Tithe was meant for the poor, the strangers, the widows and the orphans including the Levites.So there's nothing wrong if he eats from it.The only reason they claim they are not eating from it is because they will also be asked about the poor, the widows and the strangers and the orphans since the claim that they too are not eating from it.The question then is who exactly is eating the tithe?

If u’ve read the Bible closely, u wud have realized that the instructions on tithe is progressive. 1st instruction was for u to leave it outside ur fence for d less privileged. Then it become, take it to Shiloh and EAT IT by urself and later bring it to the temple and leave it for those who tend the altar. Tithe is 1/10th of income. I told u, I am not keen to talk religion. However, if u earn 200k, ur tithe for the mnth is 20k and perhaps plus offerings for the mnth, everytin u give maybe 30k. But if in the course of the month, u receive a blessing from Oyedepo’s ministration, say someone framed u at work and u almost got sacked until one word from the bishop broke the maze and the person was exposed! Ur gratitude offering to the man of God will exceed ur obligational tithe and offering for that month. Oyedepo gets personal offerings daily. He feeds from signs and wonders. Equally if u come to his church, u might use his businesses, like hotel and restaurants, u might buy bread from his bakery and drink water from his bottle water company or some Agro products from his farms. Those are his business, not church and wot u’l spend will certainly be many times over than wot u will give in church. He is richer than the church and the largest donor to the church. If a minister depends on tithe and offering, he cannot have the kind of money people envy Oyedepo for

Blakpot:
Whats so funny?
He earns his money in Nigeria, a portion of that money is channelled abroad to finance a company in the British Virgin Island. Companies established there pay little to no tax.
The portion sent to the company and its dividends is potential tax revenue that could have been earned by the Nigerian govt.

He might pay taxes in Nigeria, but him seeking the services of companies that specialize in manipulating corporate finance through offshore companies, shows his intent - tax evasion.

Thats funny. His companies’ profits are already taxed in Nigeria. So, he can send the money anywhere he likes. Besides how can anyone send money out of Nigeria without hitting FIRS tax firewall?

Says a caveman stuck in Nigeria. Lmao!
Biko, I am not the cause of your frustration.

Go and take ur Covid 19 INJECTIONS! Even wen America is using u as experimental guinea pig, u will still thank them for it and count urself lucky. Abi? Are they not the ones who lied to u, that Africans were once caveman? Then why did they loot the Alexandrian Library? Stole Benin artifacts? Mumu, American slave. Upon all ur loyalty to America, they still see u as nothing but BLACK MONKEY

Oyedepo's central message has always been tithe.The argument of most of us is tithe was meant for a category of people who no longer exist with the cutting down of the curtain demarcating the holy of holies in the synagogue, I'm talking about the Levite.But if you guys still insist the Levites still exists and Oyedepo is one,he should then live like they were instructed to live,they shouldn't be engaged in any form of business and should concentrate on nothing but church affairs

Oyedepo’s central message is not tithe, Oyedepo does not live on tithe. If any minister depend on tithe and offering, he cannot be really rich. I am not interested in discussing religion

Blakpot:
U want me to explain the concept of personal income tax, or how tax evasion works?

Question is simple enough. How can my pastor’s offshore company help him evade tax in Nigeria

bosman50:
I am sure you know what it means to own a share......A major share holder of a company.That means if he is not making money, he is definately running the company at loss. He should declare loss.

He must be the only entrepreneur running a company at a loss since 2007. He is lucky the system is absolutely corrupt

Oh! Wot do I know? I think to own a share means his is a LIMITED LIABILITY, listed on the BVI stock exchange. But no oneelse bought into the shares except him and family. So the business is not running.

TinubuGoQuench:
SHUT UP!!!

IF OYEDEPO WAS FROM THE EAST, YOU WOULD HAVE CALLED FOR HIS HEAD LIKE YOU DID IN PETER OBI'S CASE. YOU WOULD HAVE OPENED THAT YOUR FAT MOUTH TO SAY RUBBISH

Peter Obi is a political office holder under oath to declare all his holdings. Oyedepo is different. He has no such obligation

doncollino:
Many nigerians don't understand anything. When money goes outside your shore without adding value your Nara goes down. When you hear about Panama companies, most time they do nothing there. They just move billions outside Nigeria and devalue your naira. They should all be sent to jail if our leaders are reasonable.

Any money moved outside the country is taxed. Except thru govt. approved channels.

