EazyMoh:

Be sincere to yourself, of the contributed tithe what fraction goes into those humanitarian activities?
It's aid donations to IDPs where the majority is looted.

EHMIR:
Go and tell redeemers university,covenant,bowen universities to reduce their school n other fees to 25k.

Then u ve spoken sense...now..just gerrarahia

columbus007:
but you are already giving seun nah

EazyMoh:

You mean Zakat. Well Zakat is no way near tithe in similarity.
I know you but for the sake of others reading here's a summary.
For a Muslim to be qualified to pay zakat he must keep a minimum of N641,770 or its equivalent in other currency (called Nisab) for a complete one year. This condition alone excludes 80% of Nigerian Muslims.
Out of that he only pays 2.5%, and it's never given to any Imam, Alfa or whoever! It's strictly given out to the needy, orphans, and others.
Zakat is opposite Tithe, Zakat is from the rich to the poor, while tithe is from the poor to the rich!

MuttleyLaff:






Amigos, even if the church allow its members to keep their tithes and first fruits, towards the money be used more productively, nothing will change,
because the recession in the country is caused by years of reckless governance and wickedness perpetuated in high places

It will be more money for thieving fingers and grubby hands to grab, chop and clean mouth from
and the status quo, if not worsening, will remain the same, unless the evil and morally wrong practice of government officials, top party members, top army personnels etcetera enriching themselves at the country's citizens and voters expense is curbed.

The church can bail Nigeria out of recession, ONLY, if it begins reorienting the people for an indiscriminate and total realisation of 2 Chronicles 7:14

However, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, search for me, and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear [their prayer] from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their country
- 2 Chronicles 7:14

Well said

femi4:
What are you saying? I m not even referring to IDPs, the Church has done so much and still doing more.

I know you ll be blinded to graded roads, Prison visitation, motherless home visitation, missionaries etc

As If The Church Is Different From Nigerians.

Is There Any God-inspired Economic Principle being Used by Any Church That We Can Go Take A Look at?

Our Vice President is a Pastor of no small standing, so what?

Junior66:

and u tink 25k is enuf to power their generators and pay half of their staff?

Ecsusia:

Were you ever forced to attend the schools?
Or the money used to fund it stolen from your pocket?
You can answer sincerely to these questions or do what most barbarians do........insult me!
Anybody can just, in a typical show of cowardice raise up arms on nairaland.
If the members are not complaining, why you?
And if the members are....
Its their church and their money.
Again, none of your business.
By the way, you can show the 25k private university you built.
#eyes him spitefully.

Seun:
The church could allow its members to keep their tithes and first fruits so the money will be used more productively in the useful-stuff economy.

EHMIR:
