The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has poured out dissatisfaction over the new law from the Ministry of Interior head by Rauf Aregbesola that compulsory payment of N30,000 by Churches to perform statutory marriages and N21,000 for each marriages certificate.

PFN has alleged that churches are being targeted by the Federal Government following the new marriage certificate law introduced by the Ministry of Interior.

PFN’s National President of the fellowship, Rev.(Dr.) Felix Omobude who lashed out at the Ministry of Interior over the imposition of a compulsory N30,000 charge license for Christian worship centers for the conduct of statutory marriages in churches and N21,000 for each marriage certificate alleged that it is an attempt to commercialize Christian marriages in the country.


Omobude called on the Federal Government to shelve the unpopular policy which he said is exploitative and targeted against Christian marriages in the country. He added that they will use every legal means to stop the new marriage certificate law.
He said;

“This is very unfair and to the best of our understanding, the new law is targeted against the Church because the Traditional and Islamic weddings are exempted from paying the new marriage certificate fees.

“PFN is at a loss as to why Church Marriages should be in the exclusive list of the nation’s constitution. The PFN, therefore calls on the Federal Government to immediately shelve the unpopular policy targeted against Christian marriages in the country.

“If the Ministry of Interior is in dire need of funds, it should look elsewhere and resist the temptation of placing an extra financial burden on the Christians and their churches.”

The big companies like MTN shortchange data subscribers. One loads 2 gig and his data is cut off in 5 days, after using Google chrome on web pages. Big banks debit you irrelevantly. All ways of making money to stay afloat.

What do you expect government to do, TAX, FINES, and all sorts of levies.

One can get married at a Local Govt. Registry that operates under the auspices of the Federal Registry. The certificate obtained there is all you need. That can be followed up with Church wedding/blessing at no extra cost. You don't need another certificate from the Church under the law.

However marrying in Church/Mosque signifies that you are married under the tenets of religion. What we call Introduction and Engagement/Traditional wedding is also valid under the law. Cases relating to this are handled by Customary Courts in line with the various traditional practices and culture.

Tinubu and his local gang of racketeers

While a northern almajiri can marry 4 wives without marriage certificate. Yet some people think Nigeria is not an islamic nation under buhari's islamist regime.

One Nigeria is an islamic-fulanization project!
