ALWAYS PAY YOUR TAX - CLERIC URGES CHRISTIANS

According to NAN, a cleric, Rev. Ifeanyi
Okonkwo, yesterday urged Christians to pay
their tax and other dues to contribute to efforts
to exit the nation from the current economic
recession.
In a homily at the Anglican Church of
Ascension, Enugu, Okonkwo said that
Nigerians could get out of recession if
citizens would be faithful in paying their taxes
and other dues.
The cleric criticised Christians, especially
traders that found it difficult to pay their tax
voluntarily.
Okonkwo said, “As Christ instructs us to give
what belongs to Caesar, to Caesar; and what
belongs to God, to God. Christ Himself paid
His tax while He was on earth. This is to
show that God sanctions every individual to
contribute to the common-fund used in
building the society and providing social
services through paying of taxes and other
dues.’’
