Appeal Court Voids Registration Of KPMG Professional Services
Due to its similarity with the audit, tax, and consulting firm KPMG Nigeria, the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has ordered the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to remove the business name “KPMG Professional Services” from its register.
Additionally, Justice Abdullahi Mahmud Bayero, who read the panel’s unanimous decision, authorized KPMG Professional Services to cease operating under that name in the future.
According to Section 662 (1)(d) of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 1990, which is now Section 852 of CAMA 2020, the appellate court determined that the second respondent’s name registration was improper and misleading.
KPMG Nigeria, which includes its audit, tax, and consulting divisions, challenged the CAC’s registration of a new company called “KPMG Professional Services” in a 2003 originating summons, alleging that it resembled its long-established name in some ways.
AGF denies involvement in the acquisition of First Holdco Shares, according to  .
The Federal High Court, however, rejected KPMG Nigeria’s lawsuit in its 2005 decision, arguing that the plaintiff could no longer assert rights under the name because of an alleged merger between KPMG Nigeria and Akintola Williams Deloitte.
The lower court also upheld the second Respondent’s counterclaim and ruled that KPMG Nigeria’s name should be removed from the CAC register.
The Court of Appeal, however, rejected this ruling, citing “inadequate and unsubstantiated” evidence of a merger.
The lower court’s newspaper articles did not adequately demonstrate that KPMG Nigeria had ceased to exist or had lost its rights, according to the appellate court.
The nature and scope of the purported merger can only be determined by a merger agreement, according to Justice Bayero. What is most likely a functional collaboration or partial merger of KPMG Audit, and even that cannot be demonstrated by binding legal documents.
KPMG Audit (1969), KPMG Tax Consultants (1990), and KPMG Consulting were the first business entities to register with the court, according to the ruling.
Further, it was determined that the CAC had violated the CAMA by allowing registration of a similar name without first removing the previously registered names.
Amanda Holden brands herself ‘new Kris Jenner’ as daughters’ career move revealed

With the casting of her two teenage daughters for London Fashion Week, Amanda Holden admitted to feeling like she is in the footsteps of legendary mother Kris Jenner.
Amanda Holden admitted to feeling like she is the UK’s answer to Kris Jenner after both her daughter’s landed jobs walking the catwalk at London Fashion Week.The popular TV and Radio presenter joked about her prowess as a ‘momager’ after confirming that Lexi, 19, who is signed to Storm Model Management will be joined at the lavish fashion bash by her younger sister Hollie, 13.
Amanda, 54, is proud to admit that both of her daughters are already following in her showbiz footsteps. Speaking about their blossoming modelling careers as nepo babies she said, “Lexi’s good, she’s sort of dipped her toe in and she’s done a couple of photoshoots.
She enjoys going to school, but I think she’ll figure it out because she enjoys taking time off. She will be attending London Fashion Week once more in September, and we just learned that Hollie will also participate.
Amanda continued to the Daily Mail, “It’s definitely something I think Hollie is going to enjoy she’s going to die when I tell her she’s doing London Fashion Week this year. I literally just heard she got it and she’s gone for the week with my mum in Cornwall so I’ll have to ring her after.”
She then made fun of her role in their success, referring to Kris as the daughter’s manager, adding, “With both girls doing it, I do feel like Kris Jenner now.” We require a reality television program. I could see that, but my god, here we go.
Amanda may have hopes for a family-run reality TV show, but it seems like not everyone would be.
Amanda acknowledges that Lexi, like Simon Cowell’s son Eric and Alesha Dixon’s daughter Azura, wouldn’t want to be on camera, despite having the famous friends to make it interesting.
She said, “But one of my daughters would do a TV show,” but Lexi wouldn’t want to be on camera, which is ironic, and Hollie would undoubtedly do the opposite.
She also confirmed that Hollie loves TV so much she enjoys coming to work with her when she is filming Britain’s Got Talent, where they “put her to work” as a runner and causes “mayhem” with Simon’s son Eric.
Amanda said, “She enjoys coming with me to Britain’s Got Talent, she makes Simon his ginger tea, and they work with her when she comes.”
She enjoys the crew hoodie, the snacks, and the snacks she delivers to the desk. She also creates total chaos behind the scenes, as they say.
She doesn’t watch any of the show, but she did when she nonetheless made the decision to press the golden buzzer. Because Eric was with her, she didn’t receive a slap on the wrist, which is good.
Jennifer Lopez wows with racy performance during Tenerife concert

