The daughter of Dunamis International Gospel Centre’s Senior Pastor, Paul Enenche, has found herself in the middle of a social media storm. On September 7, 2025, Destiny Enenche took to her Instagram and X pages to clear the air after critics accused her of flaunting a designer bag allegedly bought with church offerings.
The young Enenche, who has steadily built her own following online, didn’t mince words. In a short video that quickly went viral, she branded the accusations “ignorant” and “misguided.” According to her, the luxury purse was not purchased with tithe or offering money, but rather gifted to her, just like many other items she owns. She emphasized that “99% of the things I wear are gifts,” a statement that has since been quoted across entertainment blogs and gossip platforms.
Her response came after a trending post by a social media user who claimed the extravagant bag was proof of misuse of church funds. Within hours, hashtags like #DestinyEnenche, #PaulEnenche, and #churchoffering climbed up Nigerian Twitter trends. Many internet users began asking questions such as “Did Pastor Enenche’s daughter really buy her bag with offering money?” and “Is the Enenche family using church money for luxury?”
But Destiny was quick to push back on those narratives. In her video, she explained that both her parents, Paul and Becky Enenche, are established medical doctors who do not depend on offerings for personal income. She stressed that her father has never collected a salary from the church and that her family is not living off congregation money. “The bag was a gift,” she repeated, a line that has since dominated headlines.
The gossip fire didn’t end there. On TikTok, clips of Destiny’s video were reposted by several influencer accounts, sparking heated debates in the comments. Some supported her, insisting pastors’ children deserve to enjoy gifts and blessings. Others remained skeptical, with questions like “Why always luxury bags?” and “Why now, when pastors are under scrutiny?”
The fact that the rebuttal landed on a Sunday, the very day church services were being held, added more spice to the conversation. By Monday, September 8, blogs like LindaIkeji, Gistlover, and JustNaija had picked up the story, turning what began as a simple accusation into one of the most discussed gossip scandals of the week.
Search engines quickly lit up with queries such as “Destiny Enenche bag,” “Paul Enenche daughter gift,” “church money scandal Nigeria,” and “pastor daughter designer bag.” This shows just how much the Nigerian public is drawn to stories that mix faith, luxury, and controversy.
While Destiny’s statement may have cooled some of the fire, the gossip remains alive. The incident raises bigger questions about how public figures connected to megachurches are perceived, especially when it comes to wealth and luxury. Nigerians are highly sensitive to issues involving offerings and tithes, and any hint of misuse often spirals into scandal.
For now, Destiny Enenche insists her conscience is clear. Her bold rebuttal could either silence her critics or keep her in the spotlight for weeks to come. In the ever-watchful world of Nigerian gossip and entertainment news, this clash between faith, luxury fashion, and social media outrage is unlikely to be forgotten anytime soon.
