On May 3, 2023, a pastor from Nigeria was captured on video pleading with his congregation to come forward with money to “plant a seed” and receive blessings.
He counted from one to seven while sweating profusely, but none of his members responded to his call. The pastor appeared emotional as he begged his “brainwashed” followers to come forward.
The video quickly went viral, sparking outrage and debate about the role of religion in society.
Many people condemned the pastor for taking advantage of vulnerable individuals and using religion as a means of financial gain.
Others defended the pastor, arguing that he was simply following the teachings of his faith and that it was up to individuals to decide whether or not to give money.
Despite the controversy, the video served as a wake-up call for many people who had blindly followed religious leaders without questioning their motives.
