Popular comedian, Basketmouth has come out to react to Bishop David Oyedepo’s comment about tithing being important for prosperity.

Reacting, the entertainer simply revealed that the church is simply threatening people with a financial curse over tithe despite a bad economy.

According to him, it is very exhausting and tiring because, in the same country, we have a government that will also threaten citizens with prosecution if they do not pay Tax & VAT.

He added that it is very obvious that the level of unemployment in Nigeria has put citizens in a position that makes it very hard to meet these demands.

His words, “THIS LIFE NO BALANCE AT ALL!!
The Govt will threaten us with prosecution if we don’t pay our TAX & VAT.
The CHURCH will now threaten us with a FINANCIAL CURSE if you don’t pay your TITHE!

Inside the TERRIBLE ECONOMY?
With the LEVEL OF UNEMPLOYMENT?
ABEGIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!”
