hehehehe.......Human rights activist, Femi Falana has lampooned Nigerian churches using tithes for private commercial purposes.

 

While speaking with correspondents, popular Lagos-based Human Rights activist, Femi Falana (SAN), has commented on Nigerian Government's removal of Jim Obazee from the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) board over implementation of regulatory policy of churches. 

 

The Constitutional lawyer also criticized churches for registering with the Corporate Affairs Commission as NGO's while they continued to use proceeds in offerings and tithes of members for Pastor's Private Jets and setting up of expensive schools.

 

"Under the law, no religious body in Nigeria can operate on its own without check. Unfortunately, the Corporate Affairs Commission has been sleeping.

"For instance, there's no law that allows you to take money from the church, invest in business and privatise it. No, that is against Part C of the CAC.

"It is only in Nigeria where you can take money from the church, money contributed by poor congregation members, you go and set up a university that the members can not attend...can not send their children to. It is against the law of God. it is against our constitution", Falana said.
