According to a story by Encomium magazine, Bishop David Oyedepo, Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Dr. Mike Adenuga are among the top 10 Nigerian billionaires who will pay hundreds of millions of naira annually as luxury tax due to the imposition of a whooping $4,000 luxury tax by Aviation Ministry on private jet owners and operators per departure.

Some of these super rich Nigerians make use of their jets 3/4 times in a week either within or outside Nigeria and for every trip, it's a cool $4, 000 tax. Continue...



From Encomium magazine

According to our sources, among the four jets owned by Bishop Oyedepo (Gulfstream V and G550, Bombardier and Gulfstream G430), he uses three regularly personally and for his missionary work. Thus, his luxury tax annually will be an average of N399 million. Alhaji Aliko Dangote who has three private jets in his hanger will also pay an average of N399 million per annum. Dr. Mike Adenuga, Jnr, whose Falcon 7x and Bombardier jet are used for personal and business purpose should pay an average of N266 million. Governor Rotimi Amaechi and his Akwa Ibom counterpart, Governor Godswill Akpabio would shell out an average of N166.4 million annually. Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor falls into the same category of N166.4 million naira payer. Meanwhile, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, Jide Omokorie and Ifeanyi Ubah would pay an average of N133 million annually, while Jimoh Ibrahim falls within the N100 million category. Furthermore, the richest woman in Nigeria, Folorunsho Alakija would spend N66 million on luxury tax.

Findings by Encomium Weekly revealed that the top 10 private jet owners who would cough millions annually on the new luxury tax are below.

The clash of the titans between the Federal Government and private jet owners reached a crescendo with the imposition of the $4,000 luxury tax on private jet owners and operators per departure. A memo was sent to all private jet operators stating that Nigerian registered private jets would henceforth pay $3,000 for every departure, while foreign registered private jets would pay $4,000.

So what is the essence of Christianity

So many pastors have left their line of calling and mission as a pastor and have started going after wordly and material things. What do you need FOUR JETS for. Even the G.O of R.C.C.G(one of the most populous church in the world) has only one.

Chukwuemeka007: A pastor paying almost the same luxury tax with the richest black man in the world. Intresting!

Pastor / business man

Its not about who's paying. It should be about why and what they're paying!

Taxation is a very useful tool for government to generate revenue! In developed countries, Taxes ranging from personal income, company income to property taxes constitute the major source of revenue!
In Nigeria, our tax system is undeveloped and with high incidence of evasion and corruption. If this post is true, then it is a step in the right direction and hopefully there will be growth in the tax system!
When people are made to pay taxes on luxury, it not only generates revenue for the government, it discourages other would-be luxury owners from buying luxuries and instead, they invest such money into other money generating ventures... Its a win-win for the government and for the economy!

Pls ff on twitter @Centdonald1

Oyedepo should be ashame of himself, Adenuga n Dangote are genuine business men, The supposed pastor is there milking his poor congregation dry. lazy man! u kids must be really proud of u
