I Used Part Of Our Church Offering To Win 2 Million Naira On Sportybet.


What Should He Do Now?

A Nigerian man who is a member of his church’s financial committee has made a shocking confession. Out of pressure, he used part of the church offering to place a bet on Sportybet — and won ₦2 million.

Now, he says he feels guilty because it was God’s money, and he doesn't know whether to:

Return all the money to the church, or

Relocate to another state and change his number to avoid the shame and consequences.

👉 Here’s his anonymous confession:

“I am part of the financial committee in my church. Out of pressure, I used part of our church offering to win 2 million naira on Sportybet. I feel guilty about it because it’s God’s money. Now I don’t know if I should return everything or just relocate to another state and change my number.”


🔍 What’s your honest opinion?

📌 Was it still a sin since he won and could technically repay?

📌 Should he confess openly and face the consequences?

📌 Does the fact that he won justify the action?

📌 What would YOU do if you were in his shoes?


Let’s discuss with respect and maturity.

TOSSED AWAY




Everyday life is tossed away
Like falling stars that can not be traced
A dark cloud seems to be above man's world
Shadows walk freely among men
The sun's stolen away from life existence
Life is lost and hope hidden from every soul
Scarlet smokes sprung and overwhelm the sky
Conscience is castaway 
Man is left as scavengers to survive
Life is but short, yet dreams are far away
Can not hold a grip anymore of man's existence
As the richness of life rots

WHEN I AM WITH YOU

Why does my heart beat faster

Anytime I am with you 

Why do I always feel happier 

Whenever I am speaking with you 


It seems you have cast on me a spell

Because I am losing control of my thoughts 

Whenever I close my eyes, I picture you in my dreams

Holding my hand, sharing sweet times


As I gazed at your smile 

The night refused to walk away 

I swear, l never knew loving someone

Could be so invigorating and comforting 


If you will not mind permitting me 

I wish to uphold thoughts of you in my heart forever 

Such a priceless moment is of a lifetime

Thank you for bringing out the beauty in me
