can you please tell me how other religious bodies have done that?,point out examples

My example will be based on the micro level, as that was the basis of my argument.. Fortunately for me, I have experienced Islam and Christianity so I feel I have an idea of both ends


The Islamic community I found myself in sometimes in the 90s made it mandatory to provide help for her members, help with the schools fees of some wards and sundry others

Later on, the only tin I get to hear in churches is pay this, pay that, if u love Jesus, come and drop so so so money... There was one church I attended and probably like 30 mins to the end, a visiting pastor mounted the alter and in their usual so called spiritual prophetic fashion, he told the average earning congregation to help the ministry of God move foward by pledging #100,000.. I was shocked.. He went further by saying God had revealed it to him that there is a gigantic miracle awaiting such fellow..DAT day, I counted close to 6 members..dats 600,000 in just 15 mins..funnily or lemme say cunningly, the 100k call later came down to 500 naira!!!!!

Can u beat that?

2dugged:
and let me guess other
religious bodies are more benevolent to their members?

Yes!!!

Although its not an appropriate example to draw a comparative study owing to the fact that the volume of followers of one is almost the volume of the other faiths combined together..

All I know is that, the Christian faith needs to take the ware fare of members to the next level!!!

you made a good point, but you ended up showing your biased nature with the bolded, I was expecting you to say religious bodies, with mosques and traditional societies included, except you belong to those class of critics who find it easier to pick on Christians because they know thier fate should they use the same momentum of criticism on Muslims

Good observation ma, saying I was oblivious of that fact means am not been honest.. I actually hammered more on churches because of the indexes we see day in day out compared to other religious bodies.
Am a Christian, schooled and lived among Muslims, but I feel bitter with d approach of the Christian faith towards the warefare of her members!!!

To that 4th poster above me!!!

She is not a serious minded person, hence guys that are already applauding her view should pls take it as a pinch of salt and disregard it in its entirety...
Truth is, there is no difference BTW 6 and halve a dozen!!! What is bad remains bad

There is a popular yourba adage that says;

Ko si bi a ba se fo eboolo ti ko ni ruun igbe!!!

There is more than meets the eye...how will a 85 years old woman result into taking her own life..This life sha

Before opening a thread aimed at rubbishing a particular government, its very sinful not doing a background check of what led to this.. Bearing it in mind that it didn't happen out of the blues, it was a process that snow-balled to this status-quo..

Please take a look at what the law said..remember as insubstantial our law is, its still the law guiding us..Before a law/act is been promulgated, it can still be repelled, but immediately its been promulgated, it becomes a law to guide!!!

The Law

The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) of Nigeria, Code of Corporate Governance, took effect from Monday, October 17, 2016. The aspect of the law, Non-For-Profit Organisations (NFPOs) Governance Code, 2015, which Adejare implicitly referred to, seeks to promote the highest standards of corporate governance. The following are stated in Section 9, which deals with “Position of the Founder or Leader”:

“9.1. The Founder or Leader of a NFPO occupies a special position in the Organisation and is committed to the success and longevity of the NFPO. Accordingly, a Founder or Leader should not take on too many responsibilities in the organisation or have an indefinite term in the running of the organisation.

“9.2. Where for any reason, a Founder or Leader of NFPO also occupies any of the three governance positions of Chairmanship of the Board of Trustees, the Governing Board or Council, and the Headship of the Executive Management (or their governance equivalents), the following provisions shall apply before the end of the organization’s financial year in which this Code takes effect.

“9.2.1. The Founder or Leader shall cease to occupy these three governance positions simultaneously. This is to ensure the separation of powers and avoid possible concentration of powers in one individual.

“9.2.2. The Founder or Leader may however choose – subject to the agreement of the organization’s apex authority as expressed in the Annual General Assembly, Annual Meeting, Annual Stakeholder Engagement, Annual Conference, Annual Synod, Annual Fellowship Assembly or their equivalents – only one of these three governance positions subject to his current tenure. This is to ensure a clear division of responsibilities at the head of the organization between the running of the governing body and the executive responsibility for the management and fulfilment of the organization’s mission.

