    HAVE YOUR SAY: What do you think of Nigeria's proposed NGO regulation bill? Will it help crack down on illegal NGOs or stifle NGOs' work?

        For as long as we can remember, NASS has refused to make known to the public how much each of them take home but have time for NGO bill.

        Also you can check @ogundamisi Thread & provide counter arguments if you have any. People cannot just become rich by starting an NGO.

        It will crack down on illegal NGOs. Hope QUANGOs too will be part of the regulatory bill. I support it.

        As much as the bill may seem to look good, let NASS first live by example. Those who are living in a glass house should not throw stone.

        It's just a plot by Nigerian senators to exploit the NGO's. Nigeria has bigger problems like balance of trade and being a consumer nation.

        It's a crack down on freedom & social justice. They govt at all levels are trying to clampdown on any opposition or checks on their power.

        @ogundamisi it will stifle development of very many legitimate NGO's and make leadership more unaccountable than ever. Be warned.
