Yes they should be taxed. Both churches and mosque alike. Christ never paid tithe in his lifetime and never laid emphasis on it but pastors today make it the focal point of christainity; but christ paid his tax and even told his disciples who complained about paying tax " to give onto God God's and unto ceaser ceaser's" 8 Likes |

Are you sure you have a right motive about this "church-tax" system? or are you pained that Churches are exploding financially? If the latter is the basis for this discourse, then I am sooo sorry for you cos no amount of tax will drain the church pocket. You're simply providing an access road for more blessings! I dont blame you sha, pagan will always assume people survive on mere salary (lol) Get ready for more heart attack, bro. Your wisdom is too little, too macro to reduce a penny of God's divine blessing. 1 Like |

No they shouldn't, even if they will be taxed I think it should be restricted to pentecostal churches and not orthodox churches. We know what the orthodox churches have contributed to the development of this nation in terms of education,healthcare,welfare,community service and so on!!! However we ve a crop of new generation churches that preaches prosperity and not salvation giving rise to the get rich quick syndrome among our youths!! |

There is no Mosque anywhere in this world that's run like a business centre or whatever! I mean like taking money from a whole bunch of people? Yep definitely not, and don't even try to claim Sadakat/Zakat is anything like that since obviously most Non Muslims have no idea what they're talking about like the retard OP who claims Zakat is funding terrorism. 3 Likes |

Yes? Even NGOs and Beggars too?! Their contributor's income had already been taxed. So why clamored for multiple taxation again? How income earners choose to spend their disposable income is at the income earner's discretion. However Religious bodies are registered with the Government so Registration fee or a one-time tax during Registration could be employed to check their excesses. 1 Like |

dhammyg: Jesus didn't pay tax on His ministry. He paid as an individual. I believe church members who constitute the church are already paying their respective taxes in their workplace. You and I know OP's intention is to drain and suck the church dry. Empty dream/wish, though What I know about givers is that they always receive more. Tax the Churches, and see how blessed they'll become. Concurrently, more money for our elected looters; while the common man like OP remains stagnant. |

UrbanMystique: I TRUTH02 as a Nigerian Citizen, wish the Nigerian Government elected by me to Tax Religious Bodies in the Nation.I was going to make my comment but I think u have said It all .. Thank u..a family friend came back from uk and was talking about a mosque close to her house and an olds people home she said that the moaque uses sound proof glasses.. And knowing that fasting is going on..people usually come in to pray before break their fast.. The local goverment has warned that they don't want too much packing, noise and over crowding on the street cos people are living around especially the old people..and the moslems have no problem complying cos the same goes to churches.. Even africans will go worship there and like the mode of doing things.. But when u come back to africa they feel free to dumb all their craze here.. Open up religious institutions in residential and prohibited places causing noise pollution and traffic..lastma even come to ensure safe passage.. I wonder if there is urban planning and the use of the local govt.. Also the reknowned ghanaian herbalist kweku bonsam.. When he got to usa he said he could not work effectively. And attend to his clients because he has not uet gotten his work permit and his line of work was not yet inspected to see if it meets criteria.. Now that's what am talking about.. Law abiding.. We blacks have to stop li ving like we r in jungle and learn to do things orderly.. I agree with pagan9ja but where am not comfortable with is his tone.. We need to be transparent with our dealings and give fair judgments irrespective of our. Religious background.. Asides that am cool.. And also all churches.. Mosque .. Babalwao or what ever must be banned on local tv stations.. If u want to show such there r platforms or u can create your tv station.. The african masses vulnerable cos anything can just come up on tv.. Put a child to watch nta or other local channels and put a child to watch dstv..and u will see the IQ difference ! Africa is our father we r the sons.. Its our duty to protect our identity and heritage..we r too vulnerable 1 Like |
