Nigerians! chai!
An irate
and disappointed middle aged man has demanded that his church refund his past
contributions, including tithes, or else face court action. The middle aged man
claims his Accra-based church refused to assist him, in a period during which
he faced extreme financial difficulties. The disappointed man insists that his
contributions to the church, which cover a period of fifteen (15) years, should
have afforded him some reprieve in his time of trouble. However, he claims the
one place where he expected to find help turned a blind eye on his predicament
and his pleas for help fell on deaf ears. He has decided to move to a new
church which would be more willing to assist its
members but before he leaves, he says he wants the church to pay back every cedi he has ever paid into their coffers.
“I want them to pay me all the money I have
given to them since I started churching [fellowshipping] with them. His demands
are not restricted to donations and collection however. The frustrated man
insists that even the tithes he paid over the fifteen (15) year period should
be returned to him. “Everything. Donations, everything they should refund my
money to me. The tithes I am paying is not going to God, it’s going to one
particular person and that is the pastor. It is not going to God, it is going
to the pastor.” The peeved man insists that the money he paid should still be
in the church coffers and that the money “can never fly”. I want them to give
me my money, he reiterated. “If they do not give me back my money, I will take
them to court!”.
