Lauretta Onochie social media aide of President Muhammadu Buhari has criticised the presiding bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide David Oyedepo over his disapproval of the Company and Allied Matters Acts (CAMA) being applied in churches, Igbere TV reports.

Oyedepo had told his congregants on Sunday that the “church is God’s heritage on earth” and that it works “on the pattern delivered by God not the pattern of man.”

However, reacting to his statement on Monday, Mrs Onochie in a brief statement made available to IGBERE TV the popular cleric would have to create his own country where he can live by his own laws.

SIONKPO1:

who says churches don't pay tax
(Annual returns)?
You are too ignorant,

WhisperedNoise:

You're suffering from one of two things:
Either you are ignorant OR
You just choose to talk without concrete facts and evidence.

From time immemorial, B. Oyedepo has been one of the people speaking against the insecurity and killings going on in this country. Do your research and stop displaying half baked knowledge on a public forum.

Kind regards.

Faithful4real:

Please keep quiet if you don't know anything. Churches do pay tax. Even the church i attend do pay tax

Faithful4real:


Churches do pay tax .

Ps: i contacted one of church worker he said church don't pay taxes only the workers.

Parisian:
Most people don't even know that churches pay tax, smh.

oglalasioux:


CAMA!

You didn't study Companies and Allied Matters Decree in the University? I did. Buhari's government made some amendments to it. Please study the amendment that your Daddy G.O is against. Don't be a lazy youth.

thesmallgod:
Even if the Church start paying tax, the money will be looted so what's the essence

imhotep:

How APC and sai baba?

Cc lzaa

ERockson:
This woman is carrying curses

NGpatriot:




This should have been done a long time ago, churches in Nigeria are mostly money making and get rich quick scheme, they often use their churches and properties owned by their churches to invest in and promote private enterprise without giving the Nigerian state and citizens 1 kobo because they hide under churches and the tax exempt status offered by the Nigerian government.

I don't know why this arrogant and over pampered pastor and zealot think he's above the Law and can not be subject to the will of the people of Nigeria beats me, shows that these fake religious clowns are some of the most crooked and lawless people in Nigeria.

Even in America where we copied democracy from, they have laws and acts, including 501(c)(3) that religious institutions must subject themselves to.

Gosh, I can not stand this idiot.

dario078:


I wonder how people don't know that the man has always spoken out against the killings in Southern Kaduna.

I made mention of this on Twitter and they asked for proof. Too bad I couldn't get some of the videos in which he criticized El-rufai and the federal government for not doing enough to stop the killings.

Tomide007:

Lol. That's why I was bothered when early Christians fled during persecution, shouldn't they have obeyed that scripture and converted to Judaism?

Carrying a bible, or taking part in any Christian related activity is illegal in Somalia, I think Christians there should obey that scripture and covert to Islam, that way they can obey the law of the land. How smart do you sound now.....No scripture stands on its own.....the argument here is not about tax.

Ikeast:
Oga Oyedepo upon all the christians killed in Southern Kaduna,
U didn't condenm it..

U are interested in reopening church Coz tithe and offering issagoal........

zangaozanga:
this oyedepo of a man is a very arrogant mofo that thinks he can behave any way he likes

Oracleforce:
This woman Lauretta is irrational in all her comments...so, a cleric doesn't have any right again to disagree with your APC sardonic policy....she is as irrelevant as she looks...

Why all the target against the church...mosque is or their target....Nah church alone....una go soon meet una waterloo

laiperi:
As much I do support the freedom of religion, they must operate within the law of the country.

Nigeria is not China or Russia but these religious felons have brought shame and exploitation to their countries. Even worse than foreign religions they copy and model themselves after.

What values have they brought other than money into their foreign accounts and private planes idling at the airports?

If this man is arrested for disobeying government directives, his followers will start shouting "persecution, persecution" as if Jesus Himself was not spat on and insulted.
There are rules governing a state. That is why I love Papa Adeboye, he obeys rules and minds his business... Na money dy shack dis man, not anointing.
If Zakzakky can be arrested under PMB's rule, Oyedepo should get ready if he continues like this.✌

RTSC:

Oyedepo has actuallly been very critical about insecurity in Nigeria.

oglalasioux:


I touched a nerve, right? Churches are businesses. You can't be making millions from gullible people every Sunday and not part with some of the loot to the government. Live with it.
