Offerings had been down steadily for the past several Sundays and the pastor/overseer decided he had to do something to change the trend.

The next Sunday, as the plate was being passed he said,

"Brothers and Sisters, I don't like to have to do this, but there is a man in the congregation who is having an affair with another parishioner's wife, and if there is not at least two hundred naira in the collection, I will reveal his name."

Later, as he counted the money, he found 21 two hundred naira bills, and a fifty naira bill with a note that read:

"Forever hold your peace pastor, I'll have that other one hundred and fifty naira before sundown."
