#LegalTipsWithOlukayode #BusinessNameII

Dear Client,
Now that you know what Business Name Registration is, you must also know that it is not all Business Names that require registration.

Thus, what determines whether you require registration at all is the name you have decided to adopt for your business. The following names DO NOT require registration:
1. Name and Surname of the Proprietor (e.g. Olukayode Olugbemi Enterprise)
2. Name and Surname of Partners in a partnership (e.g. Olukayode Olugbemi and Taiwo Hassan )
3. Initials and Surname of Partners in a partnership (e.g. O.Olugbemi and T.Hassan)
4. Initial and Surname of the Proprietor (O.Olugbemi Enterprise).

Please note that any other use of name apart from the real names of the owner (s) would require registration. This is because the main intent of business name registration is to identify the name and face behind a business.

If you have decided to register a business name, please consult your legal practitioner. It is definitely cheaper to have your solicitor conduct all due diligence than to allow someone with no experience do it for you.

Got questions, feel free to drop a comment.
Please like, and share!

Have a productive day ahead,
Cheers,
Olukayode Olugbemi

However, medical experts have said that the age-old practice is actually fraught with dangers. Ewedu is also known as Rama ayoyo among Hausa, while the Igbo call it Kerenkere. Dr. Adegboyega Akere of the Department of Medicine, University College Hospital, Ibadan, on Wednesday, advised women and caterers to desist from the practice. Akere, a Consultant Gastroenterologist, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Ibadan that food handlers should always use blender for ewedu and every other ingredient used in cooking it. “They should not use broom to mash the vegetable,” he said. Akere said this is because ewedu soup that is mashed with broomsticks could still retain splinters of the broom, however minute. He said that when eaten, the splinters from the broomsticks could get trapped inside the oesophagus or the intestine. Akere ...

Painful letters By: Marvee

Every time I feel this way This terrifying kind of pain These twitchy palms and muffled sobs These weakened sights and mindless slob I would think of something To put me at ease, anything At times, to leave my world And be someone else, not a dud Often times I would write on plain sheet Write till my limbs felt weak Write till the page is covered in ink Write till the painful times shift. ©-Marvee
