Charity Commission appoints Interim Manager to charity under investigation 12 August 2014

The Charity Commission, the regulator of charities in England and Wales has appointed an Interim Manager to the charity Christ Embassy (ed charity number 1059247) ('the charity'). The Commission used its powers under the Charities Act to appoint Mr Rod Weston of Mazars as Interim Manager of the charity to the exclusion of the charity's trustees as a temporary and protective measure. He took over the management of the charity on Monday 11 August. The charity's trustees have been informed of the decision, and the Interim Manager will be communicating with the charity's beneficiaries. In July 2013, the regulator opened a statutory inquiry into the charity to investigate a number of serious concerns relating to the financial management of the charity, including in particular large connected party payments. Since then a books and records inspection has been carried out and the regulator has obtained information from and met the trustees, however, the regulator's concerns about the financial management of the charity have not been resolved. The appointed Interim Manager will: take over the management of the charity, including its staff, assets, interests, and relations with third parties discharge the functions of a charity trustee of the charity to the exclusion of the current charity trustees of the charity take any steps necessary to secure and take control of the assets of the charity The religious activities of the charity are not affected; the Interim Manager is taking steps and working with the pastors to ensure this remains the case. It is the Commission's normal practice to publish a report on its website on conclusion of an inquiry setting out what issues the inquiry looked at, what actions were undertaken as part of the inquiry and what the outcomes were.

POSTER HOLD UP!!!

You it the guy has been cheating on you, but the advice you want is about his stinginess!

Well, you clearly shouldn't be with someone that cheats on you. But it seems that cheating is the lesser evil here when compared with him not giving you money/material things.

Na wa o!

Big up Miss Tanzania, proudly rocking her natural hair!

Real men, real women..
Everyone's so sure they know what the real is.

Here's my take. If this open apology makes women feel better, let it go viral so that all women can feel better. The men that don't need to apologise are busy keeping their women happy.

Abegi to all those strenuously disclaiming the Nigerian link! Is it not this same Nairaland that had page after page of people with Nigerian heritage winning Olympic medals for other countries at the London Olympics...and dat time nobody talk!

Y'all better balance your opinions and stop acting like the very people you are accusing!

Still clapping!!!

The most balanced and objective view on feminisim and the changing roles of the sexes that I've ever read.

Debt itself is not really the problem. It's only really a problem if it's symptomatic of bad financial management.

If the guy has got a sound financial head on his shoulders then things should be fine on that front. It looks like responsible debt since it's a student loan, which was used to upgrade his skills (unless the credit card debt is astronomical).

In an age where the world is providing more equal opportunity to both sexes, there will be many cases where the woman is ahead of the man financially. As long as the man has good prospects and financial discipline, the woman providing for him in a serious relationship/marriage shouldn't be an issue as it is likely to be temporary.

...and the assertion that the white/light skinned woman with the long straight hair is the most beautiful continues. Not a single dark skinned woman in the entire list!

Now wonder Brazilian hair and bleaching creams are flying off the shelf in Naija. Anyway, maybe it's our fault. We too should come out with our beautiful list to include dark skinned women with a variety of black hairstlyes that we can be proud of.

Please let it be known that I am writing this after drinking a cool glass of haterade.

Columbia and NYU I understand, but how useful will the apartment be if the daugther is in Harvard which is like 2 states away.

Anyway, REEESSSPPEEECCCCCTTTT! Although I feel the daughter's life has already been mapped out by the parents. I hope she responds appropriately.

cupid4ig: U go fear naija and their I too sabi brains. The op asked what will make a single lady date a married man and u guys are here answering the question of who is to blame. That's why there is alot of failures in in our schools today. Inability to comprehend simple English.

I like plenty plenty! After reading some posts, I had to go back to re-read the original post again to make sure it wasn't me that misunderstood the question.

OP. The only thing I can say is that if you're innocent, stay calm, you will be vindicated.

Sorry to have a go at the self righteous commentators on here, but when someone comes here looking for advice it's because they are in a dilemma. Often that dilemma is caused by their own mistakes. To keep harping on about why they made the mistake is just moral self indulgence.

Nice one Ms Silva!

ItsModella: LMAO!!! I know all the manbitches will soon start attacking her.

Aunty Joke, carry go jare, nurrin does you.

Ada Nri1: I don't blame her. If her husband is not complaining pucknosers should stay out! Simple

kulyie: exactly.they look more like best friends,not like all this new generation marriages where they will spend millions of naira for the wedding,at the end of the day they will turn themselves to boxing mates.mshewww.i know men will still come here with their ever loose mouths to start blabbing nonsense

Na wah o! Some pent up aggression from our females up in here. Lol!

There are probably more single ladies that favour polygny than we realise. A lot of it is financial. They can't understand why a wealthy married man should share all his wealth with just one woman. They must get their share, either as a mistress or as a second/third/fourth wife. Of course the greed goes both ways as the man too believes he should have as many beautiful women as he can handle.

It's the poor to middle income guys that are suffering, hunting up and down for a woman, while the rich man is handling 3, 4, 5.. at the same time.

There are many single guys out there ready to settle down, they just don't meet the financial requirements of a lot of these "big girls".

coogar:

blue collar workers? do you know how much they pocket per day? a plumber makes about £5000 per month....professors don't make that in nigeria. besides, there's a market for top dog foods and a market for the wacky ones. income disparity has nothing to do with it. poor people in nigeria keep dogs as pets. it's what you feed the dogs that matters. if a rich man wants to treat his dog royal, it's his prerogative.

First bolded - Nowhere have I said that poor people in Nigeria don't keep dogs as pets.
Second bolded - I already said something to that effect in my earlier post.

