Paul Enenche, lead pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre (DIGC), has faced fire on social media for accusing a member of spreading “fake testimony“.
On Sunday, Vera Anyim, the first graduate in her family, shared her story with the audience.
Anyim stated that despite the difficulties, God enabled her to graduate with a “Law degree from the National Open University Of Nigeria (NOUN)”.
Enenche, on the other hand, enquired about the type of “Law degree” to which the lady replied “BSc in Law”.
The clergyman promptly pointed out that a “BSc in law” does not exist, calling her evidence into question.
The widely disseminated video has also resulted in a chorus of censure for Enenche.
Vera’s Facebook post celebrating her convocation as a NOUN student went viral.
“And that happened yesterday, Saturday, April 13, 2024, at the National Open University in Abuja. Father, I’d like to thank you for allowing me to graduate from my law program. Congratulations to me once more. In honor of my birthday in April, there will be two celebrations. You’re too faithful to let me down. Friends join me and thank him for everything he has done for me,” she wrote on Saturday, the eve of the testimony.
Vera’s name was found on the NOUN graduation list (number 2262).
While several Nigerians on X demanded an apology from Enenche, others claimed that he shouldn’t have “embarrassed” her in front of the roughly 100,000-person church.
Here are a few reactions:
It's imperative for Pastor Paul Enenche to extend a public apology to the woman who faced undue criticism for her English proficiency, despite her dedicated six years of effort in earning her degree from the National Open University (NOUN). pic.twitter.com/x2h4yrz4W5

Pastor Enenche’s apology should be as loud as the disrespect sha.

The woman was right & he deserves public apology Pastor Enenche
There is Bsc in Law and there is Bachelor of Laws ( LLB).
Google would have help the Pastor to know there is something like Bsc in Law but I TOO KNOW won’t allow them visit Google.
She truly graduated from NOUN pic.twitter.com/HPE0crNIjW

The only thing Pastor Paul Enenche needs to do to that woman is apologise and it should be profuse!
All the excuse of “it’s not the Pastor’s fault, the woman should have been able to articulate the name of her degree” is lame!
Ye all should stop acting like Christianity is a…

When will Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis Church International apologize to this woman for embarrassing her?
Apparently, she actually graduated from the National Open University, NOUN, with a degree in Law.
Either she had a stage fright during the testimony, or the educational… pic.twitter.com/habtyQ2ZKl

Pastor Paul Enenche needs to apologize to that woman because she doesn't speak English properly and made a couple of mistakes. He invalidated over six years of her struggle to get that degree at the National Open University (NOUN).
