Some of these super rich Nigerians make use of their jets 3/4 times in a week either within or outside Nigeria and for every trip, it's a cool $4, 000 tax. Continue...
From Encomium magazine
According to our sources, among the four jets owned by Bishop Oyedepo (Gulfstream V and G550, Bombardier and Gulfstream G430), he uses three regularly personally and for his missionary work. Thus, his luxury tax annually will be an average of N399 million. Alhaji Aliko Dangote who has three private jets in his hanger will also pay an average of N399 million per annum. Dr. Mike Adenuga, Jnr, whose Falcon 7x and Bombardier jet are used for personal and business purpose should pay an average of N266 million. Governor Rotimi Amaechi and his Akwa Ibom counterpart, Governor Godswill Akpabio would shell out an average of N166.4 million annually. Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor falls into the same category of N166.4 million naira payer. Meanwhile, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, Jide Omokorie and Ifeanyi Ubah would pay an average of N133 million annually, while Jimoh Ibrahim falls within the N100 million category. Furthermore, the richest woman in Nigeria, Folorunsho Alakija would spend N66 million on luxury tax.
Findings by Encomium Weekly revealed that the top 10 private jet owners who would cough millions annually on the new luxury tax are below.The clash of the titans between the Federal Government and private jet owners reached a crescendo with the imposition of the $4,000 luxury tax on private jet owners and operators per departure. A memo was sent to all private jet operators stating that Nigerian registered private jets would henceforth pay $3,000 for every departure, while foreign registered private jets would pay $4,000.

Oya oo, Church members, una target don increase, cos u ve to fund this tax oo.
Its about time.
For so long,tax evasion has been treated with kid's gloves in Nigeria especially when it has to do with these wealthy lot.
Hopefully,with this new development,the government can keep to its own part of the Social Contract by improving the Aviation Sector with monies raisedm taxes.
On a second thought,why is the Aviation Ministry coming up with this now? Is this some sort of panacea for the many ills that have befallen the sector? Isn't this a ploy to make the masses believe that they are working round the clock to better things?
Finally,for the love of whatever we hold dear,what's a seating governor doing with a private jet when there are people ravaged by hunger and disease in his state? When there are death trap roads,poor electricity supply,failing health and educational system,etc.
I don't even want to mention the "men of God" with 3PJs before some people have my jugular for dinner.
Irrespective of what the motive of the authorities might be,this is a step in the right direction...things you won't dare with good old Uncle Sam.
Wat d heck is oyedepo doing with 4 jets? Hmm make I no talk make dem say I dey critise, but I dnt tink its k o, some of I'm members dey drink gari, our lord jesus is d perfect role model, no one is sayin he shuld live like a pauper but 4 jets is super extravagance

To dem its like buy feed for chicken. There is money in d ministry. Thinking of moving mine to d permanent site soooon.
Bbmcrazyface
Hmmm!So speechless.
this is nonsense why should we the rich be taxed like that.. Funny Govt
Its not typical when illiterates say what they don't know about tax evasions. Individuals should be taxed as much as they earn that's the era develop countires grow their economy.
My thought exactly! How would a man of God have 4 private jets- 3 for pleasure and the other one for missionary work? While some of his church members are suffering in abject poverty? Fine! We heard his also a business man, but what is a man of God doing with so much money like that? He happens to be the wealthiest Nigerian pastor! Why can't he emulate the life of Jesus christ? Everybody knows how charitable TB Joshua is! Oyadepo though! Seriously, I so don't like Living Faith! They are so wordly and all about prosperity! That why I have alotta respect for the Senior Pastor of Dumanis ABJ! God will judge all these men of God one day!
It is a good development, but she should not forget to tax herself when her 400m naira bulletproof car arrives.
Dis stupid politicians in govt jst want to milk d rich men.am sure d so cald tax wil b looted jst lik d fuel subsidy money.I tire 4dis stupid leaders

The tax is a bit too much in my own opinion but they can all afford it easily.