Blakpot:
It is fraud. Those companies only exist on paper, the sole purpose of their existence is to help its owners escape paying taxes from their earnings.

Specifically how can Zedok help Oyedepo escape tax in Nigeria?

bosman50:
'Your pastor' should be doing time in jail for tax invasion .
Google tax laws in Nigeria and see for yourself.


Individual - Taxes on personal income

Individuals resident in Nigeria are taxable on their worldwide income.

The principal basis of liability to tax under the PIT Act is residency. A person is considered resident if one is physically in Nigeria for at least 183 days (including leave and temporary absence) in any 12-month period or serves as a diplomat or diplomatic agent of Nigeria abroad.

I think u did not understand the pandora people very well. My pastor’s business was just a listing. It showed no activity, it showed no income. There is no income to declare in Zedok

fk001:
The pandora paper is investigative journalists that don't care where you are from or what type of influence you have.


And they do their work all over the world, including the mismanagement of oil money by the Arabian sheikhs.


So if you think they are some kind of which hunting team set up by Nigerian government to discredit your holy Peter obi, then you better have a rethink and smell the coffee

The Pandora people were only interested in BVI business under the guise that all such business are setup as tax evading schemes. They shud have excluded Nigerian businesses in dat, cos our tax laws and enforcements are not rigid enough to cos peeps to run to BVI

Shawnnn01:
So we can all agree it is OK for Tinubu mad his cousin to own company abroad now. Not that is when peter Obi n Oyedepo that your ruke applies but when they mention Tinubu you want him jailed.

Wen has OWNING BUSINESS, ever been a crime anywhere in this world? Fund source and business activity is the issue. BVI is a lucrative business hub for many reasons, not only tax. Many tax offense in America is not even an offense in Nigeria and how many tax offense in Nigeria is prosecuted? Is it not dumb for anyone to setup business abroad to evade Nigeria tax?

Wahalaperson:
nigerians and their stupid way of reasoning, and this one will think he's intelligent now

U dat is intelligent why not answer his query? Nigeria tax laws are the most lax! Its possible u are not even paying tax! Why will anyone want to evade Nigerian tax by running abroad? The review is only in one location of this world. Do know how many businesses is Oyedepo’s concern elsewhere in dis world?

RiceProducers:
Churches should not be patronizing tax havens. Always give to Caesar what is Caesar's. Most tax havens are mammon worshipping entities

He did not patronize the “tax haven” as a CHURCH, he did as a person. Mr Oyedepo! Besides church funds are not subject to tax in Nigeria. So, is the business out to evade tax or just a citing in an inviting BUSINESS LOCATION? Pls reply

Its no surprise. Its expected. Olesander Usyk was expecting it. I knew it was the card Anthony Joshua must play. One thing I desire now is that Joshua shud take the advice of Tyson Fury! Linkup with SUGAR HILL. He claims he knows wot to do to help AJ overcome Usyk. So don’t be proud, cos Usyk cud win again with his energetic relentless boxing tactics

Rather than answer a single question, this Mofo is busy talking out of point? Wot is the BIG DEAL ABOUT G7 MEMBERSHIP?? Wen Toni Blair suspended Mugabe from Commonwealth, he forgot that the commonwealth was just a useless idiotic social gathering with near zero influence in world politics until Mugabe remined him and demonstrated it to him. If Putin can walk out on the United Nations with no consequences, wots the big deal abt G7? Maybe its ur turn to be reminded.

janetakan:
You're one pained miserable clown though. Imagine hating and beefing the US and thinking Russia is a better country.

No wonder Buhari is your president.

CREEP!

If the Americans can lie about taking a man to the moon, u better don’t believe anything else they putting out! But mumu like u will not hear! Is it not the Americans who put Buharig as president over u? Just so that the contract money will never cease! Do u know how much BRAIN DEAD paid Trump to be there? But here u are thinking American is the best thing that has ever happened to u. Mumu like u

emmyileri:
RUSSIA has never contributed to anything meaningful to the world except destructions. All these shouting is just a means of trying to stay relevant. Russia can never match the power of US

Russia is world leader in Ophthalmology. The first to go to space, first to shoot rocket at the moon. They still have the greatest number of chess grandmasters, they are the largest country in the world, fought for the independence of India, started Santa Claus, produced the political system called communism, and helped to stop Napoleon in Europe.

Johnboom:
Thank you my intellectual brother. US is till far better than noisemaker in warfare. They don't need to proof anything but Russia has a lot to proof.

