Pastor, Wife Squander ₦5m Donation For Daughter’s Surgery (Video)

A Nigerian pastor and his wife have come under fire after reports emerged that they squandered ₦5 million contributed by generous Nigerians for their daughter’s urgent surgery.

Despite receiving the substantial sum through a public fundraising campaign, the surgery has not been carried out, and the couple has admitted that no funds remain.

The revelation came to light in a viral video shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where the couple was interviewed by a man who had coordinated the fundraising effort.

In the video, the facilitator explained how well-meaning Nigerians donated approximately ₦5 million to help save the child. However, during the interview, the pastor’s wife confessed that the money had already been spent, yet the surgery had not taken place. This admission left viewers shocked and outraged.

When pressed for an explanation, the pastor’s wife avoided giving clear details, raising suspicions about how the funds were used. Many felt her behavior, and her interruptions during the interview, hinted at something being concealed.

The news has sparked widespread anger and disappointment online. Social media users were quick to voice their opinions, with many calling for a thorough investigation into how the money was spent.

@mosopeSZN: “Squandered it in two months. What a shame. We reflect the kind of leaders we have.”

@ruleyourspace: “They need to print their account statement. Any future donations must go directly to the hospital or into an account with trusted overseers.”

@Jdadi_: “The woman seems to have led the spending. There’s no sign of lavish use on themselves or the child. We need answers.”

@adeniyishipson: “They spent the money and are believing God for a miracle.”

@popsytiana: “I don’t know what to say … but something is wrong with both husband and wife mentally.”

@dabonelesshuman: “These people need to be investigated. Look how she stopped the man from talking—they’re hiding something.”

@Jonneto2: “It’s a lie. They still have some of the money. Proper investigations are needed.”

@tittataiwo: “It seems they used the money to build their church or buy equipment instead of saving their child’s life.”

@afolagbenga: “It’s likely they gave the money to a spiritual father who promised to heal the child.”

@Iamchibyk: “Just imagine. They squandered the money while believing God for a miracle.”

The situation has left many questioning the couple’s priorities. Critics suggest that the funds might have been diverted for personal or church-related expenses, as no visible improvements in their living conditions or the child’s well-being are evident.

Some commenters proposed stricter measures for future donations, such as channeling money directly to the hospital or setting up a trust fund managed by neutral parties to ensure transparency.

This incident has highlighted the challenges of public fundraising and the importance of accountability. Many are urging authorities to step in and ensure the child’s welfare is prioritized, while donors have expressed frustration over the couple’s actions, which they see as a betrayal of trust.
