Can Eden be taxed? That’s the question stirring online debates after outspoken activist VeryDarkMan rejected Pastor David Ibiyeomie's claim that Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden for failing to tithe. His response wasn’t just disagreement, it was a stinging rebuke against what he calls manipulative teachings gaining traction in Nigerian churches.
VeryDarkMan’s viral refutation of Pastor Ibiyeomie's tithing claim adds fuel to Nigeria’s growing digital reckoning with religious narratives.
- VeryDarkMan criticised Pastor Ibiyeomie’s claim linking Adam and Eve's expulsion to non-tithing.
- He emphasised that tithing did not exist in Eden and only emerged later in biblical texts.
- The activist called the teaching 'nonsense' and accused it of misleading believers.
- The issue has reignited wider debates on digital platforms about religious influence in Nigeria.
- This isn’t the first time Pastor Ibiyeomie's tithing sermons have sparked public scrutiny.
