Politics › Re: Lagos East Senatorial Poll: It Is Now Tokunbo Abiru Vs Babatunde Gbadamosi by agabusta: 1:58am On Sep 06, 2020
This APC candidate is an intellectual, financial and highly networked heavyweight.

What most people fail to realise about Lagos APC, is that they usually push forward high quality candidates backed by a solid political structure that is in every nook and cranny of the state. That is why the PDP has been failing to dislodge them over and over again.

The intellectual background of the candidates usually gives a good showing with the highly educated population, while the ubiquitous political structure gives them the edge with the indigenous community people, market women and the likes.

These category of people, despite that they are not vocal/visible on the traditional/new media, are a solid and loyal voting bloc than the Twitter people.

They will dictate the pace of this senatorial election which will definitely not generate as much interest as a general election.

The APC candidate will snatch a boring victory in the election.

SouthPaw24:
Normally no be by mouth. But he's right about Joshua's jab. Efe Ajagba should work on his skills as well. He has the longest reach in boxing (tied with Tyson Fury) so he might stand a chance against Joshua. He should gain more experience and develop his skills. He's still at least two years away from beating Joshua.

But low-key na Andy Ruiz start this thing. When Joshua lost to him, he lost the reverence he had in the heavyweight division. Andy Ruiz showed that Joshua can be beaten. He exposed several weak points, one of which is his undeveloped jab. You'd notice how he employed the jab in the rematch, but he still looked very uncomfortable doing it.
He is wrong about Joshua's jab!

Joshua's jab stings and hurts and they are fast!

Go and watch AJ's fight with Joseph Parker and Carlos Takam. Aj used his jab to design their faces. AJ throws hard and fast jabs.

The Royal family is very large. The Oba has many brothers and cousins from his paternal lines who are also princes in their own right. They can also be king because they have the same bloodline.The Kings younger brother becomes Oba and his descendants pick up kingships till they die. It stays in the same family no matter whose Ox is god

if AJ go into the ring with Efe, Aj will lose the fight, he knows who Efe is, I read through everyone's comments, you guys are saying Efe is amateur no problem, let aj fight with him and see the out come of the fight
Let Ajagba first fight those Aj has defeated.

He needs to walk his way up. So many young hungry Heavy weights out there.

Dubois, Joyce, Kownacki, Michael Hunter, Oleksandr Usyk, Andy Ruiz, etc

He needs to triumph over these tough young dudes before even dreaming AJ.

I like Ajagba, but in his current form, I doubt if he can defeat the highly fast, flexible and athletic Dubois or Oleksandr Usyk.

He needs to do more work from a highly cerebral coach in order to get to the level of these equally young guys.

I had to look that up, that victory came from a match he never throw a punch...the opponent stepped outta the ring after the sound of the bell.
Because of contract issues with his promoters. Not actually because of the fear of Ajagba.

Which boxer of note has Ajagba dethroned? None. Aj has defeated Vladimir Klitschko, Joseph Parker, Alexander Povetkin and Whyte.

In his Amateur/Olympic days, which medals did Ajagba win?? None. For your information Anthony Joshua won gold in Olympics super heavy weight boxing.

Anthony Joshua has better records in both Amateur and professional boxing than this guy. He needs to shut up, show respect and work his way up.

Even if he wants, he cannot even get a fight with AJ in the next 2 years. He is too down the bottom of the ring.

If you are a boxing fan, you'd know that in their current form, AJ will dispatch this guy max at Round 5. He is too slow and rigid. He needs more training.

Go and watch AJ's 10 first fights as a pro and compare to Ajagba's.

If he has performed as an incumbent and have the goodwill of the people he doesn't need all these shenanigans. He's only to ensure free, fair, credible and violent free election.

He contested with the present Governor last time out in the general election and he pulled about 70k votes.

The current Governor won him with about 13k votes.
He has learnt a lot from the previous election and will be better placed to handle things this time around.
He is loved by youths and has a large youth followership.
His support base cuts across the three local government areas in the senatorial district.

