    Aiyedatiwa flags off APC e-membership registration, urges commitment

    • …says initiative aligns with President Tinubu’s long-standing vision

    Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has described the All Progressives Congress (APC) electronic membership registration exercise as a crucial digital initiative for the party’s growth, credibility, and future planning.

    The governor made the remarks on Monday while inaugurating the APC e-registration training exercise in Akure, the state capital.

    He noted that it was vital for party members to understand both the significance and challenges of the initiative, adding that the exercise aligns with the long-standing vision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, even before he emerged as President.

    “This exercise is very important for our party, and not just for the party, but for the leader of our party, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Aiyedatiwa said, urging members to participate diligently and mobilize others through influence and encouragement rather than coercion.

    He explained that the exercise promotes equalisation within the party, as all members would be registered under the same framework and timeframe, stressing that he is personally overseeing the process.

    Aiyedatiwa emphasised that technology, education, and ICT now drive modern economies and should be leveraged in managing party affairs.

    Highlighting the importance of a credible database, the governor noted that accurate data would enable the party to plan effectively and strengthen its internal processes.

    The registration exercise is set to close on January 31, 2025, giving party officials around 33–34 days to register as many members as possible.

    Trainees, selected from various wards, local governments, and districts, are expected to train others, reflecting the party’s confidence in their capacity.

    Aiyedatiwa urged officials to ensure all interested members, including new entrants and those previously registered manually, are captured before the deadline.

    National Vice Chairman of the APC, South-West, Hon. Isaac Kekemeke, described the e-registration as critical for strengthening the party’s structure, internal democracy, and credibility ahead of future congresses and primary elections.

    Kekemeke said the timing of the exercise reflects the importance the APC attaches to party affairs, explaining that it was designed to achieve multiple objectives.

    According to him, the first objective is to ensure the party has verifiable and credible membership data nationwide, while the second is to allow new members to become equal stakeholders in the party.

    The third objective, he said, is to build a reliable database for congresses and primary elections, while the fourth is to enable members to become regular and financial members of the party.

    He disclosed that the exercise is being personally driven by President Bola Tinubu, with the full support of APC governors, noting that the party is relying on governors to ensure its success in their respective states.

    Earlier, the Special Adviser to the Ondo State Governor on Legislative Matters and Party Affairs, Hon. Babatunde Kolawole, said the APC embarked on the e-registration exercise to build a credible, technology-driven national membership database.

    Kolawole explained that the database would eliminate phantom entries, ensure accurate records, and enhance transparency and accountability within the party.

    He lauded Governor Aiyedatiwa for taking the lead in ensuring the success of the programme, noting that despite the short notice, the governor mobilised the required resources and approvals to make the training possible.

  • Borderless Paycheck: The Changing Tax Landscape for Digital Nomads

    Borderless Paycheck: The Changing Tax Landscape for Digital Nomads

    The shift to remote work, accelerated by global events, has catalyzed the growth of the Digital Nomad phenomenon—individuals who leverage technology to work untethered from a fixed office location. In response, dozens of countries have launched specialized Digital Nomad Visas, attempting to attract high-earning foreign talent to stimulate local economies. While these visas solve the immigration puzzle, they simultaneously introduce a profound, complex challenge in the realm of taxation.

    For the modern global worker, the borderless nature of work often collides head-on with archaic, territorial tax laws that determine fiscal obligations based on physical presence. Navigating this evolving landscape requires acute awareness of residency rules, which are far more complex than simply where one chooses to live.

    This changing tax landscape demands that mobile professionals, including those working for global digital platforms such as https://nvcasino-pl.pl/pl, treat tax planning as a continuous, critical element of their lifestyle.

    📜 The 183-Day Rule: A Simplistic Fiction

    The most common misconception among digital nomads is the belief that the “183-day rule” is the sole determinant of tax residency. The rule states that if an individual spends more than half the year (183 days) in a country, they become a tax resident there. However, the reality is far more complex:

    • Global income principle. Most developed countries (like the US, Canada, and many EU states) tax residents on their worldwide income, regardless of where it was earned. Becoming a tax resident in one place means reporting all global income to that authority.
    • The “center of vital interests” test. Tax authorities often use a multi-factor test to determine an individual’s “true” tax home. This often supersedes the 183-day rule and considers factors such as:
      • Where your family resides (spouse, minor children).
      • Where your primary bank accounts, property, and professional ties are located.
      • Where your most significant economic and social relationships are maintained.
    • Source of income. Some countries tax income based on its source. If the work is being performed while physically present in the country, that income may be subject to local taxation, even if the worker is not a full tax resident.