I like dis neew rule but can I be appointed as d community leader of collecting dis tax pls na president Jonathan
Wafi babe
Mheen.There is fucking money in this fucked country..
Nigerians are sick,if Government did not tax them,you guys will complain,if they do some of you will shout,i read someone saying it will not stop corruption,it will because apart from 2 governors owing the private jets others are business men and clergies..so please we need more increase in the tax...
They shld tax them more
But is this wise spending? When you can actually afford a first class ticket αηδ enjoy d luxury it entails...Who am i to complain..they say luxury get class.
Are you sure they will pay this taxes? The minister is just deceiving us. They are not collecting any thing from them, if they would do some of them would sell off their jets.
So this is how they plan to gather ASUU's money? Okay
This so called pastor no dey fear God o. How can only u possess 4 private jets? Do u intend to fly to heaven with them all? *smh*

Paying tax shouldn't be an ish... it goes to d govt purse, whc in turn is use to pay govt workers, so if u can't afford d tax den free ur jet!! Let's not raise eyebrow on dis!!!! #isnothing....
Why do u all criticise these rich men.anyway,u need know that all these jets are not enough. Mine is on the way. I am a rich man in embryo
Oyedepo Oyedepo!! I see u ryt dere!! I'm a christian, buh I strongly bliv in taxes,whether church or not .. Even Jesus paid tax "Give to ceasar what is ceasars "..... 4jets owned by one person, definitely "luxury" ....issorait
this is nonsense why should we the rich be taxed like this , why evils.. Funny Govt

If u lIke abuse me.I will say my mind.Jesus Christ did not ve a jet but donkey why should a pastor owned jet n some in his church cannot afford a daily meal.Lord be mercy
Hmmm that's Good. But the tax money s going to go to a "few" pocket.
That's a hug sum Ø̶̷̩̥̊͡Ƒ̶̷̩̥̊͡ money mehn!!!..*all fucking going bk 'τ̲̅ȍ.dd stupid,incompetent Govt...I hate dis country..Shit!!!...fullof corruption,greed,embezzlement,bribe,e.t.c..just take Ūя̲̅ time one day 'τ̲̅ȍ go visit pple living under bridge,those begging.

Big man, big wahala ...lol
It shows that serving GOD truly is profitable
I'm part of the few who support private jet for G.O.s, but for Oyedepo to have 4, that's over d limit, I don't C reason for a 3rd n 4th jet, I agree with just one, though the 2nd can be argued for, honestly imagine how much tax he has to pay for keeping 4 jets, parking those jets @ d airport alone is a lot of money. Its like the ministry has got so much money they forget the priorities of churching. God help us all, shikena
I wonder who is collecting all dis tax?
I'll Join this list in less than 2 yrs in the mighty name of Jesus!
Lol @ Rick Ross and 6 packs
This will only make sense if the taxes are utilized to the advantage of the nigerian citizen. However, if it is to benefit the few greedy government officials then, there's' no point.
Injustice? Nigga I don't get yo point.
No problem as long as they don't cut corners. They should be able to pay ; no sweat. Luxury actually comes with costs. No problem if the money is not misappropriated.
Its none of your damn business!
4k USD is like piss in the ocean for these Multi Billionaires... That taxed money better be put to good use
Same question I asked myself. Well, let God be the judge. Time would tell.
Ifeanyi Ubah go fit pay so? E go 419 dem for dis one, abeg. E reputation get as e be. Well, unless I'm become Anambra governor.
Choi!!! and I they find only 500k to start small business. Well, God dey, We go get there.
Instead of the ministry of aviation to focus on oda pressing matters in d aviation industry they re looking to extort money from those who have worked hard to get to where they are. What do they want to do with d money? They can collect such huge amount of money yet that stupid minister will run her mouth about a plane crash saying its an act of God.
taxin d rich publicans heavily 2 help d poor, that ws wht Obama prmise b4 winnin hs 1st tenure, bt 4 9ja who knws
Anon 9:08pm, it's not about taxing the wealthy overtly. It is about the tax affecting the wealthy because they are the most likely to buy luxuries (wikipedia), e.g, jets.
