CHURCH THANKSGIVING SERVICE ON BEHALF OF CHELSEA FC TRIUMPH

CHURCH THANKSGIVING SERVICE ON BEHALF OF CHELSEA FC TRIUMPH

'Chelsea, by the Grace of God, came first!' Church celebrates Chelsea Premiership win

A church in Ghana's has held a thanks-giving service for Chelsea football club following the recent Premiership success of the side, which is hugely popular in the country.

Pastor Azigiza, a long-time Chelsea fan, encouraged people at the Living Streams International Church in Ghana's capital, Accra, to come wearing the football shirts of their favourite team.

Standing behind a cake on a stage made to look like a football pitch, he said: 'Chelsea, by the grace of God, came first.'

Azigiza told the BBC he wanted to use the power of football to talk about God.

And he also led the congregation in a verse of the Chelsea anthem Blue is the Colour.

The pastor, who was once a radio DJ, teased his immediate boss at the church, Pastor Ebenezer Markwei, who is an Arsenal fan.

In his sermon, Pastor Markwei talked about 'the good, the bad and the ugly of rivalry'.

He said there was fellowship to be found in rejoicing in the success of others, so others will do the same towards you.

Azigiza thanked God for Arsenal's recent 2-1 victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup Final, 'because it means that [Arsenal manager] Arsene Wenger will stay' in his post, and Arsenal cannot win the league with him.

Azigiza told the BBC that he wanted to defuse rivalry between supporters of different clubs, and supporters of any side were welcome at the service.

Chelsea won the Premier League in May having notched up 93 points, seven ahead of their nearest rivals, Tottenham.

Like many other parts of the world, the English Premier League has a large and passionate following in Ghana.

Research carried out in 2015 by Twitter suggested that Chelsea was the most popular side in Ghana as well as much of the rest of West Africa.

Cigarette companies lose final legal challenge over plain packaging

Cigarette companies lose final legal challenge over plain packaging

All cigarettes sold in the UK must have standardised packaging from next month after the Supreme Court refused the tobacco industry permission to appeal against the new laws.

Campaigners said the ruling puts paid to “Big Tobacco’s” attempts to overturn the law before it comes into force on 20 May.

“Smoking is the biggest preventable killer in this country and after years of hard work, I look forward to seeing this policy now brought in, and smoking numbers fall even further.”

Professor Dame Sally Davies, Chief Medical Officer

British American Tobacco, Imperial Brands, Japan Tobacco International (JTI) and Philip Morris International claimed that the law would infringe their human and intellectual property rights.

New EU rules will mean cigarettes packs must be sold in drab dark brown packs with no graphic branding. Companies have been allowed to phase out their remaining branded packs since last year.

IN NIGERIA WE DONT HAVE POLICY - Kanayo Firms

IN NIGERIA WE DONT HAVE POLICY - Kanayo Firms

I need to say this quickly and brief: Presently in Nigeria, we don't have a policy.

At #500 to $1 exchange rate in the parallel market, we are not supposed to be protesting, except you have so ran out of ideas that you don't know what to do with your time.

At this rate, we are supposed to experience an influx of FDI in the key sectors of our economy. Say in Real Estate, Capital Market, Local manufacturing industries, Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals industry because the cost of oil is way below $100.

So when you have foreigners dumping money here because the exchange rate favours them, more jobs will be created and businesses will start experiencing a quantum leap. But the reverse is the case. Our Tax policy is counterproductive. It doesn't encourage business growth in these key sectors.

Another sector that comes to one's mind is the SME's which is the largest employer of labour in Nigeria. 

Yet in every state, the SME's hardly receive any form of government support in form of grants and soft loans, rather they are taxed to death. The recent tax policy in some States are structured in a way that SME's hardly grow or survive beyond 5 years.

Recently, given the reduction in Federal allocation to States, some States have gone totally berserk on SME's to milk them till death. Levying uncountable taxes on the SME's. This is counterproductive.

FYIWe have to reframe the argument for our next political debates. We need tax holidays for SMEs'. Already we don't have a conducive environment for businesses to thrive; no steady power supply, few access roads, high cost of petrol and diesel etc, and yet we pay tax to the government that haven't completed a single project since inception. This is horrible and pathetic. So before you rush out to go and protest against bad policies, know that we don't have a policy at all. Gracias Amigo.

Nollywood has been hijacked by money bags — Joy Kingsley

Nollywood has been hijacked by money bags — Joy Kingsley

Joy Kingsley

Rising actress cum producer, Chukwurah Joy Favour popularly known as Joy Kingsley is currently disturbed as she has accused ‘money bags’ and quack producers, of hijacking the nation’s movie industry.Joy made this allegation against the backdrop of the prevailing trend in the industry, where the budding actors and actresses are indiscriminately compelled to pay for movie roles by the shylock producers.This ugly development, according to the actress, informed her decision to go into film production to encourage and discover fresh talents. She described the practice as “unethical”adding that it would in no small measure deprive the industry of great potentials in the future, as those who are highly talented but cannot afford to pay their way through, would be deprived of the opportunity to hit the limelight. To match her words with action, Joy who recently moved into her Lekki home after she bought herself a brand new car, is due to premiere her debut movie as a producer.
