A recent sermon at Dunamis International Gospel Centre in Abuja took a turn wilder than a holy roller derby when Pastor Paul Enenche publicly questioned the academic credentials of a church member. Sister Veronica Anyim, brimming with post-graduation fervor, declared she’d snagged a “BSc in Law” from the prestigious National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN).
Pastor Enenche, apparently no stranger to a good courtroom drama himself, slammed the brakes on her testimony faster than you can say “Objection!” He politely (or maybe not so politely) pointed out that while Sister Anyim’s faith might be strong, her grasp of legalese seemed a tad wobbly. “Sister,” boomed the pastor, “there’s no such thing as a BSc in Law. Perhaps you’ve enrolled in a heavenly course – a ‘Bachelor of Sainthood in Counsels from the Almighty?'”
Some parishioners erupted in holy laughter, picturing angels in powdered wigs debating the merits of divine intervention. Others, clutching their metaphorical pearls, whispered about the dangers of spreading misinformation (even if it was about heavenly degrees).
Sister Anyim, caught in the crossfire of celestial jurisprudence, stammered a confused defense. Did NOUN offer a special “Law-Light” program for the spiritually inclined? Was there a heavenly add-on pack that transformed a regular degree into a divinely endorsed one?
Pastor Enenche, ever the diplomat (or maybe just trying to avoid a celestial lawsuit), later clarified that he meant no disrespect. He simply wanted to ensure factual accuracy, even in matters of testimony.
So, will Sister Anyim get her heavenly law degree or is she destined for the eternal paralegal program? Only time (and perhaps a divine intervention) will tell. But one thing’s for sure: this church service will forever be remembered as the day a “BSc in Law” almost broke the internet.

Pastor Paul Enenche cut short this lady's testimony and called it a lie when she said she got a BSc in Law.
He said he suspected she was lying from the way she spoke English.
Apparently, it has turned out that the lady wasn't lying afterwards.
She has a LLB in Law, but stage… pic.twitter.com/fI2UJ3u3lk

Pastor Paul Enenche is arrogant and lacks humility. He should be ashamed of himself. pic.twitter.com/MqJw1B5XYH

About Pastor Paul Enenche & The Testimony:
What you guys don’t know is that Pastor Enenche has seen an abuse of testimonies on his church altar. People hustle to give testimony and lie about being widowed, hoping to get a job from the pastor. If you watch the testimony sessions…

Pastor Paul Enenche should bring out the lady during a church service and tender a public apology to her.
Not everyone is eloquent in front of crowd.
Stage fright have a negative impact on individual’s performance.

I think Pastor Paul Enenche needs to bring this lady out in his congregation and apologize to her in the same way he rebuked her publicly.
Chai, Imagine! So the Vera Anyim is even a police officer sef. She obviously did the law program to develop herself further on her job. pic.twitter.com/AzTbPi0yuw