Jennifer Lopez gave an X-rated performance at her Tenerife concert while posing as a woman in sexual poses while writhing around the stage with her backing dancers.
At 55 years old, Jennifer Lopez could be forgiven for taking things slowly while performing to her adoring fans around the world. However, that was certainly not the case judging by her latest concert in Tenerife.
The mum of two, who recently split from Ben Affleck last year, is seen writhing around on stage with her backing dancers and simulating a number of explicit sexual positions.
The actress finished her look by adding a pair of tan fishnet tights and a white sequined corset. Members of the audience snapped a photo of the singer dancing behind her while wearing all fours, similar to when she was in a sexual pose.
And as she belts out one of her hit songs while being held up to the shoulders of another dancer with her front facing him at another point in the show, she is being held up. He then supports her as she leans back while being suspended from his shoulders. However, it doesn’t end there.
Jennifer appeared to be enjoying her high-tempo performance by encircling the dancer with her arms around his neck.
Over the weekend, the concert took place on Tenerife, Spain. Following her public split with the Hollywood actor, she performed what has been called her revenge song.
She earlier this week stated to her fans, “This is a new song that I want to sing for the first time tonight that came to me while I was up all night one night.” Should we perform this song “for the people”?
Jennifer, who is better known as JLO, performed the song at a private fan event earlier this month. She then claimed to be “better” at the time.
She sang, “Now that I’ve found my way here, I’m going to stay there. The love I want, the love I need, it starts in me.” You made my heart shine brighter in the dark, and you made me realize that thanks to you, you had caused that scar. Your broken parts won’t cause me to fall apart because of who we are, but I will.
The singer claimed that she became “wiser” after experiencing her heartache. She exclaimed, “I am stronger, wiser, because of you.” better than I’ve ever been.
Jennifer has had a string of high profile relationships including disgraced rapper and record producer Sean “P.Diddy” Combs, Marc Anthony who she shares her twins with and lastly Ben Affleck.
The couple engaged two years later after a dated in 2002. In 2022, the couple reconciled and got married, but their divorce was finalized earlier this year.
And there don’t seem to be any chances for a reunion. I won’t let you say goodbye to me for no reason, no longer, no longer. It was flawless while you made me believe, only getting better for me, and making me stronger, stronger, and bulletproof. Watch me resurrect your wreckage now.
The pain you caused was then expressed in gratitude to Ben, whom she did not name.
She told El Pais in May that she was proud of herself for doing that and that having a role in helping my children through challenging times made them stronger and better.

Israel to fund tour for MAGA and pro-Trump influencers: Report

According to a report, the Israeli foreign ministry will fund a tour of the nation led by American-based right-wing social media influencers.
16 influencers, all under the age of 30, who back US President Donald Trump’s MAGA (Make America Great Again) and America First campaigns, were reported by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz on Sunday.
Each of the influencers has between tens of thousands and tens of thousands of followers. Without giving a date, they will be flown in to counter what the Israeli government claims is a decline in young Americans’ support for Israel.
According to Yacov Livne, senior deputy director of the Israeli Foreign Ministry’s Department of Public Diplomacy, “It’s essential for Israel that the movement adopt a pro-Israel position with the rise of the America First movement and MAGA in American politics.”
By the end of the year, the Israeli foreign ministry plans to arrange for 550 influential delegations to travel to Israel, according to the statement.
According to the report, “While] older Republicans and American conservatives still hold pro-Israel views, positive views toward Israel are prevalent across all younger age groups.”
Influencers will be urged to share content that is in line with Israeli policy regarding Palestinians. We are collaborating with influencers, according to an unnamed ministry source, who spoke to Haaretz.
Their messages are more effective than if they were delivered directly from the ministry, according to their networks.
According to the foreign ministry, the tour will be conducted through an organization called Israel365, which is “unique position to convey a pro-Israel position that fully aligns with the MAGA and America First agenda.”
On the basis of biblical principles, Israel365 encourages support for Israel, particularly among Christians. According to the organization’s website, the group “stands unapologetically for the Jewish people’s God-given right to the entire Land of Israel.”
The organization describes its task as protecting “Western civilization against threats from both progressive left extremism and global jihad” and also rejects a two-state solution as a “delusion.”
According to Haaretz, the ministry announced that it has reached an agreement worth 290,000 shekels ($86, 000) to carry out the tour.
Marc Marquez wins Czech MotoGP in Brno, extends championship lead

