I agree. These churches aren't such anymore. They are now business entities turning over profits in billions. |

Our govts should take their corrupt eyes off the religious institutions as they are more or less charity organisations and not money making businesses as some choose to think. They should focus on taxing money/profit making businesses instead. |

carinmom:I hear you. But then again, from where comes the pay of the Imams and Alfas? |

Ghost01:The Imams particularly those in khamsu salawatu mosques are not paid by the mosques. They lead prayers for the sake of Allah. Most of the wealthy imams and alfas do not feed from the mosque offerings in most cases, but many of them have other businesses and some are civil servants. But pls don't get me wrong, what I'm saying is what i know is the situation in the north, i don't know for other places though. |

carinmom:Ok. I was going to say I know one or two full-time Alfas/Mallams/Imams who have no side-business. Thanks for the elucidation though. |

Yes! Not only to boost the economy. It will reduce the rate of church crime in Naija. Some mushroom churches will be closed down. The atrocities that come from these men of appetite will stop. At least, before you run to open your business with your partner, friend or your family members in the name of church, you will think twice. |

Big difference between the church and mosque. Me thinks it's the church that would end up paying the lions share. The imam at the mosque near me does not even get paid. I don't understand how churches get so rich, 1 Like |

There are some real churches that are not business centres. They are just like orphanages where people contribute for the welfare of those working and leaving there. if taxing stats, the number of real churches like this, falls and that is obviously dangerous to the spiritual health of the country. But if there are any businesses outside of real church activities (like universities etc), i believe they should be taxed. Most of the time, the ones that are involved in this church business issue end up being rich. the holy ones, find it hard to cope. If this taxing is added, these holy ones would just diffuse into the limelight. that is certainly not good. |
