IgbereTV reports that the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has said that there will be no going back on the new Company and Allied Matters Act (CAMA). CAC said the new act has come to stay in the country despite the public outcry that has greeted it.

The Commission said it was only waiting for the legislature to gazette it for immediate implementation of the law.

The CAMA bill was recently signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari, and was included in his list of achievements for the last one year.

The Christians Association of Nigeria (CAN), had recently described CAMA as satanic, demanding that the President halts the implementation of “the obnoxious and ungodly law until religious institutions are exempted from it.”

The CAC Registrar-General, Alhaji Garba Abubakar, while speaking to Commerce Correspondents Association of Nigeria (CICAN) in Abuja yesterday wondered why the act was being opposed by religious bodies, especially the churches.

“They must henceforth subject their finances and expenditures for proper auditing, and copies sent to us at the CAC,” he said.

He explained further, “The new legal framework applies to all organizations ed with us; be it a religious organisation, NGO or CSO.

“ that they also have constitutions guiding them. The criteria to be a trustee of ed organisations are clearly spelt out in the laws establishing them.

“How is it that a ed member who qualifies to be a trustee in an organisation would not want government to know how the organisation is run? What are the responsibilities of the trustees?

“What are the responsibilities of the governing council or the board? How do you manage the affairs of the organisation? How do you use or expend the income and properties of the organisation? How do you appoint of the governing board? These are the issues the new CAMA has come to address.”

FG should first manage their finance before looking for who to help

it's the job of the federal government to protect it's citizens from scammers

Those against CAMA Amendment are either ill-informed or mischievous.

In sane societies like USA, South Africa, UK, Europe, Australia etc, there are agencies that regulate religious organisations, CSOs and NGOs. Why should Nigeria's be different?

Some people said it is a fight against the church, and I ask, which Church?

If the Bible is right, the Church is the congregation of believers. It is not a building or religious organisation. And believers don't need any formal nomenclature or organisation to worship. The Bible says where two or three are gathered, CHRIST is present. The Bible never said people should establish organisations, neither did the early Christians establish organisations.

Now let's look this....

A man wakes up on a faithful morning, he approaches CAC (Government) to his organisation, which he names XYZ Church

He lists himself, his wife, Kids or associates as Trustees

He gets certificate from the government to operate...

Yet, he argues with the government that they have no right to regulate the activities of the same organisation that he went to government to .

He shouts persecution, war against the church and God.

Meanwhile, he is the final authority and CEO in the religious organisation, and won't hesitate to show the exit door to anyone that questions his authority.

The irony is that he abides to similar laws abroad...


As much as I'm not a fan of this istration, I this CAMA... Although Nigeria politicians are useless

FACT:

FG or any other government cannot regulate the "Church" (congregation of believers). Even the Roman government couldn't regulate the Church.

However, government can only regulate religious organisations (formal organizations) that are ed with the government in line with the constitutional mandate.

The rule is simple, don't your organisation with government if you don't want to be regulated... Same way you don't your business and NGO with government if you don't want their regulation...

Shit transperacy

sure client ...wish my business can have customers like u

I blame the Senate for ing such outlandish law.

This will only lead to religion tension, watch out.

The church will always WIN.

There are some aspects that make sense in the law. I will not like a situation where people will formed NGO include churches and turn it to family business also. However government should understand that spiritual issues is different from physical issues. I therefore suggest that government should not intervene in church affairs except the church is going contrary to its own constitution.

Nigerian police is scam, hospital scam... Imagine, you even typed "What do your church provide?" Do you also need to be told that schools provided by the recent government sef na scam?

Most nigerian churches do not want to be able even to their parting away with their hard earned resources. Everything is covered using the name of God.

The govt just want these churches to be more able

That is how the government came with hate speech bill that it prevent the political tension in the country.. suddenly naira info was charged 5milion naira for hate speech because mailafia spoke out against the government in his interview

Religion tension for where?
They know that Nigerians will adjust & adapt to it.

Only the dead sign a devilish bill against God.

...do the math.

Many Nigerians are senseless they couldn't like to pay tax for government that can offer them Roads ,Hospitals and many other things but like contributing for religious Leaders who has nothing to offer them than promising Imaginary Heaven which no one had ever go and come back to tell us how it is. But the noise of these Christians is too much as if the law only applicable to churches only .They will only blame government for everything they lack but failed to Question where they contributed their major hard earn resource to simply because of religious sentiment .

this is a fight for all,we are too Docile about important issues. Who will fight for us

come to think of it,are the Muslims also subjected to such?

No matter how good this policy is Christian will never trust it's implementation under under a sectarianist like Buhari...Under a leader thats fair this won't be a problem but under Buhari it's a no no

This sheet happened in USA sometime ago

Please where is that RCCG Pastor?

If a country must break something must first go wrong

This is a good thing.

The most unapologetically and fantastically corrupt government in the world wants to hold Christian churches able over their finances .
