successmatters: It amazes me how many of you call God and yet you hardly even know your Bible. Was it not the same God that said you should obey those in Authority (The royals and government)? What was the reason Jesus scattered things of those that were selling in the church, but yet these things Jesus condemned is what most churches have repackaged selling holy water, holy sticker, books, anointing oil... Etc. They are definitely making money from those things so I see no reason why they should not pay tax or rather obey those in authority. It's quite unfortunate that when the laws guiding Non profit organizations were established in Nigeria, those who put the laws of exemption to payment of tax never foresaw how gullible the church business will become because they had real genuine reasons for exemption of tax but now, many pastors have taken advantage of that to fill up their own pockets and some are even boasting about it. Some also use it to launder money for government officials. Many shall come in My name but I know them not... This statement Jesus made was not a mistake but the truth is that he didn't mention that most of them would come from Africa especially Nigeria. 5 Likes |

The problem is not about freezing the accounts. It how they go about it.You just don't go through a company bank account and because it has 100million naira turnover, you freeze the account. Put a call to FIRS and ask if they for once asked any question about the funds. Now lets talk about the church own. Have they asked questions to determine if the funds in the account was as a result of commercial activities carried out or donations. Like i said, the FIRS of today is all about gra gra and wrong interpretation of law, the same way it was done during the LIRS days. 1 Like |

seunmsg: So why did they specifically target assemblies of God church ? Are other denominations not qualified to be taxed? How about the mosques and traditional religions? Doesn't selective implementation of the law qualify as mischief? 1 Like |

successmatters: Y'all get emotional over nothing... How does asking simple yet pertinent questions equal glorifying Satan?... If Christ were present today, I doubt he would have taken offense as you seem to have. In your haste to be unnecessarily defensive, you dabbled into fallacy (maybe ignorance)... A lot of churches in Nigeria, and across the globe, are tenants in the structures they use for worship... Some that own them equally lease them out for good fees, some have schools that generate very good income and profits... I know one or 2 involved in hospitality and other profit yielding ventures... Please, do some research on this subject... I have absolutely nothing against the church. I'm just practical and realistic. Thank you. 1 Like |

OpenYourEyes1: I’m well aware that RCCG and Living faith pay taxes on all their commercial activities. FIRS is not specifically targeting Assemblies of God. They are targeting tax defaulters and Assemblies of God happens to be a defaulter. 2 Likes |
