“Because I was extremely busy at work and would not argue with my mom-in-law, I paid the fee they requested, N55k I think for the 'ise' (prayer). After a month or so, I went to see wifey and she wasn't getting any better, so decided to move her to the general hospital and then she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
“In about five months I spent more than N1.3m treating baby but it was too late. Guess what baby still died leaving me a widower at just 27 with my beautiful young kids. All my savings gone because that one month she spent in church would probably have saved her life if we hadn't spent it in church. (I) lost my job as well because her death broke me and I couldn't concentrate, almost killed myself.
“Since February last year, I haven't stepped foot in any church but we thank God. Yes I believe in God but sincerely the church of God in Nigeria isn't it. This is my story.”
Meanwhile, Nigerians have reacted to his story, with many people asking Christians not to seek the face of God through any prophet or pastor.

Hosea 4v6, my people perish for lack of knowledge.. When you refused to have personal relationship with God, you will be easily swept away by minor winds.... When you are given a message (prophecy) your personal encounter with God shall sure reveal the truth to you. May God help us all."
