HUMECTANT?

A cosmetic humectant is defined as a substance that moisturises the skin but it does this in a very specific way. As hydrophilic, or water-loving ingredients, humectants attract water to the skin as opposed to two other moisturising ingredients – occlusives and emollients – which act to reduce water loss or to enhance skin penetration of hydrating molecules. Occlusives include butters and waxes and emollients are ingredients such as squalane and triglycerides.

HOW DOES A NATURAL HUMECTANT WORK IN SKINCARE?

The function of humectants is to draw water either from the air to the skin or from the dermis (a deeper layer of our skin) to the stratum corneum (outer layer of the skin). Which of these two happens really depends on the humidity of the air.

In areas where the humidity is high, it is likely that the water is drawn from the air. However, if the humidity is low, or in other words the air is dry, the water needs to come from the skin itself. In this case, the skin pulls moisture from the dermis to the surface. This is why, in some cases, humectants can be drying rather than moisturising. What we need to remember is that not everything is black and white. Skincare ingredients and products need to work in synergy in order to maintain the skin in optimal condition.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MOISTURIZING

Now that we’ve covered why moisturizing is important for healthy skin, these quick tips will help retain your natural glow:

Hot showers and baths are not good for your skin. Shower for a shorter amount of time and with warm water. You’ll see the difference in your skin. Always make sure you Watch the temperature of water –

Pat dry, don’t rub dry – After a shower gently pat your skin dry instead of rubbing your skin dry. By patting dry your skin will retain more moisture you are going to seal in when you moisturize.

The importance of drinking water cannot be over emphasised, Drink more water – the moisture your skin receives also comes from your body. Drink at least 8 cups of water every day!

Use mild soaps or bath – soaps and shampoos that contain alcohol strip natural oils from your skin. Look for a mild, fragrance-free cleanser that has aloe minerals and vitamins.

Use a humidifier – If needed, a humidifier can add much needed moisture to the air.
