Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has stirred conversations online after revealing that she no longer pays tithes, choosing instead to use the money to feed struggling families and empower people in need.
Speaking during a recent interview, the actress said she believes genuine Christianity is reflected in compassion and practical support for the less privileged. According to her, she would rather invest her resources in changing lives than contribute to the wealth of already affluent pastors.
Martins also opened up about her financial journey, revealing that she has invested up to ₦15 million in producing a single movie and has earned as much as ₦40 million in a month through her acting career and other business ventures.
Her candid remarks have sparked widespread reactions on social media, with some praising her humanitarian approach. In contrast, others challenged her stance on tithing, reigniting the age-old debate over faith, giving and how religious contributions should be used.
