Pay tax for what? Bishop Oyedepo reacts to being named richest pastor in the world

Winners Chapel GO Bishop David Oyedepo who
recently turned 60, has reacted to the Forbes List of
World's Richest pastors where he was placed at No.1
with an estimated worth of about $150million.

Asked about Forbes' estimate of his fortune, Bishop
Oyedepo told Reuters that he doesn't know how
Forbes arrived at their figure but says he's blessed...

"For me, to have fortune means someone who has
what he needs at any point in time. I don't see
myself as having $150 million stacked up
somewhere. Whatever way they found their
figures, I am only able to say I am blessed by the
Lord."

Asked if churches should pay tax considering how
much they make, Bishop Oyedepo said;
"There is no single government input on this
premises. We supply our water, we make our
roads, then you ... say: 'Let's tax them'. For what?"
