A Twitter user identified simply as as NwanIsu (@Iamokorie), has taken to the social networking platform to reveal that the wife of his friend, donated N300,000 in church from their family account.
According to him, the husband was working offshore and got a debit of N300,000, which his wife supposedly sowed as a seed in church.
The furious husband called his wife and was screaming his lungs out as he begged that he be flown back to shore in Lagos, so he can go home to sort out the issue.
Clearly, his hard earned money was freely given to a pastor by his wife and the explanation was that she was led by the 'spirit'.
He wrote: "My friend is offshore....His wife made a pledge of 300k to church as seed....Man was having lunch when he saw the debit alert....He can't go back to the plant now as he is begging that they book him out and fly him back to Lagos."
As the post immediately went viral online, popular OAP, Dadddy Freeze, who is well known for lambasting the new generation pastors he often described to as 'Yahoo Pastors', reacted to the revelation by the Twitter user.
