A Nigerian pastor and his wife have reportedly squandered approximately ₦5 million contributed by donors for their daughter's surgery within two months, with no clear explanation of how the money was spent.
This revelation surfaced in a viral video circulating on the popular social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
In the video, the pastor and his wife were interviewed by a man who appeared to have facilitated the fundraising effort using his network of contacts.
During the interview, the man disclosed that generous individuals contributed around ₦5 million to help the couple afford the surgery their daughter urgently needed.
However, the pastor's wife admitted that the money had been spent and shockingly confirmed that the surgery was yet to be carried out. She also revealed that no funds remained from the contributions.
The video has sparked widespread outrage, with concerned viewers flooding the comment section to express their disappointment and share their opinions on the matter.

@adeniyishipson: "They spent the money and believing God will do a miracle."
@popsytiana: "I don't know wat to say ... but something is wrong with both husband and wife mentally."
@dabonelesshuman: "This people need to be investigated very well about how dey spend the money...see how she stopped the man from talking...they are hiding something or believe if dey say they have spent all the money, people would contribute more for them."
@Jonneto2: "It's a lie. They still have some of the money. You need to do some investigations."
@tittataiwo: "Looking at these ingrates, I see no changes despite spending such a huge amount. It seems they are either using the money to build the business they believe in so much than the live of their child, 'the church,' or perhaps used it to acquire some equipments. I think."
@afolagbenga: "It's more than meets the eye, I can't see anything they have spent the money on. It's likely they have one spiritual father that collected the money from them and told them he will heal the child."
@CFCGbemi: "Won't be surprised if they spend the money on trying to build a house."
@Iamchibyk: "Just imagine....... They squandered the money while believing God for a miracle."
@mosopeSZN: "Squandered it in 2 months. What a shame. We are truly a reflection of our leaders."
@ruleyourspace: "They must print their account statement to check the balance. If any contribution will be made for the child again, it must be direct to an account created in her name with different trustees not related to her but recognized under oath. Make Payment direct to the hospital."
@Jdadi_: "The woman is the architect of the spending, you cant even see a sign of lavish spending on them or the kid.what they did with the money needs to be established."
