“That was it.”
@HonNonsoNwankwo said:
“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.”

Man’s unpleasant encounter with Catholic priest
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported that a man had narrated his unpleasant encounter with a Catholic priest that made him turn his back on anything related to the church.
According to the man, he was a devoted Christian and lived in the church’s house during his NYSC programme. He said he cleaned the church every Saturday, counted offerings and helped out with other things.
After completing his NYSC programme, he said he approached his Catholic priest to use his connections to recommend him for a job and what he got was a job that paid N15k.
