Woman Narrates How She Gave Up Foreign Scholarships Because A Nigerian Pastor Told Her It’s Not God’s Will

A Twitter user, identified as Bettyaana, said she got a scholarship to study at Warwick but she rejected the offer after her Nigerian pastor told her it’s not the “will of God”.

She added that she later got another scholarship into Russell in London and the same pastor told her to drop out and she did.

She finally left the church a few years ago and went back to school to complete her degree.

She wrote “All this results day tins is giving me PTSD to the time my pastor made me decline my scholarship to Warwick for the ‘will of God’

“Don’t think I’ll ever get over that.

“POTTERS HOUSE I would call the pastors name but let me rest

“I still got into a Russell in London through clearing they transferred my scholarship over. Eventually, my pastor told me to drop out- I did.

“I ‘left’ the church a few years later and went back to finish my degree.”