    The 183-day rule is a dangerously simplistic fiction for digital nomads. Tax residency is ultimately determined by the comprehensive “center of vital interests” test and the global income principle, meaning that simply counting days is insufficient and the location of family, assets, and economic ties usually dictates where worldwide income must be reported and taxed.

    🛂 Digital Nomad Visas: Immigration Relief, Tax Ambiguity

    Digital Nomad Visas (DNVs) successfully grant the right to live and work remotely in a country, but they are often silent or ambiguous on tax residency.

    • The lure of zero tax. Some DNVs offer initial tax incentives, such as a temporary exemption from local income tax (e.g., specific residency programs in Portugal or Georgia). This is the biggest draw for tax optimization.
    • The tax trap. If a nomad retains their primary “Center of Vital Interests” in their home country (e.g., the US or Germany), they may still be liable for full global taxation there, regardless of the DNV’s temporary local exemption. This creates a risk of Double Taxation—being liable for tax in two countries on the same income.
    • The compliance burden. A digital nomad must accurately track physical presence (using calendar apps, flight data, etc.) to prove they have broken tax residency ties with their home country while simultaneously establishing legal residency in the host country.

    While Digital Nomad Visas (DNVs) solve the immigration legality problem, they often fail to solve the tax legality problem. The most significant risk for the DNV holder is not the local tax (which is sometimes exempted), but the potential for Double Taxation on worldwide income if they do not successfully sever their “Center of Vital Interests” from their high-tax home country, requiring complex compliance and invocation of Double Taxation Treaties (DTTs).

    ⚖️ Mitigation and Compliance Strategy

    To navigate this complex environment, digital nomads must adopt a proactive strategy focused on breaking old ties and establishing new, legally recognizable ones.

    1. Breaking ties. This involves severing the “Center of Vital Interests” in the home country: selling property, cancelling utility bills, relinquishing driver’s licenses, and moving family members.
    2. Utilizing double taxation treaties (DTTs). Nomads must understand if their host country and their home country have a DTT and, if so, which nation takes precedence under the treaty’s “tie-breaker rules.” This is a complex legal process requiring professional advice.
    3. Professional advice. Relying solely on internet forums for tax advice is highly risky. Due to the high penalties for international tax evasion, nomads should consult specialized cross-border tax advisors before moving.

    Digital Nomad Visas signal an exciting shift toward greater global work flexibility, but they do not eliminate the complexities of fiscal responsibility. For the borderless worker, tax residency is now a primary, ongoing compliance challenge that requires meticulous record-keeping and strategic planning to avoid costly double taxation. The future of remote work depends on the willingness of governments to update their tax codes to accommodate a mobile workforce, but until then, the burden of compliance rests squarely on the shoulders of the nomad. Are you certain your current travel pattern does not classify you as a tax resident in multiple jurisdictions?

  • Delta North APC coalition calls for fair inclusion of founding members

    Delta North APC coalition calls for fair inclusion of founding members

    • …urges Yilwatda to introduce transparent harmonisation framework

    The Delta North APC Coalition for Equity has called on the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to ensure fair and inclusive integration of foundational party members in Delta State.

    The call was made in a communiqué issued after the coalition’s expanded general stakeholders meeting held in Asaba, the Delta State capital.

    The communiqué was signed by the Chairman of the Coalition, Barrister Alex Ikpeazu, and the Secretary General, Hon. Kemmer B. Emina.

    The meeting was attended by delegates and representatives from all nine local government areas of the Delta North Senatorial District.

    In the statement, the Coalition expressed concern over what it described as the growing marginalisation of long-standing and foundational APC members in the state following recent political developments.

    The group acknowledged and welcomed the defection of the Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC, described it as a development that strengthens the party.

    However, it warned that party unity must be built on fairness and recognition of loyalty.

