A man has revealed that he stopped attending his church after the pastor asked members to contribute money to buy a car for his wife.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), the man explained that he left the church after the pastor, who already owned five cars, told the congregation that his wife, “Mummy,” did not have a car and urged them to donate towards getting her one
He wrote: “I left my former church the day my pastor with five cars told us, ‘Mummy does not have her own car. Let’s get her one.’ I knew I was in the wrong place.”
Though he did not disclose the church’s name, his revelation sparked reactions online, with many social media users flooding the comment section to share their thoughts.
See some reactions below:
@lollypeezle: “Maybe he was talking about your mum, you should have calmed down. Let him explain the mum.”
@HonNonsoNwankwo: “I learnt from my dad that whenever a pastor ask for what I cannot give my own family, or ask for money to buy what he can live without, quit & run. That’s not God’s church but Pastor’s shop.”
@DamonAss101: “Me I left the day they were forcing me to speak in tongues.. I told them speaking in tongues, you have to be filled with the holy Spirit as a herd but this guy was practically teaching me to say macacasaba koboloko lala.”
@It_Chioma: “This is so shameful and you will think it is made up. Some of these men don’t know God.”
@Uzanethegoat: “my priest in a Catholic Church started calling offering from 15m that’s when I realized it’s all business.”
@IykeNwaObi: “So you ran away because you don’t want to buy mummy GO car? A whole mummy GO.”
@richiejon22: “I left redeem church cus d pastor said they are doing 100 days fasting for Nigeria. U can imagine!!”
@gskodam: “I stopped taking church seriously when I was a teenager. On this faithful Sunday when a family came for a thanksgiving and they spent about an hour on the pulpit because they were wealthy and brought in a new sound proof generator.”
@olulade15: “It’s been two years & some months I av gone to church & I feel no remorse at all. Most churches are business centre. The day I realized if I kneel down in my room & pray to God he answers I stopped. I only attend prayer programmes quarterly, half year or at d end of d year.”
at least you went to church with your brain and you still held on to it kudos
The viral surveillance video shows the moment the teenager and his accomplices pull up in a van next to the elderly man as he is preparing to exit his white Toyota Hilux near his home last Monday, Jan, 27, night, local outlet Page 12 reported.
The teenager quickly leaps out of the van before it can even come to a full stop next to the white car, with the boy seen aiming what appears to be a handgun at the Toyota driver, according to the clip.
The teenager, who was described by a friend online as a “great person,” was holding a fake gun meant to resemble a gray .22-caliber mini Bersa Thunder, Page 12 reported.
Investigators said they are still on the hunt for the two other people who were in the van at the time of the attempted robbery.
The Departmental Investigations Directorate is treating the case as an aggravated robbery conducted by suspected gang members, officials added.
Local prosecutor Diego Rulli, who is in charge of the case, will not seek charges against the 78- year-old man, who he said acted in clear self- defense with a weapon that he is licensed to carry and use.
The shooting sent shockwaves throughout Buenos Aires as it was the second such case to happen in January 2025. In the first, another minor was shot and k!lled after attempting to steal a motorcycle in the La Tablada neighborhood.
VTJN: so in your mind you think rich men don't get married to girls from poor home? Even in my family 2 of my cousins got married to rich guys. One is in US while the other one is in Canada. My neighbour is a single mother of 2. She got married to a US based man. When it comes to marriage, women can be lucky to marry anyone.
laivwire: The only way to deal with such tenants is to frustrate them until they leave. It's usually a war of attrition because if you don't, they would continue to stay even beyond the 6 months notice. Bear in mind that their continuous presence is costing you money especially when they choose to be stubborn.
- Cut power. - Change gate locks arbitrarily and don't give them the key. - Send notices of rent due every 2 weeks. Never acknowledge the 6 month grace period. - Disconnect water - Remove the roof
there is nothing like 6month grace period. Once your tenancy expires, once you are in arrears of rent you do nit need 6 month notice but 7days owners intention to recover possession
nifemi25: Why not contact human right activists in your area ..... They will invite the tenant for questioning and will surely evit him.... Just that it might cost you little change
GanagiBitrus: So you don't know THERE APPEARS is synonymous to APPARENTLY. Abeg go ask for a refund from your Secondary school English teacher.
In case you don't know, THERE APPEARS is a phrase implying uncertainty.
Anyway let's not deviate much. Point is, Chelle has not officially terminated his contract with the club...
what fvckry is this....there appears" is from the reporters statement then also it shows from the clause is not mandatory but upon the discretion of the coach to accept or not accept... Common think brooooo THINK
GanagiBitrus: Pls read with comprehension. The paragraph on the clause started with "APPARENTLY..." which implies uncertainty. Moreover the clause has not been activated.
Point is, Chelle has not officially terminated his contract with the club...
lmaooo.....get me the extract where u saw the apparently. meanwhile if you truly read with comprehension you will understand thid line...There appears to be a clause in Chelle's contract that allows him to leave if offered a national team position.
TriCee: They should rather 'fire' the coach who left while still on contract.
majority of Nairaland people are illiterate....... NAIRALANDERS... THERE IS A FCKIN CLAUSE THAT STATES THAT HE CAN ACCEPT ANY OFFER FROM A NATIONAL TEAM.......
Sobalim: Nigerian football governing body is not serious. This is not the calibre of coach that we need to take us to world cup next year. Everything under Tinubu is a mess
First and foremost i am not a. Muslim. And i will never be. Secondly, the inscription is deliberate to upset the Christians. The muslims should have sticked to Isa as it was named so in the Qur'an. So it's deliberate to belittle and incite the Christians
jmoore: Spending 70 million naira to build a 2 story building 3 bedroom flats.
Put the rent at 350,000 naira per year for each flat in a location like Aba, it will take you more than 33 years to breakeven.
House for rent as an investment is what your children will enjoy, not you.
Use your spare money to build if you have excess cash.
If you have 80 million naira in your account as a young man, don't use it to build that story building. Reinvest it in your business that gave you that 80 million naira.
You can buy land, but don't build until you have at least times 3-4 of the building budget in your account.
I disagree. I disagree. When you build on your land, you incrrase the value of that area... Aside that if you want to do land banking you are losing on that property. Imagine buying a land for 100m and you want to resell the land in 20 years time, you decided to build a house worth 200m on it making it 300m,after 20 years that land alone will worth about 300m imagine your profit is also inclusive of the re ts you received on it.
naptu2: 5) Moving goods on the Atlantic by ship and barge
As I said, Dangote built its own port when it was building its refinery and there's also the Lekki Deep Sea Port in the area. Some of the goods from Ibeju Lekki will be moved by sea.
Yes, I am also referring to goods that will be moved to other parts of Lagos and to other parts of Nigeria.
Dangote will move its petroleum products by ship from Lekki to Apapa and other parts of the Lagos Mainland. Containers will also be moved by barge from Lekki to Onne, Warri, Onitsha and other parts of Nigeria.
Super33999: Oluponna is actually right if the church was registered with the government as a business entity but if not, then the church is not a family property
church is registered under incorporated trustee. A non profit organisation. Even if the church wants to close down a assets shoukd be transferred to similar organisation