Marc Marquez now leads the world championship by eight victories in a row in the Czech MotoGP, which he achieved with his fifth victory in a row.
Marco Bezzecchi, a factory Ducati rider, lost by almost two seconds to Pedro Acosta in his third podium appearance of the season on Sunday against Marco Bezzecchi on an Aprilia by almost two seconds.
Marquez won both the Saturday and Sunday race’s sprint races for the fifth straight perfect weekend.
The 32-year-old Spaniard currently leads the world championship with 381 points, 120 more than his younger brother Alex, who crashed, and 168 more than Ducati teammate Francesco Bagnaia.
“It has been a fantastic first half of the season, and especially these final races,” Marc Marquez said.
He continued, “I ride very well and feel better.”
Marquez outsmarts his rivals.
On a sunny Sunday at Brno, Bagnaia started from pole, but the lead was only reclaimed when Bezzecchi eased past him in the second lap, and Marc Marquez followed suit.
Acosta did the same to move up in third place in the weekend’s sprint after receiving a boost from a third-place finish.
On the eighth lap, Marquez passed Bezzecchi as the runaway trio continued to increase their lead and, as they did so frequently this season, kept widening the gap comfortably.
The three held their positions until the finish line, but fourth-placed Bagnaia, who had been pressing from behind, gave Acosta a difficult time.
Bezzecchi described the first lap as “unbelievable.”
“I had a lot of fun in the first half of the race, but when Marc passed me, I realized he had more.”
He was strong when I attempted to attack him. Anyway, I did a fantastic job. The Italian continued, “I’m very, very happy.”
Jorge Martin, a reigning world champion, won his first race and finished seventh overall.
After two preseason crashes, Martin sat out the first three races before returning to Qatar in April, colliding severely with his teammates, who then missed the following seven competitions.

Brno makes a faster than anticipated return.
The 21 laps on the resurfaced 5.4km (3. 4 mile) Brno circuit, which returned to the MotoGP calendar after a five-year break due to financial issues, took 40 minutes, 04. 628 seconds, according to Marc Marquez.
The Brno resurfacing improved the on-track results, which were immediately apparent in the lap times this year, which were several seconds lower than the previous record.
Acosta lost to the six-time MotoGP champion by 3.366 seconds as Bezzecchi passed the line 1.753 seconds behind Marquez.
Marquez won his fourth MotoGP title at Brno after victories in 2013, 2017, and 2019 and almost 220, 000 spectators over the weekend.
After finishing 17th place in the sprint race, Alex Marquez crashed on lap two to leave Brno without a point.
He defeated Enea Bastianini a lap later, who also walked away from the gravel safety area.
Takaaki Nakagami, a Japanese sprinter, was forced to miss the race after sustaining a knee injury in a collision on Saturday.
The MotoGP circus will now break up with the Austrian Grand Prix on August 15 and 17.
“There are still ten races left until the summer break.” Time to relax, but Marc Marquez said, “I will continue to have the same mindset with the same intensity in Austria.”
He hopes to win his seventh MotoGP title, which would put him one behind Giacomo Agostini and Valentino Rossi, and his seventh since 2019.
