A Nigerian man has expressed shock after his mother’s ₦4,000 tithe was returned by church officials, who insisted the minimum acceptable amount is ₦10,000.
Sharing the incident on social media, he said his mother was asked to increase her offering, leaving him speechless. The post quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions online.
Many criticized the church for setting a tithe threshold, while others questioned the authenticity of the claim. The church has yet to respond to the controversy.See some reactions below:
@your_Favxparte: “Catholic churches now collect tithe?😳Never happened when i was a catholic.”
@Loadedbrodah: “You dey laugh one side because it’s funny?? They rejected her tithe but claim it’s for God So they’re not Men of God but gods of men and you’re not telling your mom?”
@Winifunds: “Tithe and morning mass in thesame sentence, this your lie no fly, Talk another one.”
@lumen5000: “This can never ever happen in catholic church. The poster is catching cruise. Don’t mind her.”
@iamjamesudom: “Tithe is not even a teaching in catholic . How is your mum giving tithe and it’s also being returned. What nonsense are you guys doing in your parish?”
@kellyoxty: “So, did they basically tell her to give more than 10% as tithe, or did they not believe that 4k was her 10%?”
@stilcoolkat: “Why do Nigerians like defending their oppressors? A Baptist pastor called my parents out on a Sunday service for poor tithing. Mind you , this was more than 15yrs ago. I have not gone past the trauma yet. Actually, that was how I stop attending churches.”