Very ignorant statement. E go soon concern u when Dangote add money 4 his sugar,cement or Adenuga go charge u more to recharge with Glo or even Oyedepo/Oritjeafor/Adeboye if dem begin to charge 4 "delivery" sessions lol. And d Politiciand among dem if dem begin to steal even more. Truth is dat its still u and I dat will be left to pick d pieces. The rich no send believe it or not.
d jets are used 4 d ministry not d pastor... Only one of the jets can travel far... While odas operate locally... And one of dem hv packed off
Ok...atleast we don dey generate small small moni for asuu...rubbish country,after nw we no go hear as dey take spend am
Ogbeni, the matter taya me even jesus get only one small donkey nai pastor the get four jet
Its not a problem if they are been taxed , my concern is where is all this large sum of money going to? What will it be used for? If this money can be used to fix d airports n make d aviation industry safe n of good standard , then I will be glad.... Nigeria!!!!
Juju money dey inside too
Pple shld learn nt 2 talk abt men of God,life is spiritual let ur eye be open,gudnit linda I want 2 sleep
Eish! Poverty is a sin, any of his church members who can't afford 3 square meals shud go n re-evaluate their lives..come to winners chapel Dline on sundays n c wealth flowing. Shame go catch u sef if u trek com church.

Rubbish! The money won't still be used for anything good in the country.
This tax should be imposed on those Nigerians who have many luxurious cars @ home without someone to even warm them from time to time
Dear Mich,u really sound smart n mature.keep it up!
I don't know who you are but I owe you 3 bottles of whatever you like. You just saved me from long typing cos u spoke my mind verbatim.
Are u guys dumb, its right dere he is using them for missionary work, am not a member of his church neither am i a pastor bt it is rather sad when people who a first class sinners themselves throw missiles at pastors, leave them for God to judge, so that u dont receive curse from God
This isn't new, it's done in most developed countries around the world. The rich should pay more tax cos they can afford it, but what is a Pastor doing with 4 Private Jets. Then he would still climb the Pulpit and preach about Ostentatious lifestyle. The only message he passes across is that men of God have also been swayed by the love of money. The cost of maintaining 1 annually will feed many families not to mention 4. Nigerians, open your eyes and call a spade what it should be! Gosh
They should pay more but na poor man go still inderctly pay for dis tax bill. Amen!
so where is this amount of tax generated???
In some greedy politician pocket
God will help us, pastors now count their achievement by d no. of jets they fly now nt the no. of souls won. We shld be spirit filled nt fill with flesh
P Square nkor??
Nneka d pretty Serpent,Shut up ur dirty smelling sticky mouth,must u call the Catholic Pope here...Ewu
I second that...
Good policy, good law
chai. Target don increase for church Marketers. A na-egbu achara, achara a na-eto.
What's injustice about this? Afterall the burden will still be on the poor.. Indirectly the poor and dedicated church tithers and the ever faithful consumers.
Preach salvation and holiness.the love of money is the root of all evil.
ђã† about P-square? ℓ̊ thought they have private jet too. Please someone should make ♏ε̲̣̣̣̥ understand.
I think we Christians deserve the best things in the world, not this politicians and thief's.
Nigerians please and please, learn: Wikipedia is not a recognised source for reference. It is sheer ignorance to do so.
Dis is just pure wickedness.... Thunder strike d fg for dis impositions.. Of all people why dangote after doing good to us...
I jst respect the pastor of Deeper life, I'm not surprised his name is not among.. Very humble man! And its not as if he doesn't travel the way these other pastors do! Evrybdy sha wants to have their own private jets!
