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.
