Popular content creator Shinku Tersoo was recently recognized by Pastor Richard Abomtse for his creative work—an unexpected gesture that has since sparked admiration across social media.
According to screenshots shared online, Pastor Richard reached out to Shinku in the early hours of the day, praising a skit the creator had posted which humorously yet respectfully portrayed the biblical story of Christ and the two thieves. The skit, which resonated deeply with many viewers, clearly left an impression on the respected pastor.
Not only did Pastor Richard commend Shinku for showcasing Jesus through creativity, but he also followed his words with action—by sending a N50,000 gift as a token of appreciation for Shinku’s talent and message.
Shinku, visibly moved by the gesture, expressed his gratitude in a post that quickly went viral. “It’s not about the money,” he wrote, “it’s the intention and the principle behind it. Mo kpa or nan nam kwagh hen Benue. Thank you so much, Pastor Richard Abomtse, for this show of kindness.”
The gesture has been widely celebrated online, especially within the Benue creative community, as an example of what happens when homegrown talent is acknowledged and uplifted by its own people.
Shinku’s story is a reminder that sometimes, all it takes is one person to say, “I see you”—and mean it.
