Church member responds after pastor questions her education
Anyim Vera, a member of Dunamis International Gospel Centre in Abuja, Nigeria, recently shared a testimony about being the first graduate in her family.
During her speech, she mentioned obtaining a law degree from the National Open University.
However, Pastor Paul Eneche interrupted her, pointing out there’s no such thing as a “BSc in Law” (the degree Vera mistakenly used). Vera has since taken to Facebook to clarify that it was simply a slip-up due to her limited English proficiency.
She confirmed graduating with a Law degree (LLB) from NOUN. Vera expressed disappointment at being publicly called out by her spiritual leader, especially since evidence of her education exists (referencing her graduation rank).
She wrote: “It’s disheartening because I couldn’t speak English like lawyers. I was labelled a liar for mistakenly saying B.Sc instead of LLB. Actually, I graduated with a Third Class at NOUN.”
“I am no. 2262 on the graduation list. I, Vera, deserve better now.” Social media posts from Vera suggest she is a police officer.
“The rejected stone can become the cornerstone. We’re reminded not to look down on anyone. You can’t imagine what I endured throughout the service. How shattered I must have felt to be disgraced by my spiritual leader in such a manner?”
I felt her pain truly, embarrassment of the highest order. Forgive and forget
Very embarrassing!! felt for her too 🙁
To err is humane, never put your trust on a man, pastors included. Human beings can fail you but God cannot that was why he sent his only lovely son to come and died to redeeemed us from our sins and begothen us to himself. Thank you, O Lord for accepting us as we are.
Most Nigerians worship their pastors.
