Pastors shouldn't be earning much from the church.... neither should the GO's. But if the GO's are paid a whole lot then the pastors should also be paid fat salaries. They should protest....business is business. |

Of course the pastors don't remit everything to Head Office. They steal something for themselves first. 1 Like |

All these guys sha, i dnt blame dem. it is marketing strategy, everyone would want to read the article You have a choice either to be a pastor and earn 40000 or to be a part time pastor and keep carrying your CV about. if you know what Full time pastors are enjoying during christmas, easter and new year dey get bags of rice, cartons of drinks, hampers, money. During send-forth to another branch or province dey get differnt kinds of gifts e.g washng machine, gas cookers, fridge, money some get cars. My daddy is a part time pastor at RCCG, at least 5 of the gadget we have at home was given by the church, talkess of various gifts during festive seasons and help we get from people in high places that attend our parish My provincial pastor who is a full time drives a 2016 Toyota Highlander, got 2 cars from his former church. So please watch wat you say and dnt sin because some newspaper wants attention to get traffic. Remember you cannot earn the same income as the members of the board of directors. You cant compare Mr Tony Elumelu to a cashier at UBA branch in Abk. 2 Likes |

The responses on this thread are disheartening. This is why I'm so scared of becoming a "deeper" Christain. I might just be as stupid as most of you on this thread. A lot of you are saying that they are more blessed than most of us, and some are corroborating that idea with the notion that a pastors reward is in heaven. John Calvin would look on this generation with shame. Martin Luther would wept endlessly for this generation. How can you tell a man that he's reward is in heaven? And that he should he should argument his salary with favours from parish members. Why can't the church argument that salary themselves? What stardard of life can a man live with 40k? Tell me people. The evils of the corporate world have crept into the house of God. No wonder the the clergy can not talk about the level of rot in country. They are busy building being slave masters to other men. As for me, my reward may be in heaven, but that is inconsequential. I must collect my reward in earth in full. And it certainly is not going to come with 50k per month. little wonder everyone want to establish his own ministry. Please try and the veil from your eyes How can the church be intentionally paying industry wages Thanks to punch for this expose The is just too sad. 2 Likes |

Alright, I think the Punch just did pastors a favour. An upward review will happen soon cos there's really no sense in so much wealth gap amongst the children of God. Let the cake go round pls... Hallelujah! |

Of all the things our colonial masters did, enslaving the minds of our people and zombie-fying our populace was their most malevolent contribution to our society. Something is seriously broken in the value system of a cess-pit of a country, so religious and yet so corrupt and rotten to the core. 1 Like |

Only the GOs can fly private jets and live lives of luxuries. The others should wait till they die and get to heaven for there lies their rewards. Shikena!!! SMH... |

Obi1kenobi: Very correct. The comments are nauseating! These people are okay with a group of people being subsistent on "gifts". Most Nigerians dont understand that there is dignity in working hard and using the money you earn to cater for your family and not being reliant on gifts. I will be filled with shame if almost all I have is from people's gifts and not from my tangible hardwork. Why can't the church have an ethical salary structure? They wanna expand and have loads of workers but they aren't willing to pay. I'm sure people will comment differently if these churches were corporate companies instead. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Pastors ask for tithes in the name of God. They say “God needs your help building the church”. What does god need with a multi-million dollar church? Nothing. These are the same so-called church leaders that you'll find riding in fancy cars, eating the best foods, living in expensive homes and living the life of wealthy people while their followers scrape and struggle to do “God's will” by tithing. These so-called leaders will lead congregations in the worse of the worse neighborhoods and on their way to church to preach on Sundays or Saturdays or whatever day they declare to be the Sabbath, they will step over the homeless or the less fortunate. 1 Like |

Church these church that, are u guy not tired of criticizing church's for Gods sake. Altleast they are not encouraging their member to kill people or marry underage children. But the true is, the more u guys attack these churches the more they wax great. The church of God is moving on and the gate of hell( being political or religion) cannot stand against it. |

Nothing really concern me about the false church or churches and their false christains except that they should believe in Christ Jesus the Son of God and the saviour of the world that God may saved them, that they may become true christains otherwise they will perish in their hypocrisy and mockery and then perish eternally in everlasting destruction in the they of the Lord, as we have repeatedly told and warned them. As for what you said, know that the owners of those companies or businesses own all the things in their companies. These are satanic, wicked, mean, crooked and hypocritical religious business people |