“9.3. Where the Founder or Leader has occupied all or any of these three governance positions for more than ten years, or is aged seventy years or above, the choice

in section 9.2.2 above should only relate to the Board of Trustees as in section 9.4(c) below. In the case of religious or cultural organisations, nothing in this code is intended to change the spiritual leadership and responsibilities of Founders, General Overseers, Pastors, Imams and Muslim Clerics, Presidents, Bishops, Apostles, Prophets, etc. which are distinguishable from purely corporate governance and management responsibilities and accountabilities of the entities” According to records, only 89 out of the 23, 216 registered churches in the country complied as at last year. Section 39 of the Code deals with “Sanctions“39.1. Compliance with the provisions of this Code is mandatory. Accordingly, violations of the provisions of this Code will occasion both personal sanctions against the persons directly involved in the violation, and sanctions against the NFPOs involved in such violation. “39.2. Where sanctions have been imposed on any NFPO or person for the violation of this Code, the NFPO is precluded from making any reimbursements to that person for the sanctions.”

Lastly, before we delve at the neck of the government, let's ask ourselves these questions!!!

What has your church done to help you in the past 12 months.?

How has the churches in Nigeria come to the aid of the suffering masses during this recession?

How much of your income has gone into the church?

Has your pastor ever called you and demand for your account Number as a way of helping your current situation!


The pastors will always be quick to quote bible verses instructing members to pay offerings and tithes and the evil that will befall their finances with failure to do so!!!
They will never preach how JESUS CHRIST fed 5000 people with five loaves of bread and 2 fishes.

I am waiting for the period when churches will begin to pay Tax!!!

Funny and unintelligent assertion by the " No Man's land" singers
How can a grown adult decides to act like a kindergarten pupil @ d full glare of the public..Geographical components includes; Human geography that is to say, the peculiarities of the people living in a particular area that makes them differ in all ramifications from others, we also have regional geography which explains why river Niger will be River Niger and not river ogbomosho, river ikot Ekpene and Sundry others. It talks about Places, locality et al..regional geography was meant to naturally check-balance, reduce the probability and end the eventuality of confusion, but unfortunately, that purpose has been defeated among the " No man's land " singers

Lagos is located at the lateral western quadrant which falls into the south west category of 8 cardinal point and automatically placed it a Yoruba state( that's the only region in Nigeria where Yoruba tribe comes from).
The only medium where Lagos can at least reasonably fit into your " No man's land" hallucinations is if ( and thats a very big "if" you guys can insert a new element into the 8 cardinal points where ur unintelligent assertion can become the 9th component.

Pavarottii:
The solution was already in place. And they were all been set up by Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. But most Nigerians were to blind to see d writing on d wall.

U fight corruption wiv technology and strengthening of institutions.

Technology- GEJ introduced the E -wallet fertilizer scheme; whereby Farmers get their fertilizers directly in so doing that cut most middle men who would av eaten d funds and nothing getting to d farmers.

BVN- GEJ introduced this to cut of those managing more than one account using it for shady deals and it was use to detect criminals and ghost workers.

TSA - to cut out leakages in accounts of MDA's but it was wrongly implemented by Buhari.

IPPIS - this payment scheme was able to fish out ghost workers and transfer of funds using wrong name.

CBT- introduction of computer based test for jobs and exams to cut out those that r cheating.

All these technology will catch up wiv anybody even if it is GEJ's wife. Cos it's technology.

Institutions- JUDICIARY, EFCC, ICPC, INEC, and otherr independents bodies should av no business wiv d executive. That's why GEJ made sure they were well funded and interfered wiv their matters. Not at anytime did he av a close door meeting wiv dem or dine with their leaders.

And lastly by speeding up court cases against alleged corrupt people after properly carrying out investigations and having ur evidence;

Not declaring someone a thief even b4 he is been tried sef or locking up someone while investigations or disobeying court orders.

We av seen with the method of falsely accusing people without investigating people; wen u eventually go to court, u will loose because u av no concrete evidence other than made up stories. That's why till date, no one has been imprisoned by the buhari led administration.

The amount of beneficiaries from PTF fund from 2009 till 2014 is the same amount of beneficiaries from 1970something till 2009. So where did all d money go to - GEJ, in his last presidential media chat.

