To say that Bashorun J K Randle is writer in a class of his own, is to reiterate the obvious. No sooner that we drop each of his article and our blog views jump in astronomic numbers.
An acknowledged classic writer, today, we bring you some of the responses to his article RADICAL UNCERTAINTIES, which we published on the 25th day of Octiober, 2018:

Our most Distinguished PP. President (Bashorun)
J K Randle (FCA),
I must thank you most sincerely for providing
us this article in the ICAN yahoo professional forum. I also wish to thank for
making your posts available in this platform.
I have read some portions your book is NOVEL or
SATIRE entitled “GOD FATHER NEVER SLEEP” . Please, SIR, if you
authored this book ( I am not in any way doubting but for emphasis), I need to
get a hard copy of this book for my library and keeps. In the event there are
other PCs that may need the same, you may wish to place your orders but
preserve until I get mine first and foremost). The reads of this book tells
better about Bashorum J.K. Randle and the point I am trying to make here.
Bashorum’s authorship and its posting in this
platform is a blessing to our generation and the distinguished professional
colleagues in this forum. At least for the purposes of HISTORY and proper
placing of the nation’s problems and challenges in context.
Eeer, let me try and see if I will be able to
my thoughts and impressions about Bashorum J.K. Randle in proper perspective.
Sir, you are created, born and have lived with MIDAS touch for everything you
set your thoughts and hands on prospered. In the Accountancy profession, you
conquered your world, rising through ranks to KPMG international in Nigeria.
Sir, you are also Chief Marketing Officer extra-ordinary – this trait
contributed to your headship of KPMG in Nigeria and I have personally met you
doing marketing rounds for JK Randle Professional Services in Abuja not too
long ago. So I know what I am saying. In the ICAN hierarchy, you soared as the
Oak you are to become the President of the Institute.
Above all of this, I have personally noticed
that you probably would have generated or attracted more fame to your person
had it been you opted for scholarship in literary writing world. You probably
would have a Professor of Literature in English of the likes and substance of
Soyinka and Achebe on one hand. But much more, you probably would have received
the noble price for literature before Professor Soyinka. I do not know what the
Nobel Prize Committee in Norway reads and how they gather data used in drawing
their conclusions for nominations and selection of the Awardees. Someone should
let the Noble Prize Committee to know this. For me, the little that I have read
from the book GOD FATHER NEVER SLEEP and this Article on the State of the
Nigerian Nation is more than eligible to earn you Noble Prize for Literature. I
salute you.
Turning to Nigeria’s Public Finances, Fiscal
Space and the Macroeconomic management, the points the IMF / World Bank raised
concerning Nigeria’s public finances are duly contained in about five
researched journal articles I published between July 2017 and July 2018. To reach
each of these five publications, just google CE Alozie in the google search
engine these papers will surface – they are must reads. In addition, I have
successfully defended a thesis entitled “Predicting financial distress on
government financial performance in Nigeria’s federal treasury. This thesis
will be made available to members in due course or in the ICAN library because
I obtained ICAN’s research grant subsidy for the study. Aside these, my
research on theme “Fund accounting (government funds) and government financial
reporting, rendered in two different research papers have confirmed (not
indicated) that accounting for public funds in sovereign entities (including
that of Nigeria) are in most cases wrong in principle and also accurate and
unreliable. Take for instance, capital development fund in the liability side
of the FGN’s Balance sheet is misplaced – particularly which
the representative Fixed capital assets were not represented any-where in
published annual financial statements. I have initiated the advocacy with the
IFAC and World Bank to develop and implement accounting standards on government
funds accountings system without which the much mouthed IPSASs implementation
may remain charade because many countries in the world publish illusionary
fiscal position and asymmetric financial statements. My dear PCs you can image
the magnitude of our societal challenges when we factor the fund accounting
aspect to the Bashorun’s article.
