PastorDavidAwuj:
I don’t think so mate. I think he is speaking from a purely spiritual perspective.

HedwigesMaduro:
You can gather friends together, raise funds to do whatever you feel like (as far as it's not criminal) etc and the govt will not give 2 fvcks about you. When you register your organisation from that gathering with govt on the other hand...

LucemFerre:
Sounding condescending doesn’t make you right.
I just humored your comment that was why I responded. Your comparison is stupid at best.

Giving another similar example that isn’t even similar in the context presented doesn’t make the act right. That’s false analogy

donnie:
That's not speculation, its called deductive reasoning. And by the way, you are COMPELLED, LIED TO and in fact THREATENED usingl scriptures quoted out of context, to part with those monthly sums you call tithes.

I sha agree that government should get it's act right first wrt taxpayers' monies before eying church funds.

Golan007:
This matter was settled in a democratic manner on the floor of the national assembly.

Too late to cry.

Golan007:
You mean because government is ineffective laws should no longer be made by the national assembly?

Golan007:
Conceited prick.

Seun:
How unfortunate. He comes across as the most serious government official in the fight against this virus.

Omooba77:
Yet we are self sufficient in food production and we can feed the whole of West Africa......
Lies have expiry dates........

donnie:
Why not? So the the bible must write it first?
Judas must have kept records and provided same when required, reason he was TREASURER.

Tell me, was MESSIAH's group registered under government? Did they have the freedom to operate like today's churches? Did MESSIAH receive money from millions of members like we see today?

We're not even talking about the young upcoming pastors everywhere whose goal in life is to have money like Pastors Oyedepo or Oyakhilome or Adeboye. Many don't even keep records, they wire the money directly into their bank accounts or put the tithes straight into their back pockets.

Joshforeal:
It sucks. Oya Knack Head for ground

donnie:
The same is obtainable in other more developed countries.

paxonel:
the pattern he is referring to is an autocratic system where pastors spend church money without the church members or the government questioning them. Is that suppose to be a pattern from God?

donnie:
Are the churches not organized corporately? Okay, let's assume that they aren't. They are rigistered as Charities right? Shouldn't there be some sort of supervision to ensure that funds being collected are used for the said charitable purposes?

Don't you think this will keep business men posing as priests or pastors away from "minstry"?

InvertedHammer:
/
Church: A PLACE they use the name of JESUS to raise MONEY.

Once you understand this basic business concept, your life will be better as you will never be disappointed again with the ramblings in the church.

The best pastplor is whoever is able to remit the most money. That's why they close unprofitable branches. Churches are no longer in the business of saving souls.

Xxxtacy:
Nigerians .. If your so called papa don't want this new development he should register his church as business not an NGO and start paying taxes , them dey help you ,you dey complain

robosky02:
I honestly think this government attacks people




Without addressing issues

divineappo:
mumu

LucemFerre:
You dey give Buhari offering?

Skyfornia:
How is eating sh!t a crime? Maybe that's his best delicacy...they should feed him more sh!ts or connect a pipe from septic tank into his throat. Mtchww..

By the way, anyone that believe there is juju is delusional...why can't they use JuJu to transform this country, eradicate Boko haram or remove jubril?

Jaqenhghar:
My question is where did it all go wrong for us? Ill speak for west Africa. When they came to west africa they didnt see sky scrapers and space shuttles. They saw huts
There was some amazing craftsmanship but that's it.
Someone argued that the societies that are experiencing a lot of growth and innovation are doing so because they have a culture of knowledge seeking and being innovative as proven by their hostory ...eg the Chinese and the Japanese. Our people ( West Africans) we had a culture of calling on the gods and ancestors to solve every problem. No wonder they fell easily and adopted the white man's christianity. We simply substituted the witch doctors for pastors. Thats why till today we are intellectually lazy and call God for everything.

RichBoy247:
But the white men are now paying our lazy youths millions of naira to go steal the same devilish African gods. What are the white men doing with the devilish African gods?

helinues:
If the churches are not ready to abide by the law of the land, they should be deregistered

GreatResearcher:
Going by your logic, All Nigerians are members of these con artists.
