Nigerian Twitter user, Kevin Odanz has lashed out at a church that allegedly refused to officiate a member’s burial because he didn’t pay tithe for the last 3 years.

According to Kevin, the church refused to officiate the burial of his colleague’s friend because he had stopped attending the church and owed 3 years tithe. They demand that the 3-year tithe should be paid by his family before they can bury him.

Odanz wrote on Twitter;

“A colleague’s father died and their church (name withheld) is refusing to officiate the burial. They claim he stopped attending the church and paying tithe 3 years ago. And if the church must bury him, the family has to pay all the tithe he didn’t pay in the last 3 years.

“I am utterly enraged and disgusted at the hypocrisy and greed that underlies religious practices in this country. At the end of the day, it is all about money even for the most pious of men of God. Fucking greedy exploitative idiots, cashing out on the rot in this country.

“When the pastor needs help, wants to build a church or buy a car, the entire church contributes for such projects. But when you get sick and are at the verge of dying, the church merely offers you project.

“And when you die, they look for ways to profit from your death. Idiots”
