In a video on X, the young man said he needed money and asked the church for help, but they failed him.
“After JHS, I gained admission to SHS, and the admission fee was GH¢535. My mother was able to raise GH¢300, so she went to the church and asked for a loan of GH¢235, but they did not give her.”
According to the young man, he and his mother were committed to the church and God but received no help.
“I was a drummer and a Sunday school teacher. My mother used to clean the church, but they did not give us the money. So I had to miss the first semester of school. I enrolled in the second semester when I got the needed amount to pay.”
After the incident, the young man has never entered a church. He said that even though he has a relationship with God, he does not go to church. He added that he gives his tithe to the needy on Sundays so that God will bless him.

“He’s not serious. Using the experience you had in one church to generalize the whole situation doesn’t make him wise. I only see a bitter person here which is not good for him”