Yes the APC has its strength in Central and East senatorial districts respectively and his local government area is the largest in the state.
Do did your candidate win the primary?

I have been advocating for this.

I dont know why no Member of the House has ever put forward such a proposal.

They should merge NIMC with NPC to give National Identity Management and Population Commission (NIMPC).

Goke7:
Sir, most of the churches are not following the teachings of Christ then cos the courts are full of so many church cases. Can you see how the church has invited the world or govt to pry into it's affairs? So who is truly responsible for all planned laws? Are you aware of so many church leadership disputes in Nigerian courts?

I really appreciate all your thoughts so far. The ultimate solution to all these is for the church to self regulate which is where the churches in Nigeria has failed to do. This is why CAN or PFN was even set up but the problem has always been that no one want to be accountable to anybody as everyone claim they are called by God and only accountable to him which has always been the gimmick used to cover all atrocities lots of churches and pastors have been associated with. Like I said earlier let's stop pretending that all is well. Even in the genuine churches there are issues cos they have all failed to self regulate. This is why the idea that the pastors and churches should be left alone to do as they please cannot hold water anymore. As you have also pointed out, many are no longer following the teachings of Christ in resolving even their internal issues.

The day nigerian churches truly uphold righteousness and integrity, they will find it easier to tell govt to look away from it's affairs but all your theological theories of how church can handle itself is not working in any Nigerian church today except we want to tell ourselves lies and the pastors themselves know it.

According to Scriptures, every govt is ordained by God and they bear not the sword in vain, reason we are enjoined to always pray for those in authority to guide us in all godliness and honesty. The church in Nigeria despite the gains in terms of number of, attendance, souls and conversions has not been a very good example in the last 20 years in the area of integrity and holiness, gone are the days employers of labour seek referrals from churches and pastors for employment, gone are the days cheques from churches are honoured at banks without much questions. The Nigerian church need to do soul searching and return to righteousness, then we don't need to be fighting with govt on pages of newspapers. It has nothing to do with whoever in aso rock after all we had non christians as Presidents when the church still had much respect and honour than today. Telling the govt that they have no spiritual competence to pry into church affairs is double speaking as the church too has not enough spiritual competence to handle its own internal affairs from what we have seen over the years.

Whatever is happening today is a call to the church by God to awake and return to righteousness. God bless you bro and blessed week to you and yours.
You write so well. These submissions are apt!

May the good Lord bless you with more wisdom.

Agbegbaorogboye:
Again, find out things before you jump to conclusions. In the UK where such happened to winners and MFM recently, the trustees where not suspended. What was done was that financial running of the church was taken over by an administrator while trustees remained to continue to serve the spiritual aspects of the church.
Good you now agree that it's "few" members or pastors aka trustees that are privy to the financial details of the church which is what FRC requires. No law requires that all members be informed.
I don't know where you get the idea that churches have a lot to hide. You can cite examples to buttress your claim.

You come across as a moralist more than a practising Christian not to mention your poor knowledge of Christianity which you brandish so confidently.
Jesus is God in human form. Him confronting the Pharisees was as a result of his superiority as the son of God.
Peter was not head of the church. James was. He's called James the Elder.
Go and read first Samuel. They got a king and a curse with it.
God expressly stated that the judgements of his servants lies with him and not man. In cases of erring pastors, pastors higher than such in spiritual hierarchy are too enforce discipline not the church members. The church members are to pray for God's grace to save his servants. God's standards are not man's.
Be guided.
This is a serious matter oh. Who is now a Christian?

In view of the recent noise about CAMA 2020 and its inherent powers to sack the Board of Trustees of Charity organisations including religious bodies, this thread seems to beam light on the actual duties of A Church Board of Trustees.

I have also come to realise that a lot of church members do not even know those who are made up of the Board of Trustees of their church.

I will attempt to garner information on the Trustees of some popular churches in Nigeria.

