NIGERIA CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ON FALSEHOOD.
The internet has made the world a global village, that some
of us who are in Nigeria can feel the pulse of those in America and other
Nations of the world.
Reading some articles from Americans I feel their serious
apprehension of the world ending here and now than we in Nigeria and Africa.
This apprehension mostly comes as a result of the fact that God’s own nation
has degenerated so low to allow sins to rule it. They shudder when the sin of
sodomy, transgender, bestiality etc. is being mentioned in their mist. We even
condemn them and look at them as the worst sinners and attach Babylon to them,
but they are still more sincere than us.
Let us x-ray our lives and corporate existence in Nigeria and
judge whether we are not the same Babylon.
Can we defend
ourselves from our Creator to escape being punished as God did to the
destroyed first world of Noah or from Sodom and Gomorrah?
Looking at our Political Corporate existence today what sector
can we say that Nigerians can look at and become consoled and vouch for our
continuous existence as a nation.
You spend your heard
earned money on Newspaper to read Corporate lies, stealing and its cover up
going on in offices and there are no corporate whistle blowers but individuals
whistle blowers who courageously blow whistle without enough evidence to
prosecute the matters in Court and punish the offenders.
Because it is a corporate stealing, there is corporate cover
up by destroying all the documentary evidence and if any documentary evidence
happens by chance to be produced, it will quickly get missing in the hands of
the investigators and prosecutors after a shady deals.
Our political and corporate sectors has turned the nation
upside down, lies are made to be truth and truth are turned to be lies, our
instituted laws carries different meaning to different individuals with
injustice reigning supreme with impunity. It is the reign of cabals who must
defend their positions by crook hook and sinker and have succeeded in holding
every one to ransom by unquestionable lies. Their oath of office is now to
defend all their shady and shameful deals by means of lies and cover up.
OUR NATIONAL AROMA AND FRAGRANCE TO THE WORLD NOW IS
CORUPTION AND LIES.
IN RELIGION, is the same clique of politicians parading as
pastors and general overseers. The work together with politicians who turn
their congregation to their political affiliation during election.
Because these religious group we have now is not Christians
and cannot be treated as one, God has brought out a Code by government to
regulate their activities. The Governance Code for Not-For-Profit issued by the
Financial Reporting Council that would regulate the politico-religious
activities of this churches and Mosques has been criticized for being
ultra-vires and dangerous for the right of free association. One Dr. Sam Amadi
of immediate past chairman of Nigerian Electricity Regulations Commission
succinctly put it as follows- “The Code is dangerous because it attempts to
abridge the right to free association without any compelling government
interest or threat to national security, defence, public safety and public
order. Therefore it is an unlawful regulation intervention”.
I do not understand Dr. Sam’s school of thought. Who is
dangerously destroying the freedom of association here. Is it the thieves who
lives on falsehood by falsely luring people to come under the umbrella of religion
and the gullible people came and did all the contributions and now it is for
only the cliques? People collect their salary less tax deduction, tithe,
pledges, vows, seed sowings, offerings and many other contributions in the
office and religious ground and nothing to show for it because it has ended up
into few hands. I thought religion is to help and protect the poor, weaklings,
ophans, widows and the likes, is this what we are seeing today? What has led to
armed robbery, kidnappings, Boko Harram’s people fleeing home to a place like
South Africa, desert crossing risks and the likes? Is this not a paradox to Dr.
Sam’s prepositions?
As far as I know the people against the Code either do not
understand the law governing Not-For-Profit Organizations. This Code pivoted
from Companies And Allied Matters Act (CAMA) under Part C.
The Constitution of the Incorporated Trustees under CAMA must
house an Article “Source of Income, Disbursement of the said Income,
Appointment of Auditors and Special Clause”.
SPECIAL CLAUSE:- 1. The
income and properties of a registered Trustees of any organization shall be
applied Solely towards the promotion of the objective of the body as set forth
in this Rules and Regulation/Constitution; and no portion thereof shall be paid
or transferred directly or indirectly, by way of dividend, bonus or otherwise howsoever
by way of profit, to the members of the ministry or association.
2. Provided that
nothing here shall prevent the payment in good faith, or reasonable and proper
remuneration to any officer or servant of the ministry or association in return
for any service actually rendered to the association.
a. With the
exception of ex-officio members of the Governing Council, no member of the
council of management or governing body shall be appointed to any salaried
office of the association or ministry paid by fees.
b. No
remuneration or other benefit in money or money’s worth shall be given by the
body to any member of such council or governing body except repayment of pocket
expences or reasonable and proper rent for the premises demised, or let to the
association or reasonable fees for services rendered.
3. If in the
event of winding up or dissolution of the corporate body if there remains after
the satisfaction of all its debts and liabilities, any Property whatsoever, the
same shall not be paid to or distributed among the members of the association
but shall be given or transferred to some other institution having objects
similar to the object of association or ministry, such institution to be
determined by the members of the association at or before the time of
dissolution.
4. If effect
cannot be given to the aforesaid provisions, then the remaining property shall
be transferred to some charitable object.
Careful perusal of this Special Clause on the Incorporation
of Trustees, what do we make out of it concerning what Nigerian churches and
mosques are going through in the hands of the leaders?
A nation building in lies are turning Not-For-Profit
associations to one man corporate company which is for personal profit.
The only flaw I see in the corporate governance code for
churches is in legislating the life term of office holders and their founders,
which is to be left to the body’s discretionary power, but to accounting and
auditing they must do and account to the church for the income and
expenditures, for it is church money and not personal or cabals’.
The rule in the kingdom of Christ Jesus is Communism as
instituted by the Holy Spirit in the first Century Church and the same Bible
Constitution has not change and cannot be changed by end time ministers. You do
not tell the people you are running a church and they came with that believe
and open heart only to use them for selfish purpose, when they are in need you
denied them with that disappointment they go back to the world with evil report
of church.
The way to run a church is there in the bible and if they did
not see it, and did not know how to run a church, they would have seen and
imitate Jehovah Witness Organizational system and their obedient to the Great
Commission. We can imitate others in all that is good and correct when we did
not get it right, but to re-write the Bible is not acceptable by God.
Holy Spirit cannot sit by and watch all this mess in His
Kingdom and so it is time to go to bases.
The Justice verdict of God is spoken of in the Gospel of John
8:44, Jesus Christ pronounced the religious leaders of His time who do not
dwell in truth as liars, who do the work of their father the devil, when he
speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar and father of it.
There is a reward to all liars. Whether you are in Politics
or Religious circle and disobeying the Constitution that instituted you, and
turned yourself to an individual or corporate thief and liars, the only big eye
watching all mankind will expose and disgrace you.
It is time for restitution, remember that the only
forgiveness for stealing is restitution. If you do not want the hammer of God
upon your head, I plead with you to restitute what you have stolen and sin no
more. God can remove recession from Nigeria if our leaders start to repent from
a life of falsehood and leave a truthful life. We all are still talking about
change and it must start from me! Kudos for reading.