U folks are just overestimating the Americans for no reason. Some will tell u its their war budget na by budget? Others will tell u they are so rich na by so rich? Some will point to some wars America has fought in recent times only one or two I think they did not lose. Even after losing Afghanistan war, u people still say they did not lose! Someone actually told me its becos America is the only country with nuclear weapons! If they test weapons, cos they are always carrying out drills, u people will say oh they are so good, if it is Russia, u will say oh they are just show offs! U are all just noise makers. Let the Americans try themselves na if e sure for them. The fellow u quoted is a known liar who cud not defend those things he said wen he was called out. But since it appeals to ur sense of devotion to that useless America. U support him

NobleRace:
You're disillusioned.

God used Persia to punish Israel only once. The people sinned. They were warned that they would be carried away as captives. They remained unrepentant until the captivity happened. After God was done punishing them, He returned then back to Jerusalem.

As the Word of God is true, which has surely returned brought back the dispersed people of Israel to Palestine as promised, Israel can no longer be defeated. It is a solid Biblical Prophecy that cannot be faulted.

See dis one! Where in the Bible was it written they can nolonger be defeated?? They sinned and became slaves to the Egyptians 430 years! Wen they returned, they quickly sin again, and were made slaves of Nebuchadnezzar for 70 years. After they returned, they hurriedly sin again and became slaves of the Assyrians and den slaves of the Medo-Persians and then slaves of the Greeks for another 400 yrs and thereafter became slaves to the Romans and later slaves to the Germans. Today I can bet they are about to sin again and will subsequently become slaves to Iran

F**king zoo element. Typing from your cave in your village, man you don't know shit.

Russia has always created better and advanced military hardwares than the US despite the fact that their budget is lower.

The likes of China, United Kingdom, India and a bunch of other countries alongside the US all have higher annual military budget than the Russians, but you couldn't come here and spill trash about how they have more advanced military weapons.

Despite the fact that their military budget is nowhere that of US, they possess more nuclear weapons, ballistics missiles both short range and intercontinental, they own more cruise missiles and hypersonic missile. Infact none of the missiles in the arsenal of the US even comes close to the zircon missile which is Mach 9. The fastest they have in their arsenal is a little above Mach 4. They also possess more tanks, propelled artillery, self propelled artilleries, not to even mentioned armored vehicles.

With your stupid and idiotic logic, they should have all these more than Russia because they have more budget, but it clearly isn't the case here.

Talking about the Russian defence system, if it actually a failure which the CNN has brainwashed your empty brain to believe, why is turkey negotiating to buy more from the Russians despite the fact that the US first sanctioned them when they purchased the first batch?

They could even be kicked out of NATO, but it seems they believe the Russian S-400 is worth it. Move aside kid.

Talking about secret weapons, I know you would be stupid enough to Bring up such silly and unfactual, baseless assumptions to use to defend the US.

secret weapons that weren't tested? You must be very very dumb. It's like saying a man who has a race next year in which he could win £50million if he wins would then create a car and not test it just because he doesn't want anyone to know he has such car.
Theres a possibility that the car won't work or would develop some fault that he could've easily fixed if he had tested it before the day..

The US isn't stupid enough to create weapons without testing them, and also there's no way any country can test any high caliber weapon in secret without anyone knowing except the weapon isnt shit man.

Meanwhile, you keep talking about poverty in Russia as if you've even been to Russia before. If the Russians are actually suffering, then it is obvious another name should be coined to express the kind of suffering Nigerians are experiencing.

Russia is one of the largest exporters in the world.
Their external dept is nowhere that of the USA who keep borrowing from the world bank to deceive ignoramus like who think they're very rich.
The US has an external dept of more than £16 trillion today, compared to £500billion of Russia's and £40billion of Nigeria's. Yet they act like they're better.

I would really Considee whether to reply you or not if you reply me with any other trash, kid

Tuale. Baba n’la. I seriously enjoy ur break down! Very badt. Correct man.

palsenator:
I like objectivity... Why not ask me to elaborate before stating that my assertions are false? You think warfare is all about missiles?

Russia with nosie about warfare development....It's a complex problem..

The weapon in the arsenal of the united states' are the kinds the world has never seen yet they won't make noise.....

Wth all the noise , United States in Air is greater than Russia, China , North Korea combined... � Pls explain

SenatePresdo:
They can test their nuclear missiles without tipping it with a warhead.

