I don't know why everything is going to Anambra.
We have seen nothing in Enugu and Ebonyi.

Didnt Ekewemadu share more than this in his senatorial constituency? Ask before you question.
Although more big men and millionaires still need to help.

Thank God

May God bless anybody who gives directly to the needy.

For those that decided to donate to the government, all I can say to you is,
thank you for supporting corruption.

As corrupt as The FG is, some people still went ahead and donated billions to
them just to have their names published in news papers; even when they know
that their donations would end up in the pockets of very few corruption ridden politicians.

All Anglican Churches are like that. If the dead person was a member and owed any levies, the relations of that person must pay such owed money. In addition, you must look for a project to execute in that church. Otherwise, no burial. My family experienced similar issues when we buried my grandma. I understand why you are gutted. Trust me, you can't pass through such experience without being disgusted at the church.

Serious?
The person in question owe nothing.
Just that the priest categorised him as among the rich and elite so time to go milking.

True but this will encourage other church to do more for there members.

If it is secret too, you will complain it is "audio". Moreover, the money belongs to the church and the people in charge most been seen as transparent, fair and accountable. Many of the church financiers and donors are not around to see this physically, hence, they must send them a feedback to encourage their heart and show them their money or items are not diverted, it was used for the intended purpose.

Nice move.

It is also possible that is what happened. Trust me, it is that way in Anglican Churches. I don't know about other denominations but for Anglican, it's that way. My grandma's burial was in a town in Ekiti state and the scenario was no different. Maybe with a lil less agression, u know say your people dey take money issues personal lol, but no less different. Sample opinions of other people, you will be told the same thing.

That's a good gesture,at least giving back to the society.The society has been giving to the church from time immemorial,it is the turn of the church to give back to the society.

Maybe God bless them the more.

God bless them but what happened to Matthew 6:3
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

Why children of God is acting contrary to this word now,
Why the self glory instead of glorify the father ?

They need put it online because of people like you and Daddy freeze that will come up to say what they know not....

You get.... let them put it up there...some other churches are encouraged and showed how to do this pallatives thing right rather than give those crooks in power

And after milking, those he milk again? Funeral have rites in all settings, church not exclusive. Thank God he is rich, they should willingfully and thankfully release. It's just one of those things...it has nothing to do with the church, it may be the priest in church or environment, many factors may be underlying. But no matter what they milk, it is just giving back, just a rite. It's understanding, after collecting, the priest will bless you. When you are all back, the custodian of your beloved departed becomes the repossibility of the church for life and in some circumstances, the same priest live a stone throw from the cementary while you live miles away. It's not too much, it's just a rite of a life time. It's bearable and if it is not, the priest will surely understand if you dialogue and it is really genuine that are are not rich.

You are wrong this is to encourage those greedy churches pastors to do the same to members or the needing General public

It's done with church funds.

This is for accountability purposes.

Oga shut it...Clear your names of any debt to the church.

You must always fulfill your obligation to the church that's why we are gift to these churches and arrow in their quiver.

she said the truth. the church should stop charging people for burial. salvation is not for sale

The five loaves and two fishes we now read in the bible, some "journalist" documented that's why we can now read the history .
Let God be the judge of that verse
We appreciate the efforts and move

And you have to pay to keep the church running. Solomon donated to the church and even Christ did more for the church.

Your own won't be different and moreover you are unnecessarily lying and exaggerating situation.

by force payment?

this things are done to motivate others my friend. Paul said to Timothy : encourage ur brethren so they d'nt full from faith.

showing this to the world will encourage not only pastors alike but will also encourage people to do good.

if nothing like this hit the internet, is people lime you that will still insult pastors saying de d'nt give to people.

Sighs. It's well.
The man was among the pillars of that church.
Nobody owe church anything.
Even me, I paid
Wetin concern me there?
I talk about this now anyhow but it wasn't funny.
Do you know, at a point, it was negotiation for some things?
This man was still giving envelope in the house. He opened it to check how much was inside. That one was thank u envelope. In fact,my eyes saw wonders. U got to see the selected drinks he went home with.

The church is against this I'm pretty sure but those in charge of the church do this not knowing they are tarnishing the image of the church.

Godliness05:


You need to balance the story that the dead is not a subcribed member of the church. The church provides burial ground for the dead and conduct the service for someone in most case who had been out of the town for years faithful in another church only to be returned and want to be accepted at death. Each church have their rules and of all churches in this country, This church is the most liberal and understanding. You don't wait till you die before doing your responsibility to the church, if you know the church will burry you, be active and participate in all their activities while alive even if you are a distant member, keep your commitment intact

Exactly.
I don't live in my state,but every Christmas period,I offset all these small small levies that will amount up to 10k or a lil more in my village parish.
Doesn't mean much to me,I'm happy to do that.

Actually most of them don't support the church so when it's time for burial of there parents and they need the church. All there levies will be tabled.

Likewise village meeting, development union and umunna those of them that dodge it. There matter is tabled when they want to do burial or marriage.

Christ will come again.

Kudos. This is worthy of emulation .
