Toke Makinwa Explains Why She Stopped Paying Tithes

Toke Makinwa, a Nigerian media personality, shared her reasons for ceasing to pay tithes in church during an interview with Chude. She began to question the church's handling of large sums of money while many members struggle with basic needs such as rent and medical bills.

Makinwa described her experience as a "post-traumatic church syndrome," where individuals feel emotionally and spiritually damaged. She reflected on her past, revealing that seven years ago, she gave an entire brand endorsement deal to the church, believing it would bring financial blessings.

However, she has since chosen a different path, opting to provide direct support to individuals in need, such as hospitals, maternity wards, and widows. Makinwa emphasized the importance of giving based on personal conviction rather than traditional pressure, encouraging others to consider the direct impact of their support on someone's life.
