Government Should Start Imposing Taxes On Churches. by Nobody: 1:19pm On Oct 30, 2016
Don't you think government should start imposing taxes on churches? Since the primary aim of Nigerian churches is to make profit. The higher the number of members, the higher the tax (progressive taxation).

When all the churches located in virtually every corners of streets in Nigeria pay taxes, it will increase government revenue and boost the economy.

What of the mosque and the shrines??
Are some Muslims and traditionalist not after the money?
Why single out Christians if you are not a tribal bigot?

You just want Government to keep eating, while you keep starving.

If Government decides to heed to what you typed here, do you think 1Kobo will reach? Have a rethink!

All religious institutions should be tasked. The robbery is too much. How do you guys think your pastors can buy jets and mansions. Is it not from the church and businesses he opened with church money? Nigerians fight against the injustice.
