FIRS allegedly slams N75m on Linda Ikeji for tax evasion

It’s really a sad case where people try to pull their fellow humans down, for whatever reason. It is quite appalling that when a man/woman is down, broke and busted, they would be the national topic of discussion as they would be constantly scorned and ridiculed. But once they manage to make it to the top, people would scream to the high heavens and still try to bring him/her down. This report is according to how #CapitaNg reported it. And let's hope she hasn't been evading tax.  Read below:

Mischief makers are at their worst again. Like predatory locusts swarming on a bean farm, they have gathered to pierce at the jugular of Linda Ikeji, the celebrity blogger.

Too many of her readers are ecstatic about her recent ordeal in the hands of the FIRS.

Orlando club shooting survivor Patience Cater-Gunman tried to spare black people

20 year old Patience Carter is one of the few surviving witnesses to the last moments of the worst mass shooting in American history.
Carter, had fled into the bathroom of Pulse nightclub during the Orlando massacre, and as the situation was winding down, she said the gunman told police negotiators on the phone that he pledged his allegiance to ISIS, and that he wouldn't stop his assault until America stopped bombing his country.She also said he tried to spare black people because according to him, they had suffered enough..
Speaking at a press conference ,she narrated her horrifying ordeal

How did me and my friends end up at Pulse nightclub? Well, we just got to Orlando, Florida, from Philadelphia the night before. So we just got there. This is my first time ever being in Florida, first time ever being in Orlando, first time ever being at Pulse nightclub.
How did we even get there? Akyra, who unfortunately is no longer here, Google mapped popular clubs in Orlando and Pulse was the first one to come up. It had five stars, and we were so excited. We were extremely excited.
So her mom and her dad drove us there. And we actually reached Pulse nightclub outside of it around 11:50. But because we needed to go get changed to get inside, we walked over to 7-11 together. So by the time we got to Pulse nightclub it was probably a little after 12.

And at the door, they checked our IDs to make sure that we were over 18. But the sweetest face greeted me right before I paid my $10. Her name was Amanda. She was one of the victims who unfortunately did not make it. She had glasses and her bang. I told her that her shoes were the cutest I've ever seen.
She let me be her plus-one so I didn't have to pay. So when we entered together, Amanda, Akyra and Tiara Parker, who's my best friend, we were all having a good time for a short period of time before Amanda actually disappeared. We don't even — we didn't remember what happened to her. She said she was going to the bathroom because there are three parts of Pulse nightclub as you all know now.

There's a patio that's outside. There's a middle section. And there's an indoor — another indoor part where most of the live entertainment takes place back there. And at first when we got in we were hanging out in the middle section with Amanda.
And then when she went to the bathroom, we waited for awhile. But we realized she didn't come back, so we just... we decided to go to the bathroom too because we had to go to the bathroom, and we didn't see her in there.
