The findings by SUNDAY ABORISADE revealed that many of the country’s prosperity-preaching, super-rich mega churches pay their pastors poor wages.

The newspaper’s findings revealed that a substantial majority of the pastors engaged by the churches earned as low as N25,000 per month while some only received a recharge card at the end of the month.