    According to the Coalition, most government appointments and key decision-making positions are currently dominated by the Governor’s former PDP political structure, leaving out many APC members who remained loyal during the party’s difficult years.

    “These foundational members stood by the APC through intimidation, repeated electoral losses, and political isolation,” the communiqué said, adding that the current situation has caused widespread dissatisfaction at the grassroots level.

    The group noted that such exclusion contradicts the principles of inclusiveness, equity, and reward for loyalty promoted by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

    Looking ahead to the 2027 general elections, the Coalition stressed the need for urgent corrective measures to prevent internal discontent and strengthen party unity in the state.

    As part of its demands, the Coalition called on the APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, to introduce a transparent harmonisation framework that will ensure: fair and meaningful inclusion of foundational APC members in government appointments, boards, and agencies; balanced integration of the governor’s political structure with the existing APC party machinery in Delta State.

    The coalition also demanded zoning of the next APC State Chairmanship position to the Delta North Senatorial District, to be occupied by a long-standing APC member, citing the fact that Delta South and Delta Central had produced past and current state chairmen; development of a sustainable party structure based on unity, equity, inclusiveness, and shared ownership.

    It further demanded formal involvement of the Delta North APC Coalition for Equity in discussions and decisions affecting appointments and party restructuring in the Delta North.

    The coalition reaffirmed its commitment to the success of the APC in Delta State and Nigeria at large but insisted that lasting stability and electoral success could only be achieved through fairness, mutual respect, and inclusive governance.

  • CORN West Africa hails appointment of Bappah as ECOWAS commissioner

    CORN West Africa hails appointment of Bappah as ECOWAS commissioner

    Conflict Research Network West Africa (CORN West Africa) has commended the appointment of Dr. Habibu Yaya Bappah as the new Commissioner for Internal Services of the ECOWAS Commission.

    The Network describes the appointment as a decisive and timely move that will strengthen institutional governance, administrative efficiency, and internal coordination within the ECOWAS Commission.

    A statement signed by CORN Executive Director Dr. Timipere Felix Allison said Dr. Bappah’s appointment was a clear signal of commitment by ECOWAS leadership to deepening institutional effectiveness and reinforcing the foundations necessary for sustainable regional integration.

    According to Dr. Allison “This appointment is in line with a key recommendation at CORN West Africa’s ‘ECOWAS at 50’ regional conference, held in November, in Abuja, Nigeria.

    “At that conference, policymakers, scholars, civil society leaders, and practitioners collectively agreed that as ECOWAS marks its 50th anniversary, strengthening the institution’s internal capacity and governance architecture is central to repositioning the regional bloc for relevance, resilience, and effectiveness in a rapidly changing West Africa.

    “In this light, CORN West Africa considers the appointment of Dr. Bappah is a critical step toward translating this consensus into action. Strong institutions remain the backbone of effective regional governance, and capable leadership within ECOWAS’s internal services is essential for delivering on the ambitions of ECOWAS Vision 2050.

    “Dr. Bappah is, without a doubt, a seasoned technocrat and accomplished scholar whose professional career spans over two decades, including almost half of that in the executive core of the Commission.

    “His extensive experience across finance, political affairs, peace and security, as well as economic and financial integration, positions him uniquely to lead the Internal Services portfolio with the depth, institutional memory, and strategic clarity required at this moment.”

    He reaffirms CORN West Africa’s commitment to providing the data, analysis, and evidence that support ECOWAS and policymakers in the region to build a resilient, peaceful, and prosperous West Africa.

    He, however, called on all stakeholders to sustain their engagement on addressing the challenges of governance and working towards an ECOWAS of the people in the region.

  • New tax laws to cut airline costs, ease pressure on fares, says tax committee

    New tax laws to cut airline costs, ease pressure on fares, says tax committee

    The Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee said yesterday that the newly enacted tax laws would reduce operating costs for airlines and help stabilise air fares, dismissing claims that the reforms would worsen the challenges facing Nigeria’s aviation industry.

    The committee said the federal government had engaged extensively with airline operators and other industry stakeholders and that consultations were continuing to address lingering concerns in the sector.

    In a statement issued in Abuja, the committee acknowledged the long-standing burden of multiple taxes, levies, and regulatory charges on airlines but maintained that the new tax framework directly tackled several of the structural issues driving high operating costs.

