Reno Omokri Drops Bombshell: Pay TAXES Not TITHES He Says
Apr 8, 2024
Renowned critic and social commentator, Reno Omokri, has stirred a robust debate across Nigeria' s socio- political landscape with his recent statements advocating for a fundamental shift in financial priorities among Nigerians.
Omokri' s assertion, articulated through various platforms, suggests that for Nigeria to attain meaningful progress, its citizens must redirect their financial contributions from tithes paid to churches towards paying taxes to the government.
In his discourse, Omokri scrutinizes the prevalent practice of tithing in Nigerian churches, juxtaposing it with the nation' s tax culture.
He contends that while Nigerians readily part with their earnings in the form of tithes to religious institutions, they often exhibit reluctance in fulfilling their tax obligations to the government.
He said: " No matter how corrupt and inept you think the Nigerian government is, they are far more open and transparent about what they do with the little taxes you pay than any church in Nigeria. Do you see that guy who probed Emefiele? Jim Obazee"
" If President Tinubu should ask him to probe Nigerian mega- churches, some GOs would be in jail. Nigerian churches are some of the least regulated entities on planet earth, " Omokri said on his X page"
He added: " Okay, which church in Nigeria has given you, as a member, a breakdown of what they do with your tithes? Yet, you see their General Overseers and Senior Pastors living extravagant lives, even where there is extreme poverty in their congregations"