EIGHT ( 8 ) CHURCH BOARD RESPONSIBILITIES
JANUARY 14, 2020 BY PATRICIA

https://smartchurchmanagement.com/church-board-responsibilities/


Most churches rely on the donations of its members to fund its mission. Members enjoy a tax deduction for these donations that are freely given to churches that maintain nonprofit status with the IRS (Tax Authority).

One of the requirements for maintaining a nonprofit status is to have an oversight board. Church board responsibilities are many but the most important is to ensure that the ministry is financially viable and that it fulfills its core mission.

This is done by developing strategy, monitoring performance and ensuring church financial accountability for the sacrificed donations of its members.

Church boards make certain a meaningful mission is implemented effectively.

Effective boards have an impact on the long-term viability of the organization and have a vested interest in how well the church implements the strategy of achieving its mission.

This is done by meeting regularly while actively overseeing the key operational functions – which are church budget oversight, top leader performance evaluation, strategic performance management, and legal compliance.

EIGHT ( 8 ) CHURCH BOARD RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Strategic Planning
The board is responsible for articulating the church’s core mission and developing a strategy and plan to achieve it.

This is done by going through a formal strategic planning process. Develop a mission, vision and values statement and operational goals that map out the specific steps needed for achieving the mission.

Delegate those goals to specific departments of the church.

For instance, if the church has an objective to create outreach programs for its community, write actionable goals and delegate those responsibilities to someone. Then hold them accountable for getting it done.

2. Managing Performance
The board is responsible for monitoring and holding leadership accountable for doing their job.

This is done by developing annual church goals, delegating that responsibility to leadership, and then monitoring the progress.

Show support by delegating decision-making and authoritative boundaries for achieving those goals.

For example, the Executive Pastor should understand the boundaries of his authority for making tactical decisions about the day-to-day operations of the ministry. This decision-making authority removes decision bottlenecks that can hinder the progress toward achieving a goal.

3. Financial Oversight
The board oversees and ensures there is responsible stewardship of church resources, and that it maintains financial accountability, and solvency.

This is done by approving and overseeing the annual church budget.

church board responsibilities
Provide input and direction into strategy and prioritize spending to ensure that the strategy has the necessary financial resources to support it.

Financial oversight includes identifying independent outside auditors to perform occasional audits to safeguard against embezzlement, ensure good business practices, and to maintain compliance with state and federal laws.

4. Managing Compensation
The board is responsible for chartering a compensation committee.

This committee is responsible for benchmarking top church leader’s compensation, making recommendations for pay and housing allowance, and approving salaries of senior leadership.

5. Ensure Legal Compliance
Church boards are responsible for adhering to laws that govern nonprofit organizations.

This includes the duties of care, loyalty, and obedience.

The board has a responsibility to ensure that the church stays true to its core mission by participating in decision-making, using good judgment, setting aside personal interests to ensure the best interest of the organization is kept, and by complying with governing laws.

6. Monitor Conflict-of-Interest
The board is responsible for ensuring there are no conflicts-of-interest and puts policies and systems in place to ensure full disclosure of any potential conflicts between outside organizations and church employees or the board.

For instance, if a church board member owns a painting company, this could be a potential conflict if that company is given preferential treatment for outsourced painting jobs.

Do this by creating a conflict of interest policy that requires employees and board members to disclose potential conflicts and sign a conflict of interest statement.

7. Maintain Supporting Documents and Board Records
The board is responsible for ensuring all board records are kept including:

board minutes
mission, vision, values statement,
church bylaws,
articles of incorporation
and any policies that govern the board function.
Manage these documents by housing them on secure servers and controlled file cabinets.

8. Board Training
Help new board members by providing the appropriate orientation and training for their role.

This includes a review of all corporate documents, job descriptions, and responsibilities.

Also, orient them to understand the legal requirements for board members. There are many church board training resources that can help.

Anyone who is chosen to be part of a church board should recognize the honor and incredible responsibility that comes with that role.

Having a good understanding of role responsibilities, coupled with thorough training, is a great way to get a board member equipped to serve the church.
