“All the churches I know are rich. Every Sunday, there’s a building fund envelope. You guys have so much money, and it’s not taxed. It’s a business, if I’m going to be real, because if that pastor dies today, either his wife or his child becomes the next pastor,” she added.
Toke clarified that she still gives offerings in church and supports church programmes when necessary.
However, she said she no longer pays her regular tithe directly to religious institutions.