I was tempted to explain my point even further, but I don't think you want to understand what I'm driving at, so I'll just leave my earlier posts to speak for themselves.

coogar:

you would be shocked then when you travel abroad and see how white people treat their pets. how many of these folks have willed their money/properties to their pets instead of giving it to the starving african kids.

this woman left $13m for her cat.. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2011/12/woman-leaves-13m-fortune-to-pet-cat/ and she is not the only one to have done it. a cursory glance at google would show you hundreds of rich people leaving inheritance for their pets. microcosm for the nigerian society? i doubt any nigerian is as crazy as going that far.

That's not really what I meant though.

The point I was trying to make is about the income disparity in the Nigerian economy that leads to someone spending almost double an adult workers salary on one dog's FOOD.

Over here in England, I come across blue collar workers (labourers, plumbers, etc) and most of them can afford to keep a dog as a pet and buy proper pet food. Comparing it to the Nigerian situation described by the poster is disheartening.

For me, the rich man feeding a dog with more money than he pays a worker is not something to judge him for personally. It's just a function of the economy he lives in. Everybody should be free to spend their hard earned money however they wish. However, if we can step back and look at the bigger picture, ie take the above situation as a microcosm for the Nigerian society in general, then it leads us to the real issue of income disparity.

Let's not look at this story too narrowly, but think of it as a microcosm for the Nigerian society.

"The rich man's dog gets more in the way of vaccination, medicine and medical care than the workers upon whom the rich man's wealth is built." Samora Machel

It's unfortunate that most of the people centred leaders that Africa had (Samora Machel, Thomas Sankara etc) died before their time. They had pointed some of these things out decades ago.

In the absence of such leaders, we can follow the posters intentions, with everyone doing what they can for others. For example, if you employ workers, as long as you can afford it, try to pay them a "living wage" which will be more than the minimum wage set by the government.

It's all down to personal experience. Many people have seen both bad and good marriages, and they have seen how some couples use great PR to make their bad marriage appear good to the world. Hence their cynicism.

Having said that, on a forum like this, I try to abide by the rule that what people say about their personal lives is true (unless as someone mentioned before, it's too outrageous to believe).

I think another issue, that we may not have touched on, is that people present their ideal relationships/marriages while giving advice to others. So for example, they may say "don't ever take this from your man/woman, in my own relationship, that can never happen" etc. While it may be true and I don't think we should go about questioning peoples' personal stories, it can be a little bit irritating when there's no attempt to tailor the advice or recognise there are different dynamics to other relationships.

When a lady has a marriage proposal, aren't her priorities misplaced if her worry is about being called cheap?

This judgement sets the wrong precedent and creates a moral hazard.

What legal deterrent is there for any woman planning to, or already ing off someone else's kids to her husband, if she knows the law will always be on her and the kids side?

In general, I'd say that people should no longer be surprised about any domestic judgements against men in the West.

My thoughts are along the lines of Zechy09.

Girl loves her man, knows he is not perfect, but believes he is the perfect man for her. She can't wait to finish school so she can marry him and they can build their lives together. He sends her an "I diot" text and all those dreams come crashing down permanently.

Interesting.

uj_sizzle:
OP good one jare. The women chasing men thing only works out well for a few.

Few "chasing things" work out well, regardless of who's chasing!

Moving on to the OP's article, it's ridiculous for a girl to act aloof to someone she could potentially have a great relationship with. This may include texting/calling the guy at appropriate times.

No guy becomes a jerk just because a girl he likes called him during the so called chase.

There are so many negative stories about men, that anytime I see one celebrating anything about men I can only say a big THANK YOU.

So THANK YOU Debrief!

It's a difficult one, but I think the views of the parents (even parents that were willing to give their child out as a maid) can't be ignored.

The fact that you respect her parents decision will go a long way in her also maintaining a certain amount of respect for her parents.

You'll have to convince her parents about this BB idea. It'll be great if you can, but if they remain unconvinced, please don't go ahead with it.

Maybe the males are busy spending money on their wives and girlfriends!

https://nairaland.isosite.org/1148941/wifes-idea-spending

Then maybe the wives and girfriends spend this money (at their discretion) being generous to their family. Just a theory.

The OP has already received his responses. My own contribution is that this thread should serve as a warning to those intending to get married. Among other things, make sure you have the same financial philosophy.
Clearly, there are still two schools of thought about marriage finances. Some women just have the mentality that it is a man's responsibility to provide for them. Single people, shine your eyes well!

Assuming that the wife earns a reasonable amount relative to her husband, her demands for an allowance are unreasonable.

However, the OP has already married her. As for me, I always tell people, once you're married, you have to deal with the person you married. As ridiculous as it sounds to me, it is possible that you may have to compromise (only as a last resort though) on this one if that is what will allow peace to reign in your house.

It is one of those senseless daft comparisons meant to brainwash fooools.

If one is going to compare a fat woman with rolls, then it should be with a skinny woman straighter than a NEPA pole.

There are many big women like Toolz with curves in the right places and zero belly. Those are the ones anyone with a brain in their head would compare with a slim girl in shape.

Then you have a real battle.

Let men do the talking when it comes to the real deal.

My guy Saga, don't be fooled by what you see under tight dresses. Most big girls that don't have big bellies put a lot of work into it and you can normally tell because their arms and thighs are usually toned. If you see fat arms and fat thighs and a flat belly, rest assured there's some underwear magic going on up in there

stagger:

A bottle of coke will probably make nonsense of all this.

Exactly!

For those concerned about calories and their weight, a change in your diet is the key!
