The cleric, however, stated that he had stopped doing so as it was a means of siphoning money off church members by pastors.

Damina cited how Jesus didn't pay or receive tithe in the Bible to back up his opinion.

VDM reacts to Pastor Abel Damina's video

Amid the mixed reactions that have trailed Damina's comment, including from Christians, VDM has defended the cleric.

Sharing a couple of tweets of some Christians criticising Damina, VDM stated that the cleric is an anointed man of God who knew the truth about his colleagues.

VDM, who hinted that he might consider attending Damina's church, said he would ensure his children don't put their money in church.

"My children wouldn't put one naira in church; we create an altar, burn the cow or goat, and everything we go up," he said.
