Former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has said that Nigeria will only progress if Nigerians pay their taxes instead of paying tithes to churches and men of God.
Omokri who took up the job of a social critic and political activist after the end of Jonathan’s tenure, in a post on his verified X account on Saturday, accused Nigerians of preferring to pay tithes to their churches and then turning around to demand for roads and proper infrastructure from their government to whom they hardly pay taxes.
“No matter how corrupt and inept you think the Nigerian government is, they are far more open and transparent about what they do with the little taxes you pay than any church in Nigeria,” Omokri wrote.
