How Much Do You Think Nigeria's Religion Industry Is Worth? by jideflash(m): 4:15am On Sep 09, 2018 |
In 2011, a FORBES ranking of the 10 richest pastors in the world had five Nigerians. The richest on that list is Nigeria’s Pastor David Oyedepo with an estimated net worth of $150 million. Also worthy of note is that religious institutions contribute approximately 2.5% to the GDP, which is the same as the financial (banking) sector. Meaning religion bodies are worth over 10 billion dollars in Nigeria based on the GDP of 400bn dollars. Won't you rather be a Pastor? https://www.forbesafrica.com/focus/2017/06/14/time-tax-nigerias-churches/ |

Very wealthy is all i can say. But the wealth isn't evenly distributed. The majority of wealth circulating in churches is in specific denominations and locations. Also the heavy weights like rccg, winners and christ embassy are very wealthy in comparison to others because they receive remittances from worshippers in foreign countries - that's why the Nigerian economy never impacts them negatively. As they receive naira from here they receive dollar, cedi, pounds from other countries. |

if a country is this corrupt, where almost all nigerians has been compromised, you can only imagine the amount of fake/yahooboy pastors that we have, as church business is one of the most lucrative industry in nigeria, its tax free and recession-proof. |