Well simply put, we "Nigerians" would pay the luxury tax for this people. The clergy men would pay this of the church, Dangote would simply add N1 to all the prices of clement, sugar, etc. Adenuga, could add 10kobo extra to your phone call bills. So whats new!!!!!!! Nigerians would suffer it. Moral of the story.... you can't hurt the rich.
how are we sure d money will be paid, even governors, their case will be like robbing peter to pay Paul that is even if they will pay.
Vanity. Upon vanity all is vanity! Let's see were all dis luxuries would take dem to. Smh!
Shut d fuck up! Robbing which poor? U brain is congealed! He has businesses for crying out loud! Hw much is the tithe and offerings? Y dint u say adenuga is robbing pple of dere money? Oyedepo is the chancellor of more than 1 uni. I dnt know wt he's doing wt 4 private jets too. But it's his money so y shld I bother. Do you know hw many pple he pays sch fees for in winners chapel. My dear, even d Bible said even a fool is thought wise when he shuts up, so shut up!
Honey you prosper when u do the will of God. Dunamis preaches prosperity too, so I think u should find another Church that approves of poverty
Imbe! Their money doesn't come frm the Church, dey hav businesses ok. God gives wisdom on how to make wealth, as fr wisdom, u'r foolish
Y do u have a blackberry when ppl in ur village cnt afford 2 eat 3 times a day?
Taxes go way back and it's what the advanced economy use to develop their countries. It's not about invoking huge taxes on the big wigs, it's how the revenue generated would be utilised. This action can also lead to a boomerang effect because these rich guys own a lot of the big companies and by the time the increase the price of virtually everything, the common masses will bear the full brunt.
All of u dat are talkin trash abt d pastors..wat are u even sayin?if God blesses u,can't u shine?as a child of God,u are expected to b movin from glory to glory..from okada to 504 to camry to jeep to jet..if u choose to store up all ur blessings,are u not daft?if na so,dey trek na..den u go tel us y u cun dey serve God..
nawal oh single jet is ok @ least a pastor for work of god having 4 is vanity even when jesus was alive preaching good tidings he was using leg
Smart connection! Now, "MI knows his height can't exempt him from long jump"
if one person can have 4 private jets and he is not among 5 richest men in Africa dont you think the rating is just a flop???and about the tax it's their business not ours....still thinking of it 4 PRIVATE JETS!!i dont know but am sure bill gate doesn't have up to 4 jet
and what do our govt officials do with these tax money?!! NOTHING!!!! they simply spend it on themselves and family rather than on d good of d nation. so y does it concern us what they pay as tax when even our education system cannot b catered for. F**K them all!!!
I'm pretty sure federal govt will pay for those called fake satanic men of God, in order to win CAN for 2015 election. And let CAN president tell us if he is sincere with himself and the fake gospel he preach, who bought him private jet? Jesus said go out and win souls for the kingdom of God is @ hand bt for today pastors simply go out and gather wealth and bring it to the church for the kingdom of God is @hand.
#in rihanna voice bwaaaaaahaaa!!!!!!!! okay when u have money govt helps u to spend it in the name of tax.
choi!!!!!!!!!!! this is a welcome developement!!!!!! e de sweet my belle like mad!! after this one, make dem come de collect 5% vat on all offerings and tithe to build social amenities....
Church members r only enriching religious leaders n religious leaders r only preaching prosperity n healn.If am 2 chose any religious grp I 'll chose JEHOVAH's WITNESSES!
