A Nigerian pastor has reportedly been chased out of a church he built on a piece of land that was loaned to him by a woman who’s a member of the congregation.

The woman’s daughter, Ifeoluwa Anthonia narrated how she permitted the clergyman to use the land for three days revival only for her to have loss of memoray regarding the land.

She said the man of God went ahead to erect a temporary church building on the same land and kept asking members to pray for God to help them become bonafide owners.

Anthonia said her mother forgot that she gave the land to the pastor, so she had to involve her uncle, who then ensured that they were sent packing from the place.

In her words;

“My mum borrowed a pastor a piece of land for 3 days revival. She just suddenly forgot about the land until I was told he has built a temporary church on it and always telling his church members to pray that God should collect the land for them.

The guy that told me even explained that it seems they’ve prayed that my mum should forget the land. I called my mum’s brother immediately, that one no dey hear that kinda matter o, he sent them packing that same week.”

Similarly, a Nigerian woman known as Amanda has narrated how she and her husband got into an intense fight over land ownership issue.

She revealed that she paid for a piece of land with her own money but she was not able to go and sign the necessary documents so she sent her hubby.

However, he decided to write his name as the owner of the land instead of his wife’s name as she expected.

She kept disturbing him to go along with her so that they can rectify it but he refused, saying that it makes no sense since they are one as husband and wife.

According to her, the man is accusing her of having ulterior motive for insisting that he changed the land ownership to her name.

The woman begged for advise from Twitter users because she is confused on how to handle the situation.

Amanda wrote; “Please am I being selfish here as my husband said, I bought a land with my money. My husband didn’t contribute a dime. The day we where supposed to sign the necessary document involved, I was so busy with work. So I told my husband to go and meet the man and explain to him so that we will reschedule the date. We agreed on my hubby signing as a witness and I the buyer. But hubby went and did another thing.

He signed as the buyer and he called his brother who came and signed as a witness. Since then I have been telling hubby for we to go and rectify it. He is Now reading meaning into it saying I have an ulterior motive. He said are we not one? It doesn’t matter who signed it or not. Please twitter nation, how do I handle this? It’s not as if I am praying for a bad thing to happen but we don’t know tomorrow. Am I wrong here?”
