“not Even UN Can Stop The NGO Bill” – Umar Buba Jibril For House Of Reps by mrstardz(m): 5:06am On Sep 27, 2017
The House of Representatives has vowed to go ahead with the Bill seeking to regulate the activities of Non-Governmental Organizations and Civil Society Organizations.

The House made its position known in a statement by the Deputy Majority Leader, Hon. Umar Buba Jibril, on Thursday.
Jibril said in a statement that not even the United Nations, to which some of the NGOs and CSOs have appealed to, can prevail on the National Assembly to stop the process for the passage of the Bill.

He said: “Going on cheap propaganda and blackmail and even calling on World bodies including the United Nations to help you withdraw a bill from our National Assembly will not help you!”

Jibril, however, in the statement, said churches, mosques and thrift societies are not going to be affected by the Bill.



The statement by Jibril is reproduced below:

“House clears the air on NGO regulation Bill
…Some NGOs collected funds for North East IDPs and disappeared
…Churches, Mosques, Esusu, Market Women Associations not affected.
Religious bodies and organizations are NOT NGOs
Our quasi financial institutions at local levels are NOT NGOs! These organizations have existed for centuries to serve businesses and commerce of our market women and traders.
Now NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) and CSOs (Civil Society Organizations) are voluntary organizations that are registered to partner Government at all levels to fill gaps wherever they exist. They are supposed to be partners in progress with the Government; therefore the need for a commission to serve this purpose arises
Secondly and naturally for them to carry out their activities, the NGOs and CSOs solicit for funds from all over the World and collect billions of naira on behalf of Nigerians!
Thirdly they recruit expatriates to help them run their activities in the country with lots of abuses.
Etc etc
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!
Etc etc
The NGOs 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 moneys and use them for Nigerians.
The NGOs bill is not new or peculiar to Nigeria. It exists in many countries particularly in the ECOWAS sub-region and all over Africa and other continents. In Europe, Israel passed theirs last year! Kenya has a similar law since 1990!
Nigeria is and should not be a banana republic where anything goes.
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 cooperate 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 Nations to help you withdraw a bill from our National Assembly will not help you!”

This man is deeply insane.

The Bill “is clearly intended to encourage the excesses of bad government”. The Bill endangers constitutional guarantees of freedom of association, assembly, speech and even of freedom of conscience and religion and “will license unconstitutional discrimination too.” They are just working on taking this country back to military rule.

Nigeria is finish,
Youths are abandoning their homes and country in sojourn for greener pasture due to psychological Python dancing around their progress.

We call them leaders, but these men have become machines.

That law must not pass! Phone your senator and tell. Senator Umar has only 1 vote!

Unless the law is watered down and the toxic parts removed, it must not pass. We must not encourage bad behaviour.

USAID is not NGO, is an agency of the united states and beside tell me any foreign foreign NGO that is not regulated inits country.

What are these NGOs afraid of sef, if you are clean what is there in monitoring their activities, mind you in this same Nigeria people set up NGOs for political relevance, blackmail or money laundry. In every industry there are bad eggs as it is NGO is an industry in Nigeria due to it proliferation so there must be bad eggs and it should be regulated

you need to stop lying, okay?
You haven't even read the bill.

For what it's worth, the bill is to checkmate many disparities within the useless NGOs just springing up here and there.

In fact, more importantly, the bill is going to help many NGOs with genuine interest.

For example, provide govt assistance through waivers, intervention with foreign Bodies etc.

All those importing arms and sending in money for terrosim, now, it's time to tell us what money you received and what you used it for...

Unlike they doing as they like.

No auditing, no financial responsibility.

Abegii...

Up Nigerian assembly!
Step up and do what you think will take d country to the next level afterall you were elected to represent all of us.
We are human therefore, there should regulation in whatever we do. Left to me, even d churches and mosques should be regulated.
If you don't hv skeleton in y our cupboard, why are you worried about a set of ppl being regulated.
