Well, in  d context of boosting the economy, 'Yes' but on d contrary, our government are not doing enough with what is at their disposal. I think the govt. should do better with our natural resources then we can see how far there have gone b4 looking on churches and mosques to pay tax. I think its just another means to enrich their pockets.

@ inmex. WITH DUE RESPECT SIR. RE-READ THE TOPIC. I THINK THERE IS A DIFFERENT BETWEEN A PASTOR AND A CHUCRH...A PASTOR IS A MEMBER OF THE CHUCH JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER PERSON WHO CONSTITUTES A CHURCH. BEING A PASTOR DOES NOT IN ANY WAY DENIES ONE HIS OR HER CIVIC RESPONSIBILTIES. IN AS MUCH AS A PASTOR MOVES HIS CAR ON THE GOVT ROAD, ENJOYS ELECTICITY FROM GOVT, AND EVERY OTHER BENEFITS., AND IF HE PAYS HIS TITHES AND OFFERINGS TO GOD FOR SPIRITUAL BLESSING , HE SHUD ALSO PAY HIS TAX TO GOVT FOR HIS SOCIAL WELBEING. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW ,... FOR LAW IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSON .IF HE DOES NOT RESPECT THE LAW THE THAT GOVERNS THE SOCIETY IN WHICH HIS CHURCH PLANTED, HOW WILL HE ABLE TO IMPACT HIS FOLLOWERS REGARDING  COMPLETE OBIDIENCE. HE SHUD LEAD BY EXAMPLE.



as individual they should pay which i am sure they pay but as a church they are exempted from paying co operate taxes every where in the part of the world that i know. so why should nigerian case be different?. get my comment right.ok

if there is any big church around you just get closer to them and u will see that they are taking care of a lot of people. they dont have to come out be shouting that they aere doing this or that in the public. get closer to them first before you conclude.ok
