I know you are muslim so it doesnt concern you!

There are already enough laws to moderate the running of NGOs. This proposed bill (if what has been stated is true) portends evil. Why should the government which is saddled with so much already be interested in monitoring Church funds? Well established Churches have Parish Councils and most of the funds are for administration, charity and future development. How does this concern government having taken tax from the members?

The legislators should concentrate their energy on laws that will make corruption and looting more difficult in governance. Going by EFCC reports, we're yet to sort out issues on missing funds and mismanagement of funds in government. Let's start from there.

OP is spreading lies to the lazy and gullible:

statement by the house leader read in part: "Religious bodies and organisations are not NGOs. Our quasi-financial institutions at local levels are not NGOs! These organisations have existed for centuries to serve businesses and commerce of our market women and traders,” he said.

“However, recent developments have shown that some people registered NGOs, solicited for funds and disappeared. That happened recently in the north-east. Some NGOs are used to fund the activities of terrorist and insurgents.

he NGO bill, therefore, is primarily to set up a commission to regulate their activities and provide a platform for robust relationships between them and the government for the interests of Nigerians.

“In addition, it is to ensure transparency and accountability in the ways and manners the NGOs collect monies and use them for Nigerians. Finally, the way the NGOs are reacting to this wonderful and well-packaged bill, particularly SERAP is not only shameful but condemnable.

“The Nigerian parliament is an institution governed by rules and traditions. When a bill is for public hearing you go there and present your views like other interested Nigerians and invited corporate bodies and government agencies for the standing committee to do justice to the bill. Period.

“Going on cheap propaganda and blackmail and even calling on world bodies including the United Nation to help you withdraw a bill from our national assembly will not help you.”

Why would the op lie and create false tales to decieve the lazy and gullible?

Emphasis on why only Churches from a Muslim sponsored bill. How will the Muslims community in Nigeria feel if Christian should attempt a bill to regulating how they worship? Will such not the declared a haram?
