A Nigerian content creator identified as Ezeani has taken to her Twitter handle to share a heart touching tale of how her church refused to bury her father over debt.
Ezeani while responding to a viral tweet on the internet asking netizens why they stopped attending church, revealed that when her father died, the church leaders demanded that her family pay off his outstanding debt before he could be buried.
According to her, “My father died, they threatened not to bury him until we paid off his outstanding. He’d been a very active member from before I was born.
“He loved church, crazy. He’d rather be wheeled to church dying than skip a Sunday. He contributed immensely, EVERY way.
“Everyone was aware his illness drained our bank, thus, outstanding dues.
Yet… Amongst other things anyway but this was the last straw.”