See ur cocoanut head....wicked ass
I think it is time we move from our poverty mentality and accept the fact that not everybody is meant to be poor and for the haters of Bishop Oyedepo;it sounds quite myopic to say that because there are few poor members of his church that is the reason why he shouldnt own a jet.some of the commentators have two or three handsets;why dont they sell one of the phones and help a poor relative.we have to understand that not all fingers are equal
Oooh..so dey will use the tax to maintain d aviation industry???...smh
I beg to differ from the general opinion about the tax.Where on earth is a jet owner taxed per movement.I am sure they pay landing fees,parking fees,e.t.c
To own a jet is not a crime and for a pastor to own four jets is not a crime.I am rather happy that a Pastor that has a traceable track record of wealth building,corporate social responsibility,Intergrity owns a jet than a state governor buying a jet with taxpayers money.We need to have men like Dangote,Adenuga that will serve as role models for the upcoming generation to aspire to be like them and also to remove shame from the face of the blackman on the global platform ,where black people are seen as naturally poor
My people, let's call a spade a spade. Thou shall not judge but we all have good sense of reasoning. I don't care for what purpose but how reasonable is it for a man of God riding 4 jets? If a rich man has 4 cars, people complain its too much let alone 4 jets where each cost billions. Businessmen that we all know dere sources of income uses 1 or 2 jets and d use is justifiable cos they travel a lot. Tell me wt 4 jets for evangelism, how many millions of souls has he won? God is watching, beware, nothing last forever, vanity upon vanity.
Watz up wit pastors havin 4jet, atleast one is ok if realy he nid a jet' nyway na poor man to hlp dem pay tax sef
it is really nobodys business what he does with his money, whether he buys 10 jets or not, its his money and it's coming 4rm God not the church.God approves prosperity, it is in the Bible, so pls shut ur ignorant mouths.
Shut d fuck up! Robbing which poor? U brain is congealed! He has businesses for crying out loud! Hw much is the tithe and offerings? Y dint u say adenuga is robbing pple of dere money? Oyedepo is the chancellor of more than 1 uni. I dnt know wt he's doing wt 4 private jets too. But it's his money so y shld I bother. Do you know hw many pple he pays sch fees for in winners chapel.

But even the BIBLE said he who works shall eat. That he who doesn't have, the little shall be taken away to compliment the pocket of he who has already !That's the cradle of capitalism"the bible" for those who don't know. And moreover.......these individuals struggled so hard to be where they are today. Under the unstable and harsh economy,they were able to make it, develop such an empire and as well helping the government in terms of employment as so on, which the so called government couldn't do. Even to fulfill the "social contract theory" by the government is a problem, that's why they now privatized PHCN and others. If at all they frown at the surplus value....which is the main advantage and main focus of capitalism, why don't they abolish it ?....Rather than pushing people at the forefront, they possibly make the money, and they take it back in disguise".Even Karl marx envisaged this bullshit and condemned capitalism to it's barest minimum in his work"das kapital".Though capitalism develops a nation faster than socialism. But since they(the govt) don't want to develop the country, and has indicated and prophesied their weakness towards the developmental strides in the country.....I think they should allow these capitalists " bourgeoisies" enjoy their money pls. And the fruits of their labour, and as well, stop these unnecessary extortions, Or better still transform to socialism/ communism....Thereby, making the citizenry be classless "equality of all"....and every body to work for the govt. I know some people would think that taxation is good because of development economies in the world practice it" but have u asked urself what has the federal govt done with the revenues generated locally"oil" and also these countries that take taxation seriously have nothing really to fall back on in terms mineral resources unlike Nigeria...so that triggered "taxation" in order to fund the coffers of the govt. In a nutshell, I pray a revolutionary leader comes up to flush out all these mediocres that lack simple administrative prowess" I rest my laurels.....political analyst
And didi anyone anywher t anytime force u to pay tithe? Pooe mind speaking!!!!! How much is ur tithe in a decade anyway? U r not talking of cement and diesel price talking tithe. Mscheeew
Don't curse yourself with your mouth.
Leave my papa alone if he preaches prosperity n his members includin him are wealthy wats ur pain?shuld he be prophesing plan crash n earth quakes?beside he's not complaining.bia ℓ̊ƨ̣̣̇̇ dat my govt's name?de moni used to acquire jet shuld ave bin channel into reviving Alscon aluminium where job opportunities wuld be created 4 ova 200 graduate,free educatn without employmnt opportunity ℓ̊ƨ̣̣̇̇ rubbish.
