Prophet Ebuka Obi made headlines today after announcing that ₦100 million would be shared among all attendees at his program held in Enugu a gesture that has since ignited a fierce conversation online.
While many acknowledged the generosity of the act, social media users were quick to weigh in with sharp and divided reactions.
One commenter did the math and was skeptical, pointing out that if the crowd was as large as reported, no single attendee would likely walk away with up to ₦2,000 from the ₦100 million—questioning whether the gesture would be as impactful as it appeared.
Another was more direct, describing the behaviour as deeply troubling, repeating for emphasis that something was “very, very wrong” with the approach.
A more measured voice offered an alternative perspective, acknowledging that the intention behind the gesture was commendable but arguing that the method was flawed.
The commenter suggested that a more structured and sustainable approach such as: paying school fees, settling rent, or setting up businesses for members would create lasting impact. Dunamis Church was cited as an example of a faith organisation already running such a model.
Perhaps the most pointed comment came from someone who questioned the bigger picture entirely, asking whether cash giveaways at religious programs were truly a solution to the problem of bad governance.
