Churches, Mosques Now to Pay Tax - CONFAB Delegates

DELEGATES at the on- going National Conference  Tuesday voted that henceforth, Churches and Mosques will be paying tax to the federal government, just as they also agreed that Federal and state governments should no longer fund Christian and Muslim pilgrimages to the Holy  lands.

These were part of the resolutions reached yesterday during discussions of report of Religion Committee.
The decision to make religious bodies pay taxes came up when a delegate representing Civil Organisations, Mallam Naseer Kura during his contribution on the report had raised it that religious leaders were making much money and should be taxed.
Also in his contribution, a delegate representing the Nigeria Guild of Editors, Isaac Ighure however frowned at the situation where pastors and heads of churches make too much money with some of them owning private jets, just as he stressed that they should be made to pay taxes and the elite class must stop abusing the little ones in the society, “some people buy private jets when people in their churches are suffering and living in abject poverty, they should be made to pay taxes.”
  WHAT DO YOU THINK  should churches and Mosques pay taxes?

It's about time.since these ignoramus fools keep sowing a seed that only this so call men of God reaps, sowing some of those seeds should be a bare minimum.lets see how they feel when those taxes are then-as usual-abused as they've been doing to their members for decades.

GOOD  TALK  AS  FOR  ME  NOW  IS  BETTER  FOR  THEM  TO  PAY.  CAUSE  (MONKEY  NON  FEET  DEY  WORK  WHY  BAMBOO  THEY  CHOP)
THE  RICH  ARE  GETTING  RICHER  ALL  IN  THE  NAME  OF  GOD
TO  CALL  A  SPAID  A  SPAID  IS  THE  POOR  THAT  PAY  THIS  TAX  CAUSE  THEY  HAVE  KNOW  SAY.
PLS  IF  THIS  CAN  WORK  AT  LIST  WE  WILL  STILL  BE  RELIEF  A  LITTLE  UNDERMINING  IS  STILL  THE  POOR  THEY  WILL  EXTRACT
BUT  THAT  IS  THERE  LUCK  AS  FOR  ME  I  AM  NOW  WISE  I  WAS  ONCE  A  VICTIM  OF  THIS  SO  CALLED  CHURCHES.
I  AM  NOT  SAYING  I  AM  NOT  A  CHRISTIAN.