    It said the most significant relief under the new laws was the removal of the 10 percent withholding tax on aircraft leases, which it described as the single biggest tax burden on airlines under the previous regime.

    According to the committee, the old law imposed a non-recoverable 10 percent withholding tax on aircraft leases, a charge that directly strained airline cash flow and inflated costs. Under the new law, the tax had been removed and replaced with a rate to be determined by regulation, opening the door for a full exemption or a substantially lower rate.

    It explained that an airline leasing a fifty-million-dollar aircraft previously paid about five million dollars in withholding tax, a cost that ultimately fed into ticket prices. The removal of the tax, the committee said, amounted to major structural relief for the industry.

    On value-added tax, the committee said the VAT suspension granted to airlines in 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic came with hidden costs. While airlines did not charge VAT on tickets, they were unable to recover input VAT on assets, consumables, and overheads, leading to higher embedded costs.

    Under the new tax laws, airlines became fully VAT neutral, with VAT paid on imported or locally procured goods and services now claimable. The committee said the law also mandated refunds of excess input VAT within 30 days through a dedicated and fully funded tax refund account, with the option of offsetting credits against other tax liabilities.

    It said these measures would ease cost pressure and improve liquidity across the sector.

    The committee also clarified that import duty exemptions on commercial aircraft, engines, and spare parts remained unchanged, stressing that the reforms did not introduce any new import-related burden on airlines.

    Responding to fears of higher ticket prices, the committee said airline operations were low margin and that the impact of a 7.5 percent VAT on tickets had been overstated.

    It said that in a system where input VAT was fully recoverable, the net effect on fares would be significantly lower than the headline rate. Even if VAT were not recoverable, the committee said the maximum increase would still be limited to 7.5 percent.

    It gave examples showing that a N125,000 ticket would rise to about N134,375, while a N350,000  ticket would increase to about N376,250.

    On corporate income tax, the committee said the new law created a framework to reduce the tax rate from 30 percent to 25 percent, a development expected to benefit airlines and other capital-intensive businesses.

    It added that several profit-based levies, including the Tertiary Education Tax, NASENI levy, NITDA levy, and Police levy, had been harmonised into a single Development levy, reducing complexity and providing greater certainty for operators.

    The committee acknowledged that airlines still faced multiple levies and charges from various agencies, but insisted that these were not created by the new tax laws. It said the government was working with operators and regulators to resolve the issue, noting that tax harmonisation provisions in the new laws meant conditions would improve from 2026.

    It concluded that the new tax laws provided a strong legal and policy framework to address long-standing fiscal challenges in the aviation sector, reduce airline operating costs, and limit the impact on passengers.

    The committee said sustained engagement with industry stakeholders would help resolve remaining non-tax issues, adding that the reforms should be seen as part of the solution rather than the problem.

  • The Kazez credited on over 40 records across afrobeats’ leading artists

    The Kazez credited on over 40 records across afrobeats’ leading artists

    In an industry often driven by visibility and velocity, few creators have shaped contemporary Nigerian music as extensively and as discreetly, as The Kazez.

    The Lagos-born twin duo, Taiwo and Kehinde Kassim, have spent over a decade embedding themselves into the fabric of Afrobeats, Afro-fusion, and pop, crafting records that span generations, emotions, and movements.

    While renewed attention has followed their contribution to Adekunle Gold’s “Many People” from the FUJI album, the record represents only a single chapter in a catalogue that quietly maps the evolution of modern Nigerian sound. For The Kazez, moments are never endpoints,they are markers along a longer, more intentional journey.

    From Adekunle Gold, Rema, Tiwa Savage, Oxlade, Mayorkun, Bella Shmurda, L.A.X, Dremo, Laycon, Teni, Simi, Minz, to a growing list of new voices, The Kazez’s writing and production credits stretch across more than 40 released records, many of which have become pivotal moments in the careers of the artists they support.

    At the heart of their work is philosophy. The twins describe their approach as Refined Street Culture, a balance of Lagos grit, emotional intelligence, and restraint. It is music shaped by discipline rather than urgency, and by meaning rather than spectacle.

    “We’ve always believed that music should outlive the moment it’s released,” says Taiwo Kassim. “Our focus has never been on noise or speed, but on building a body of work that reflects where we’re from, how we think, and what we stand for. Every record is part of a larger story we’re intentionally telling.”

