can you give me verses in the bible that state it clear that you must give tithe to church. I'm not a Christian but I have many as friends,and I see Christians as my brothers but this Nigerian economy particularly when people are suffering,a church would still be collecting tithe. Nigerian Christians are the poorest in the world upon all the tithe giving. anybody that says it works for him only feels so because its like a coincedence,many people give tithe and at that period ,things get worse for them but they don't talk but only those that say it works are those that have something that went great for them around the same tithe they were giving tithe,so its all mere coincidence,tithe doesn't bring any badluck or goodluck. Americans don't pay tithe and they have hundreds of billionaires and numerous millionaires that are atheists,non religious,agnostics and non payers of tithe,but Nigeria has the highest percentage of people living below 1%, 2% and 4% and Nigerians are known to be the most religious people in the world with over 85% going to church and way more than half of that percentage pays tithe but it doesn't stop them from being poorer with shorter life expectancy because they might be saying it's averting death for them but how come people die anyhow in Nigeria and there are so many poor people?

who is talking about imams reading bible? I read bible too because it has some of Prophet Issa's words and he's one of the most important prophets in Islam,so? about poverty being eradicated,even pastors do say that Muslims give more than Christians,there are pastors that do say Christians shouldn't give to beggars,most Christians i know dont give to beggars to have enough to give as tithe. that's why its a common belief that Christians are stingy. I'm referring to Nigerian Christians o,its only Nigerian Christians that have been brainwashed like this,white Christians are way different

why wouldn't you hear some Alhajis give tithe drunkard? when all you do is spend a great deal of your time in beer parlour and get fed with oral sewages by your peers. A Muslim giving Zakat is not give to one person but many people and its mostly food items,so how can everyone of those people use their zakat to drink beer when they know what's next to do with it? think before you talk next time. tithe is given to one already rich person but Zakat and Sadaka are given to many people and remove a lot of people from poverty

This news is just a hype.
The total worth of the Tank Farm is $330M.
How possible can this cut the Apapa congestion by 60%?.
It's not near being real...Sure they'll reduce the Traffic, many of the suppliers will prefer to buy from them, when you consider their location,you don't need to enter Lagos and Face traffic or having to que for days at the port.
But talking about the availability of the product and their Capacity,they can't serve 20% of the suppliers.
Their Proposed output is 600M litter monthly and Nigeria runs on over 40M litter daily...that's over 1.6B litter monthly.
It's a welcome Development,but The Lagos traffic will still be there.
