A Nigerian woman has raised eyebrows online after accusing a church of selling a single cherry to her mother for ₦1,000 under the claim that it was the “fruit of life.”
The incident came to light through a viral TikTok video, where the young lady expressed frustration after her mother returned home from a church service with the small fruit in hand. According to her, the fruit was purchased during the gathering, and it was presented by the church as something spiritually significant.
Visibly upset, the woman questioned the church’s actions, calling attention to what she believes is exploitation masked as faith. She shared the video to highlight her disbelief over the steep price and the reasoning behind the purchase, pointing to what she sees as a deeper issue with how some religious institutions operate.
Her video has since attracted a wave of responses from the public. While some supported her criticism of the church’s alleged tactics, others saw the situation as a matter of personal belief.
The incident has reopened conversations around religious practices in Nigeria, especially regarding the commercialization of faith and the emotional influence of churches on their members.