    That mindset has guided The Kazez since their beginnings in 2011, through their selection for Mr Eazi’s emPawa 100 in 2018, and into their current position as trusted creative partners across the industry. Their work moves fluidly across pop, street, soul, and introspective songwriting, without compromising identity or clarity.

    Records such as “10%” (Tiwa Savage), “DND” (Rema), “INT0XYCATED” (Oxlade & Dave), “Lockdown” (L.A.X), “Alarm” (Mayorkun), “Ajoke” (Ejoya), “Teleport,” “Jericho,” “Go Harder,” “Coming Home,” “Rihanna,” and “Won Wa Mi” highlight a rare versatility rooted in consistency rather than reinvention.

    Despite operating largely behind the scenes, The Kazez’s influence is widely recognized. Their work has earned coverage from

    TurnTable Charts, Culture Custodian, NotJustOk, TXT Magazine, Val9ja, Dop Exclusive, Hyperexclusive, and other respected platforms—attention driven by substance rather than hype.

    As they look toward the year ahead, the twins are focused on stepping further into authorship, not just of records, but of narrative, culture, and long-term impact.

    The next phase is about ownership of our sound, our message, and the direction we’re contributing to,” adds Kehinde Kassim.

    We want to create work that guides younger artists, shifts conversations, and proves that calm, intentional creativity can still lead culture. That’s the standard we’re building toward.”

    In a global Afro-fusion landscape that continues to expand at speed, The Kazez remains anchored in purpose. Their catalogue tells a quiet but undeniable story: of two brothers from

    Lagos, who have helped shape the sound of a generation, while preparing to define the next one on their own terms.

  • 2027: Nothing will stop Tinubu’s return — TSG North DG

    2027: Nothing will stop Tinubu’s return — TSG North DG

    The Deputy Director-General of the Tinubu Support Group (TSG), North, Dr. Magaji Da’u Aliyu, has stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s return in 2027 is inevitable, insisting that no political force can prevent him from securing a second term.

    Dr. Aliyu made the declaration while speaking to journalists shortly after facilitating the employment of over 1,600 youths into various federal ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs). The beneficiaries visited him at his residence in Birninkudu, headquarters of Birninkudu Local Government Area, Jigawa State, to express their gratitude.

    “Nothing will stop President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from coming back in 2027, Insha Allah,” the former House of Representatives member (2015–2023) confidently asserted.

    He revealed that groundwork for the President’s re-election has already begun, with efforts underway to mobilize and harmonize support groups across the North.

    “We are mobilizing different categories of support groups to work for President Tinubu’s return. Anyone who takes the risk of contesting against him will face a wide gap,” he added.

    Dr. Aliyu also expressed gratitude for the trust President Tinubu has placed in him, describing his appointment as a great honour for both himself and Jigawa State.

    “For the President to entrust me with this responsibility means a lot. Jigawa State is equally honoured that I am coordinating all support groups in the North,” he said.

    When asked about his own political ambitions ahead of 2027, the TSG chieftain affirmed that his sole focus remains on ensuring President Tinubu’s successful re-election.

    “I have not started preparing anything for myself. Though I’m already a prepared person. Our commitment now is the Mr. President and Jigawa governor’s return project. Strategies are already being put in place and, by the grace of God, I will do my best,” he added.

    Earlier, while addressing the jubilant youths who honoured him with awards of recognition, Dr. Aliyu expressed satisfaction over their success, describing youth empowerment as a noble service to humanity.

    “I feel fulfilled and more confident. There is nothing like doing good. In Islam, the Prophet (SAW) said the best among mankind is the one who helps others. I am happy and satisfied that they recognised this effort,” he said.

    He disclosed that a total of 1,645 youths had so far secured gainful employment through his intervention, urging beneficiaries to be diligent and exemplary in their respective places of work.

    “The best thing people can do is to be committed to their duties, create a positive working atmosphere, be good mentors, and help others to grow,” he advised.

    The event attracted community leaders, party loyalists, and families of the beneficiaries, who praised Dr. Aliyu for his role in tackling youth unemployment and supporting the Tinubu administration’s vision of inclusive governance.
