A Nigerian lady has shared her surprising encounter with a pastor who allegedly reached out to her, requesting N3.5 million, claiming he was led by God to ask for the money.
The lady, identified simply as Omote, took to her X (formerly Twitter) page to narrate the unusual experience. She revealed that she had been actively engaging with the pastor’s Instagram page, consistently commenting on his posts before receiving the unexpected request.
According to her, the pastor did not ask for a general offering or a voluntary donation to support the church but instead specified an amount of N3.5 million, leaving her both shocked and amused.
She wrote: “I’ve been consistently commenting on this popular pastor’s Instagram page. One of the church pastors reached out to me and said he felt led to ask me for N3.5 million.
“I mean, if he had simply said, ‘Give anything to support the ministry,’ I would have considered giving an offering. But he specifically mentioned N3.5 million—where does he expect me to get that kind of money?”
Her post quickly went viral, sparking widespread reactions and discussions online. Many Nigerians found the situation hilarious, while others expressed concerns about religious figures making financial demands under the guise of divine instruction.
Here are some of the reactions from social media users:

@badboytegs joked: “Tell him the Lord told you to ask him if he’s mad.”
As the conversation continues to trend, many have called for more scrutiny regarding financial requests made by religious leaders, urging individuals to be cautious when approached with such demands.
