RUMPUS OVER CODE

The Nation Editorial of Wednesday 18 January 2017.

Rumpus over Code

Take another look at the FRC Act. Jim Obazee has learnt a bitter lesson following his sack by the Federal Government over his zeal to enforce the Governance Code of the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) he presided over had generated. The former Executive Secretary of the council was summarily sacked without efforts to give him a hearing.

It was yet another indication that the government could sacrifice anyone if ever it feels embarrassed by actions taken by him or his agency. The code aims at regulating practices within the churches, mosques and other registered Not-for-Profit Organisations. The code had claimed a big victim in the person of Pastor Enoch Adeboye who was the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

The persona of Pastor Adeboye looms very large and his word was law. He presided over the church, all its divisions and structures. This, the FRC frowned at, arguing that a spiritual leader should not at the same time have the last say on spending and administration.

EXCLUSIVE: The possibility of a Tiwa Savage, Tee Billz reunion

Rumours are just rumours - reports that go around which are peddled as fact or the truth. There is only a small chance or likelihood that a rumour turns out to be true.

The latest report straight from the rumour mill is that pop queen Tiwa Savage is back with her husband and former manager Tunji 'Tee Billz' Balogun.

The re-union story quietly started when Tiwa Savage posted a photo of her son Jamil Balogun in July when he turned one. "You are my reason for everything ... Dada and Mama love you so much #JamJamIsOne" wrote Tiwa Savage in the caption of the photo. Apparently the word 'dada' indicated to some that Tiwa Savage and Tee Billz have patched things up.

Also on July 26, 2016 popular comedian Ali Baba stated that he believes that Tee Billz and Tiwa Savage would reconcile soon. These two instances have somehow snowballed into the headline that "Tiwa Savage and Tee Billz are back."
