People react to the pastor's account
Prince Micheal said:
"Yahoo simply means an Avenue of taking what’s belong to someone else with a false pretense! Remember most of the people you convince to invest there life saving ended up committing sui.cide when they so called yahoo boys fail to keep up with the end of their bargain! So if your God answers such prayers, my brother I think I rather follow the gods of my ancestors! Thank you."

"During this time, we shall see what is hiding and controlling most men of God, seeing they are not who we think they are."

Emilia Femi said:
"I don't believe God likes bad actions or listens to prayers about them. People's beliefs and personal ideas change how they see situations. Some may think it's a sign from God, while others believe it's a mistake or an excuse for wrongdoings. To make the world better, we should follow good values and work for fairness."

"God answers such prayers the bible said I will show mercy in whom I will show mercy to.God no be from one person village."
