BREAKING: Peter Obi emerges as NDC’s sole Presidential aspirant

I’ve spent the past couple of weeks building Looters: a public archive of Nigerian political corruption since the 1990s. Governors, ministers, shell companies, Swiss accounts, the Jersey trusts, — one searchable graph. You too can connect the dots: 1000reasons.vote/looters

Spain just lost a tax fight with Shakira so badly that the court is making the tax agency refund her €60 million AND pay her entire legal bill. That second part is the unusual one. Spanish courts almost never punish their own tax agency. The case came down to one number Spain could never prove: how many days Shakira actually lived in the country in 2011. To be taxed in Spain on money you earn anywhere in the world, you have to be there more than 183 days a year. That's the law. The tax agency tried for years to prove Shakira crossed that line. Even with every record they could find, they could only reach 163 days. Her own records put the number at 143. She spent most of 2011 on tour. 120 concerts in 37 countries. She didn't own a home in Spain, and her business wasn't headquartered there either. The agency's whole case rested on the fact that she was dating a Barcelona soccer player at the time. The original tax bill Spain handed her was €55 million. About half was the tax claim itself. The other half was a fine for not paying it. So Spain was demanding €27 million in tax, plus €27 million in punishment for not paying the €27 million they couldn't prove she owed. Today's ruling wiped all of that out. The court ordered a €60 million refund with interest. Then it ordered the tax agency to cover her entire legal bill from its own budget. It's the kind of penalty Spanish courts rarely impose. They only use it when they think the agency had no business bringing the case in the first place. Spain has done this to other wealthy foreigners before. Lionel Messi was convicted in 2016 of dodging €4.1 million in taxes. Cristiano Ronaldo settled in 2019 for €18.8 million. Shakira herself has paid Spain twice already in other cases: €7.3 million in 2023 to avoid a separate trial, and another €6.6 million in 2024 for a different one. The pattern with rich foreigners has been the same every time: pursue, assess, fine. Shakira pointed something out in her own statement. She had the resources to fight Spain for 8 years. Most people in her position don't. They settle in year one because they can't afford a decade of legal bills against the government. Spain can technically still appeal to the Supreme Court in the next 30 days. Tax lawyers say they almost certainly won't. The ruling is too solid.

They’re talking about structure when the music is mostly ASS.

@fozadoza Lmao 😂

I got 70 internship applications. God abeg. If you need legal interns, holla

Interesting IP conversation. We will all learn what IP protects, "Ideas" or "works". Happy Learning. Remember, Hire a Fashion Lawyer today. IP lawyers, if you like do free work and be saying everything on the TL.

@ablondedstar @fozadoza @AdeWhaLaay When I mean positioning I don't only mean music.

@ablondedstar @fozadoza @AdeWhaLaay That's just a picture, doesn't show up in positioning.

The machine clocked what you said and moved geographically to explore. The experiment included long tours with Cold Play in those economic regions, strategically features across LATAM and some Asian countries. After Starr Girl drops, she will build on those fundamentals. Fingers crossed

😂😂😂😂

Nah he’s the funniest politician 😂😂

Once you enter healthy relationship like this, e get some kind topic wey no fit concern you. The annual surname talk again?…

Getting married is an act of faith, because there’s no perfect partner and no perfect readiness to marry. There’s only, “I have entered this covenant trusting that He who began this good work in us will bring it to completion.”

A client called to ask me "Foza where do you recruit your lawyers from?" Me: Is everything ok? Client: Omo if you see the letter wey your lawyer send, e burst my head die. Me: *a bit confused coz I don't even know the letter.* I text my colleague and he was like "Oh smalls, we shouldn't bother you with minute issues" I read the letter, and I smiled so hard. This means my retirement is coming fast, my people are capable of running the company without me. A ZO lawyer is very different by a mile. Love it.

The concept of ‘Gospel Music’ divides me a lot Because I do not believe Christians are not meant to sing about any other thing asides the ‘gospel’. It’s hypocrisy and a denial of the human experience Don’t you fall in love? Get heartbroken? Or get affected by societal ills ?
