A Nigerian mother has sparked online outrage after reportedly investing her son’s N800,000 in a church project and donating all the household foodstuffs, except salt, as a “seed” offering.
This revelation surfaced in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the affected son, who detailed his experience.
According to him, his elder brother initially gave him N1 million to invest in a POS business, but he decided to allocate N800,000 of it to his mother for a poultry business, believing she would make the most of it.
However, he later discovered that his mother took the money to their village and invested it into building a new church, where she was appointed in charge.
To his surprise, she also gave away all the food items in the house as an offering to the church, leaving only salt behind.
In his post, he shared, “Good day sir, please I sincerely need your advice on what to do right now. My elder brother gave me N1 million to invest in my POS business, with plans to collect it during his final year (he’s in university). So I entrusted my mom with N800,000 to start a poultry business.”
“When my brother recently asked for the money, I only had the N200,000 I invested, and I was shocked to find out my mom and her pastor used the N800,000 to build a church branch in her village. She didn’t inform me, and I only found out through my uncle.”
“I’m lost and unsure what to do, especially after discovering that she also donated all the food I bought last Saturday. I’m considering moving out, but I’m only 20 years old, and I’m unsure about living alone.”
