In a viral tweet, @daniels_osi said he was devoted and lived in a church house during his NYSC. He said he cleaned the church every Saturday, counted offerings and helped out with other things.
After his NYSC, @daniels_osi said he approached his Catholic priest to use his connections to recommend him for a job and what he got was a job that paid N15k. This made him turn his back on the church. He wrote:

“They’re in that position to help you grow. You don’t know it because you all love toxic relationships!”