One year payment is enough to help to less privileged. So where all the money? I don't even know why i am commenting on this post in the first place. No benefit!!!
Many of the commentatries reeks of ignorance and low classism.I hope we know for record purposes that Winners Chapel has a registered aviation business:Dominion Air Services;so therefore 4 jets is not enough.Winners Chapel has and duly runs two universities and there has never been any case of the workers not being paid meanwhile Ifeanyi Uba hasnt paid his workers in a longwhile and his company has gone into receivership because of too much debt.Winners chapel has secondary schools up and down the country.what about some OAP's buying Porsche.They have to be taxed too because that is luxury and they dont contribute to the society
when two elephants fight the grass will sufer . na d poor people go stl sufer am indirectly.
@Anonymous 8/10/2013 9.27pm, you know some of his members who cannot afford 3sq meals daily indeed! So they've been starving! Sure they ran to you for help. Tell us how they've been going to Ota every Sunday! Certainly you've been footing their bills! Well done! At least Linda posted your comment and your day is made. Better plan on getting a life!
why tax them so much? our commercial planes keep dropping from the sky and we are taxing people for protecting their lives. nonsense
I don't have an exact reason why Bishop Oyedepo has 4 private jets, but all i can say is that he is a man that knows God and also knows the covenant principles of prosperity.So therefore he is dangerously blessed by God. If he has 4 jets believe it or not, the jets are needed for the ministry and not for flexing or luxury travelling.
Have u felt the benefit of any money collected before? Go work o
Hehehe,you wish. Go home and soak garri as usual o!
Okoro...go make noise for your village I beg!
Why don't you attend his church if you respect him that much? Don't say what you don't understand.
It is only the mentally lazy that will think that a man of God can't be rich. I wonder why Nigerians believe that it is tithe money that Pastor Oyedepo used to buy jets, build universities, pay workers, build many secondary schools, and sponsor many students in School. If a church could achieve all these then, are we not to be shameful that even States in Nigeria could not maintain even a university with all the allocations. If you think that 4 private jets is too much for Pastor Oyedepo, then my gateman- Umaru believes it is insane for any man to be driving a 2 million naira car and be living in a 2 bdrm flat that costs 600,000 in a year. It is all about where you belong. In my 10 years of research, I have never seen a blessed man speak evil of rich men of God, it is always the exclusive preserve of the poor, frustrated, and hopeless folks...I don't attend winners, but I will try to sow on that ground. Come to think of it, are the folks complaining better educated, informed, and richer that the folks in church who gives regularly? If your MD and your boss are givers in Church, I believe it is just stupid to think you know better than them..
And who told u everybody could afford a donkey then?
What do u mean injustice, my friend, dont use words wrongly. Ok!
this just goes to show how ignorant people really are...If you want your own wealth, seek the lord in the days of yhur youth and you would never regret it...
@Temmy: its coconut, dear; NOT cocoanut, ok...seems u missed ur spelling classes in elementary...*wink+smiles*
Pls shut up. If you have the opportunity to buy 4cars wount you buy it? You and Bishop Oyedepo are not mate. What have you even achieved in life. How dare you judge how many things a man should possess. Can you equate king solomons wealth?
Men will always speak according to their size. My brother who God don bless e don bless man cannot reverse it . From scriptures , He blessed Abraham, Isaac, David, solomon and many more. Christ became poor that we might be rich. Riches are in levels. Pray to God to enlarge your coast just the same way Jabez prayed. I pray for Bishop oyedepo kind of Blessings Iin Jesus Name, Amen. See. Poverty is terrible.The worst thing about poverty is that it affects people mentality. Their reasoning becomes outdated. So when they speak, they sound outdated, backward and nonsensical. Such people need mental and poverty deliverance or else they will continue to be bereaved, unhappy and very sorrowful to the wealth and gains of others.
if only Govt have a positive plan for dis money, i wont b disturb, dis is jst anoda means of tax evasion, anoda avenue to xploit d rich in d name of tax, wat have dey been doing wit citizen tax money all dis years, all dey do is 2 promise & fail the poor masses. may God deliver us 4rm d hand of d oppressor.