That will just be missile test. So wen do u plan to test ur nuke?

shogsman:
No big deal,just western propaganda blowing things out of proportion, everyone knows Russia prepares for war 24%7 why are Ukrainians not panicking that Russia will use the missile on them

Russia does not need any of those new weapons for Ukraine. Ukraine know its not meant for them, cos wit ordinary stick and stones Russia will defeat Ukraine.

If America has weapons in their arsenal which no one knows of, it means such weapons haven’t been tested anywhere! And if u don’t test a weapon, How can u tell it will work in the day of need? Do u see how false ur statement is? Is it possible to test a weapon in secret in this age and time?

I will take PUTIN and XI JING serious the day both of them will walk into a G7 meeting uninvited

For sake of those who might start believing the American lies about letting the PEOPLE of Taiwan decide either to join China or remain autonomous. The PEOPLE of Taiwan are not a PEOPLE as defined by UN. The are just a political party wit their loyalists and others fleeing justice from the new government in Beijing. The place they currently occupy is not INDIGENOUS to them, nor is it their ancestral homeland. In recent times, the population of Taiwan has even grown more dubious, with migrants and others that cannot be categorized as Chinese Nationals. Taiwanese population is wot can be called a RE-ENGINEERED PEOPLE and there is only one way they will vote I.e for autonomy! That is why America is pushing for it. After failing to help the political party called KMT regain the control of China, after failing to convince the rest of the world to take the KMT as the real CHINA, they are now pushing to make Taiwan a separate country of its own.

WoundedLamb:
Sorry, I couldn't read everything. The absence of paragraphs makes me dizzy. I scanned through the text nevertheless and did not see any justification for not wanting the people of Taiwan to decide thier own fate. You're against this because you already know what the people want. The US is merely supporting that decision. If the people of Taiwan say they want to be part of China today, you think the US will hold them back?

And please, let's not just say things because we want to make points. If you know about the Taiwan Miracle, you'd know it is impractical to slightly suggest it was just a pre-existing loot from Mainland China. When was the Taiwan Miracle and when did they loot China? The timeframe and situation of the country before the economic boom is enough to dispute this claim. Thier economy is one of the most studied mid level economies in the world. There are, therefore, reports, exposés, research papers, etc. eaching studying the different factors that contributed to the economic boom. You can take a look at any. China was no where to be found when these guys were having hard times but today, they want to forcefully take over Asia's 10th largest economy. That's laughable.

The association of Taiwan with the western world only goes to show why they rejected the communist party in the first place; they're not willing to accept their level of authoritarianism. It does not prove anything asides this. It's only logical that they get along with the side that share their values. If Nigeria splits today, the North will associate more with the Middle East while the South will associate with the West. If China has achieved all you've mentioned while Taiwan has nothing, why are they still hell bent on taking over the region? This same CPC were once the resistance before the Civil war. If they had lost, they would have been the ones seeking independence. Now they believe they won, so it's thier right to take over the losers just like you said earlier. But like I said, the war is not over. The fact that the US is supporting Taiwan aside, this is an extension of the Chinese Civil War and it's still ongoing. If the people of Taiwan do not want to go back to China, thier choice must be respected.

Let me ask you, if a new government forcefully takes over Nigeria today and forces the Islamic rule on the nation, it's only natural that the SE will want to go thier way, right? Now if the US comes to the aid of SE at this point, would you also say they should mind thier business? Please, regardless of how you view this, the people should be given a choice. We can argue this forever buy there's no superior argument to freedom/choice. Even if the US has their motives, the Taiwanese should still have the final say.

I Sincerely don even know why am arguing with a western lapdog like u, that swallow everything told by the west hook line and sinker. In ur arrogance and the useless NB u keep NB-ing me, u can’t even see dat am using a phone to chat not laptop with no luxury of paragraphs? If Taiwanese people are the ones to decide, where does that leave the Chinese people? Am sure they have no say! The land upon which Taiwan sits, belong to China, so, I say let China have it. Whether CPC or KMT no matter, China is all that matters. The Americans are too small to breakup a country all for greed and theft sake. To conclude, I have nothing to learn from u about the matter. America owes China money they cannot even afford to repay. China is a lender to EU and several African countries. All from nothing, after been robbed and looted for years with the help of that useless KMT! Still u tell me abt Taiwan miracle? U very ignorant and the likes of u, is reason why wars will never cease on the earth. I pray u’l be around and well the day China takes Taiwan and the American to the cleaners. U and America can den do ur worst. Bye
