Nigerian pastor vomits money during a church service

If we believed everything we saw on social media, we’d soon be thinking that Nigerian pastors are able to vomit up cash. If you find you need a quick buck, you’d better hope Andrew Ejimadu is around and feeling queasy.

A video that has been doing the rounds over the past few days shows an alleged man of God wowing a South African congregation with his ability to vomit South African banknotes into an apparently empty handbag.

Although it’s obviously a trick (and not even performed particularly well, since the clip appears to show the pastor putting something into the previously empty bag before it turns out to be full of cash, the congregation seems largely impressed by the “miracle”.

News websites in Nigeria have identified the pastor in question as Prophet Andrew Ejimadu. Ejimadu is currently said to be based in South Africa, and may even be doing quite well (although frankly, we think he could have at least vomited up a bit more money – the probable explanation for why was because he ended up giving the “vomit cash” away to the faithful).

On his Facebook page, Ejimadu reportedly wrote [sic all]: “5000 people will receive Miracle MONEY this night. Last Sunday as i was preaching at the church here in Limpopo, I came across a lady and I saw how so desperately she needed money. I said mama, stand up, she stood. I asked her, how much do you have in your handbag? She replied 1 Rand 50 cent. I said empty your handbag, she did, I took the handbag to the congregation and asked them to verify if indeed there was no money inside the handbag. The congregation verified that there was not even a cent in the bag. I took the empty bag, I prayed and asked God to fill it up with money and all of a sudden, money started coming out from my mouth. The congregation was shocked beyond reasoning watching me vomit notes of Rands into the empty bag. This is not the first time I vomited money but the people in Limpopo was seeing it for the first time.

“Because of fears and shocks in their eyes, I called on a banker present at the service to come and verify if what I vomited was fake or real notes. The lady confirmed that the notes were real and we distributed the notes to the congregation. Many people say it’s magic while others are saying it’s not real. I have not even started performing miracles on earth, very soon, I will show the world all the signs written in the Bible before the coming of Jesus.

“Miracles that will drop our jaws will happen like waters. But while you are busy arguing and doubting whether MIRACLE MONEY is real or not, 5000 people will receive Miracle MONEY in there handbags and wallets this night.