It's good they have to pay if the money will be use to better the community....
Everybody is busy commenting about Bishop Oyedepo's 4 private jets.In the days of Jesus,He rode on a colt that no man had ever ridden.In our day,that is akin to a brand new Ferrari,Maserati,Aston Martin,Lambhorgini etc.In Bible days,Jesus could have used several private jets if the technology was available then.Who told you Jesus was poor?Can a poor man feed 5000 men besides women and children?Go and try it and see.Jesus used Peter's boat to preach the Gospel.Tell me,how many people in Jesus' day could buy or afford a boat?Jesus went to the house of Zaccheaus the tax collector to wine and dine.If he had a poverty-mentality,He would never dare it.He would have condemned the tax collector to death.The Devil has blinded the Church and that is the reason why many churches look askance at prosperity.You can be very rich and righteous altogether.The Devil knows you will deal the coup de grace with his kingdom if you had the money.How many of you know that this tax balderdash is aimed at impeding the flow of the Gospel?Please be sensitive in the spirit.Dangote,Adenuga and the likes of Jimoh Ibrahim and some Governors were just mentioned to beguile Nigerians.The kernel of this matter is to disrupt the Gospel.I am dead sure that Dangote and Adenuga will not pay a dime.Have you forgotten that they sponsored Goodluck Jonathan's campaign?Be guided.These people are shrewd.All they want to do is extort money from the Church which is their plan B OR stop the flow of the gospel which is their plan A.I will not be dismayed if it turned out that the Islamic fundamentalists are the brains behind this.Fellow Nigerians,refuse to be fooled and develop a prosperity mentality.It is sheer religious madness for you to say you want to remain poor because Jesus was born in a Manger.God created wealth and the level of wealth you command,righteously(because some of the so-called super-rich Nigerians are merely milking the citizenry e.g. How did Alakija who happens to be the richest black woman get her oil block from Ibrahim Babangida?),depends on your mentality,not Christianity.You can be a pastor and be wallowing in grinding poverty.It has nothing to do with religion.It is about covenant-wealth,not Harvard University wealth.Please wake up.If God has blessed you,genuinely,why would you hide in a cave?Have you asked yourselves about the latest development on the Otedola-Farouk subsidy scam case?You saw Otedola travel with Jonathan and Diezani to represent Nigeria while the case was still very hot in Naija.They will never pay a dime.The luxury tax is aimed at men of God.Period!
Its sad enough to see a lot of poor people in this country who cannot afford to eat 3 square meals a day and cannot afford to get the basic necessities of life. More sad however is when the poverty migrates further from the outside into their brain and compromises the quality of their thoughts and thus their mindset.This guarantees that such a person would never be free of poverty even when the circumstances of his/her life changes. Many of the comments I've seen here has shown that a lot of Nigerians mindset is now the throne on which poverty seats, that is why you would find it difficult to comprehend a pastor having 4 private jets. Whats wrong with it as long as he can afford it,some people were very happy at what the aviation ministry is asking of them saying "correct!","Peanuts..compare 2 deir fortunes","Good! I like this! If possible, they should pay more.*wink+smiles*" etc. Well are you sure you've not unconsciously given up on yourself reaching their level of wealth? For anyone who is still aiming to get to their level or even surpass it should know that today its their turn tomorrow would be yours how would you feel then when a govt that didn't help you to succeed now wants to collect (by force) out of the profit you sweated for. I think we should be more fair in our thinking and stop being sentimental.
It is a case of Big man big wahala.
The bill is just paper thing but i am quite sure it wont give out any money to nigerian.. No one can face this rich people.. All is to fool us
