Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo has said that churches that specialise in prosperity preaching through which they acquire stupendous wealth may be slammed with tax.

Akufo-Addo made the declaration as he delivered stinging criticisms about some churches which he accused of being everything but what a church should be.


The Ghanaian president, speaking at a synod of the Global Evangelical Church at the University of Ghana, remarked that the church is becoming “a pale shadow of what it used to be generations ago.”

I wonder why Dangote who pays thousands of enployees through his sweat will pay billions of tax and a man of God who own thousands of churches, schools and other business built with populace money with few staff will not pay tax but rake in billions monthly.

About time!

Glad people are now waking up to the fact that prosperity teaching is a false doctrine.

Good because it is more of a business centre.

Way to go but in Nigeria it will be difficult because of many factors both internally and externally because everything in this country that involves the elites, people like fkk will turn it to another thing online.

Hmm....

Very nice

Freeze will enjoy this news

Long overdue.

I can imagine how the tax will be paid

Either per prosperity sunday sermon or per head that drops money after the message

Churches in general not just those that preaches prosperity should be made to pay tax.

The poor will still be the ones to provide the tax. Changes nothing.

While churches in Nigeria think Islamization is a threat, they fail to realize that their fraudulent pastors are the bigger threat.

People have continued to see the light, and churches are continuously growing smaller.

Keep defending your fake pastors.

I know say this kind of topic no dey hard seun to push go fp, all of u attacking churches are headed for doomsday...una life still arrange well that's why fingers dey sweet Una to type

So that u can then embezzle the money

cool......

A president after my own heart

Na wa o

It is a senseless move and it would not work out. This is a malicious policy been introduced because one president thinks some churches aren't aligning to his own definition of what churches should be. Members are already taxed of thrir earnings hence should not be subject to double taxation whether prosperity preaching or not.


The USA has prosperity preaching ministeries and does not subject them to taxation. But it's African nations who can't account for what they have that want to demand accountability from the church. How laughable...

In preparation for this all pentecostal churches should open off shore account in Cayman Island, USA and Switzerland and encourage their members to route payments directly there.

And the war against Christianity continues in different guises

He should shut up ! he bloody well know he is not a christian. that is why he vomits that

House of God was not like this during Jesus Christ
