An African Man Will Always Hide Good Things From His Fellow African - Fidelis Okechukwu

Olumide Emmanuel’s statement that only “unserious people” debate tithing, calling it an act of worship to God, stirred significant controversy. Among the responses was a cynical comment: “Have you seen an African man that will tell fellow African what will favour him?” This remark reflects a broader distrust, implying that Africans rarely act in each other’s best interest without personal gain.

Such skepticism highlights a deeper issue of mistrust within communities, where even spiritual discussions are clouded by doubt about intentions. While tithing is seen by many as an act of devotion, comments like this show how financial contributions to churches are often met with suspicion. Rebuilding trust within communities and faith institutions requires transparency and genuine service, encouraging unity rather than division.
