Of course and they don't ask questions about how a single man can afford to give such huge amounts away without stealing or some other form of crime. Even Dangote can't give away N1 billion without putting his business in danger. He can only make such donations to fuel political campaigns to get $1 billion in return.

Who is this big fool?? Do you know that at one point Bill Gates shared his wealth in two and gave half to charity?? we're talking twenty something BILLION DOLLARS... so get yur shit right!

Nigerians are just known for greediness, selfishness, and other top nonsense you can blab about!


The EFCC are a bunch of canker-worms! Do you think if you pay tithe you can collect it again?? They're just ignoramus'!
I won't blame them, Nigeria is a failed state!

The fools planning on arresting ministers of God - Rev Fr, - should be prepared for the wrath of heaven...
Re: EFCC To Arrest Priests Over Atuche’s N45 Million Tithe by Josh316(m): 9:46pm On Oct 04, 2012
this is NO test case! test case was when a former manager of Sheraton gave N45million to Pastor Chris as his tithe and when he was arrested and confessed, EFCC approached Pastor Chris to return the cash and he BLUNTLY refused! Now the question is...

1. someone comes to a church and makes a donation of N35million over many months, or even in a single swoop and the pastor or priest says, thanks but we cant accept the money... does it sound plausible? The church doesnt know what these individuals do and mind you, the general belief at the time was that they were doing clean business, Atuche being a bank manager, many people, the church and whoever, believed they were LEGITIMATELY STINKING RICH until Sanusi exposed them... The EFCC should not in a bid to seem like they are doing too much work persecute (not prosecute) them for what they did not know. they could simply ask the church to refund the money and then give a warning to all bodies, (churches, mosques, NGOs, and the likes) that they should report any suspicious donations to them (thats if it doesnt violate the principle of freedom to receive donations freely given).

2. many of the people insulting people for their views here and running their ignorance, if they were the ones Atuche donated the said money to, will they swear by Amadioha and Sango that they wouldnt accept the money? I mean, the way some people run their mouths on NL, one would think Ignorance was taught as a course in our Secondary schools and Universities! People should learn to be RATIONAL & TOLERANT

Don't be stupiid in church you don't write your name on tithes. Tithes usually come with envelop and go into tithe box. Rev's don't know who and who pay their tithes, when it's time for tithes members who want to pay their tithe will move to the alter and pay tithes they don't hand it over to the priest hand to hand.
So u ar saying Atuche put 35 mllion naira in an envelop and dropped it into tithe box?.

Leave the bunch of fools at the EFCC,,, left the likes of Otedola, Mike Adenuga, Obasanjo, Diezani Alison Madueke and co to chase shadows... stupid move by a failed government!

Catholic is nt a new generation church and if dt tithe shld be paid,it will be in form of cheque nt cash bt mind u,the clergyman is nt at fault.rÉason being that the tithe won't go directly to his pocket bt it will be remitted into d church's account(headquarter) so if he owns the church and the money ws paid to him in form of cash/cheque,den he has a case to answer cos he shld av questioned the man where he got the money frm.
He is just doing his job and he didn't collect d tithe from d man for his own benefit****i may b wrong thou****

the way some people reason, its so questionable that my grandmother can come back alive. Are u saying 40 million can enter inside envelope? Haha? D people liking ur post are just same shallow thinkers as you. Even if its being paind into the account of the church, those in charge of the church should question the source of the money. Because, the person paying such huge amount will have to register or show proper I'd at the bank. So, no matter what, the church authority know. They know! Thieves in church! Jesus Wept Still!

YOU ARE VERY CORRECT.....

In-fact the Priest as at the time he paid the money is no longer in the parish.

Have you heard of something called "cheque". That's another means of payment instead of tithe. Besides, super rich men can afford a tithe of 45 million naira because that's only 10% of their income.

45 Million Naira "tithe" means the person made 450 Million Naira. Very ridiculous!

All of u who ar trying to paint the image of catholic church are myopics and illuminatics. Anti-Christ! Thank God u called it tithe. And we all know wat tithe mean. Agents of darkness, God will always vindicate his people through Jesus Christ. Remember, fight Catholic Church when they have nt offend anyone is fighting Jesus himself. Bcus, Christ personally instituted the church.

In this case bro no one is saying if any rev or pastor caught in money laundry they should not face the law. Here we are talking about tithe, the man gave tithe to the church how do the church know who pay the biggest tithe? Have you been to churches before and see how tithe is been paid?
pls keep dat silly opinion 2 uslf...hw can 35mill enter an envelop....but d article tokd about a money order 4rm d former manager...common sense wil tel u a bank money order must have all d details f d payee in dat order...pray whose name was d order wit?religions fools
