The actress revealed that she uses money she considers her tithe to provide assistance to struggling people on the streets, including offering food and other forms of support.

Sarah Martins explained that her decision is based on her desire to make a direct impact on vulnerable individuals who require help.

“I don’t pay tithe to pastors, I pay to struggling people on the street by feeding them. Instead of enriching rich pastors, I’ll rather use my money to empower people that don’t know where their help comes from,” she said.

Her comments have generated mixed reactions among social media users, with some praising her focus on helping disadvantaged people, while others debated her interpretation of religious giving and the traditional role of tithes.

Beyond her views on charity, the actress also highlighted the importance of support systems in business growth, sharing how individuals can influence the success of others through encouragement and promotion.

Sarah Martins claimed that popular crossdresser Bobrisky played a major role in boosting her business, saying the publicity support helped her record ₦15 million in sales within a single day.

“Bobrisky made 15 million naira for my business in just one day,” she said, expressing appreciation for the impact of personal networks and collaborations.

The discussion surrounding her remarks has renewed conversations about philanthropy, religious contributions and the different ways individuals choose to support communities.
