ADELE is the richest Young Musician in UK and Ireland
Filo: Oscar winning singer,
Adele topped the 2013 Young Music Rich List of entertainers aged 30 and under
with a £30 million fortune. The list comprises of UK and Ireland's richest
musicians.
This
was a 50 percent increase on the £20 million which put her atop the list in
2012; a feat which could be attributed to the continued worldwide success of her
album "21".
Kiyo: It’s funny when you
see some T-shirt with the inscription ‘my money grows like grass’. What type of
inscription do you think Adele would have on hers?

| Felix Nchikwo |
Kiyo: A Canada-based Nigerian
student has reportedly died after competing in mixed martial art contest in

US

Capt. Jeff Baker identified the man as Felix Nchikwo, but known in the ring as
Pablo Elochukwu.

Pastor Oyakhilome, incorporates secret company for daughters in Caribbean Tax haven
Kiyo: Secret documents link
family and associates of one of Africa’s most popular pastors, Nigerian
televangelist the Rev. Chris Oyakhilome, to an offshore company in the British
Virgin Islands.
A
business associate of the pastor says some directors in the company held shares
on behalf of the pastor’s daughters, Sharon and Charlyn, who are now teenagers.
The
company in question is Gmobile Nigeria Limited, an offshore firm incorporated
in 2007 in a Caribbean tax haven, the British Virgin Islands, according to a
cache of documents reviewed by Premium Times and the International Consortium
of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). The shareholders listed in the documents
include Oyakhilome’s wife, Anita; another pastor in his organization, Thomas
Amenkhienan; a business associate, Aigobomian Inegbedion; and another British
Virgin Islands’ company, GTMT International Group Limited.
Filo: Also, documents
reviewed by ICIJ and Premium Times show that Anita Oyakhihome held 17, 750 of
Gmobile’s 50,000 shares, with Amenkhienan owning 1,500 and Inegbedion 750. The
fourth shareholder, GTMT International, also a British Virgin Islands’ company,
owned by South African investors, held 30,000 shares.
The
documents show that some of these individuals held shares in trust for two
minors. The records don’t identify the minors, but Inegbedion confirmed that
the minors referred to in the documents were the Oyakhilomes’ daughters,
quickly adding that there was nothing wrong with that.
“Their
parents bought the shares for them because they have rights to own shares,” Mr.
Inegbedion said. “A day-old child has a right to own shares in companies.” He
declined to say which of Gmobile directors held shares in trust for the girls.
Kiyo: The issue I see
here is the clandestine nature of floating the company and the element of
ambiguity with respect to the shareholders, what do you think?