If only we gave GEJ another 4years. Corruption will av been reduced.

You forgot to add that he successfully diverted Arms deal meant for insurgency to campaign for an election he ultimately knows that he can't win..

You didn't add that the EXTERNAL DEBT Inherited by GEJ was $3.94 billion Dollars and as @ 2014: $9.3 billion Dollars( He was just borrowing even when we made billions daily) what does that suggest to you..?

You also should add that FOREIGN RESERVE Inherited by GEJ : $47. 7 billion as @December 31st, 2009b..as @ November 7, 2014 it wrinkled to $38.2BILLION

Buhari is neither a saint, but pls, let us let sleeping dog to lie, quoting GEJ is like adding salt to a sore

RoyalBlak007:
In what ways do you think corruption can be rooted out or minimized in Nigeria?

In your own opinion

A major step is amending our corruptophillic constitution
If possible, changing from civilian rule, its has not helped us.
Animalistic approach to perceived corrupt individuals
Removing the veil of tribalism; the fact that your kinsmen defaulted shouldn't mean he/she can evade punishment...a typical example is the James ibori and the people of ogharra community( also Deltans).. They wealth of the state was siphoned by this same man, some of this people are so wretched and living a ramshackle God forsaken life due to the uneven distribution of wealth caused by this same Ibori..yet, they say "Monkey no fine, but hn mama like am"
Is that not madness!!!

Angeleyez0811:
I don't know why they always find a way to involve Islam with whatever bullshit Going on in their religion, can't y'all just let the sleeping Dog lie? In the actual since Christians are the most intolerant people on earth. They always try to provoke the so called "violent" people and when shit hits the fan they begin to call Muslims intolerant and shit after the provocation. Cos there's no day I come on nairaland and I won't see a direct or subliminal attack on Islam or Muslims or Muhammad. Y'all should just get a job or better still....... Get a life.

So y did u quote me an innocent fellow to your claims..
That is assault and slander on my personality.

Joiceee:
@ op, dis z nt true. I jst think she z nt being free wit u (lyk u said, she z shy.) just try and be friendly and Jovial she would change.
Am actually talking frm experience. I used to behave lyk dat towards a guy i was dating then, but believe me when i met someone that i was free with ( may be because he was jovial and friendly) i changed.

That means u didn't make effort to change the situation with the previous guy even when u were absolutely sure the fault came from u.

To ur post, there are actually some guys that are introverted naturally, they can't light up the moment, just Sidon look with babe.
My younger bro came to xperience Lagos last year with his girlfriend, and both were mute from beginning till end.at a point, I had to ask him whether they are having a 'silent competition'

Joephat:
I met a lady who promised to date me on the ground that there won't be Sex and She won't Visit me so as to Avoid Sex..

How can this Work out?

Its like eating rice without pepper
Run for your life

[quote author=LVStone post=52598910]Hello everyone, I really need candid opinion that can help move my relationship forward.

I and my fiancee are born-again Christian with no sex relationship for 3years now. Not even kissing let alone other stuff and we are both Virgins.

I am a graduate with a relatively good Job and she is a final year student in the University.

I really love her but their are things I covet in other relationships that I think its normal for me to have it without demanding it from her.

1. She doesn't call me love names until 3months ago that I forced her to.
2. She doesn't discuss what she feels about me but enjoys me telling her what I feel about her.
3. She doesn't cook for me.
4.She avoids mature discussions relating to sex and of course I am not a kid. I sometimes bring this up to know her sexual orientation not because I wanted sex.
5. She forcefully tell me she loves me until recently that she developed courage to do so.
6. She is so shy to show me any actions of love when we are together let alone in the public.

Am sorry to say this, but will say it anyway!
To be frank, I don't think she loves you..I mean that type of love a lady will show that will deem her fit for marriage.. Secondly, don't be surprised if you later get to know that there is someone she says all those love u miss you to.
Spirituality isn't tantamount to lack of love, care and mostly affection. As a mata of fact, even the lord Jesus Christ encourages us to show love in which she has "spiritually" defaulted.
There is more u need to uncover abt your partner that is still hidden to you.
