The story of a lady who mistakenly transferred N100,000 instead of N10,000 as tithe to her pastor has sparked a heated debate on social media.
The lady, who was not named, claimed that she had called the pastor immediately after the mistake but he kept stalling, leading her to storm his office with others demanding a refund.
According to an account shared on the microblogging platform X, the lady had tried to send $10 as her tithe but accidentally added an extra zero, making it $100.
She claimed that she had called the pastor to inform him of the mistake, but he refused to refund the money.
The pastor’s response, which was shared in a video, left many people outraged. He was heard saying that the mistake was “divine” and that the money was for God. This response sparked a wave of criticism, with many people accusing him of being a “scammer in white robes.”

The incident has sparked a lot of debate on social media, with many people weighing in on the matter. Some people have suggested that the pastor should have quietly returned the money to avoid drawing attention to the issue. Others have questioned how the pastor would know whether the mistake was intentional or not.
One netizen, @adekunleoderinde, suggested that the lady should get the entire N100,000 back for auditing and future issues. He argued that a simple call or text between the lady and the pastor could have settled the matter without involving others.
Another netizen, @PrettyMfon, warned pastors who prioritize money over their congregation. She advised them to run from their church if they love money more than their congregation.
