Over a few months ago, there was a debate on paying tithe on social media platforms as people shared their views. For some people who identified as Christians, paying tithe is important as commanded by God in the holy book. Others noted that it was not a must to pay it.

Another set of people raised questions on what the tithes paid to churches were used for. This issue generated a lot of controversies; however, many Nigerian pastors maintained that it was an important duty for true Christians.

Reiterating the message on tithing, the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, said that paying less than one’s tithe is deception. He noted that it was better that such a person did not pay it at all.
