‘There is a problem with the Yoruba race and it is called fear’ – Lagos popular pastor, Bolaji Idowu claims

A popular Lagos pastor, Bolaji Idowu of Harvesters International Christian Centre, has alleged that Yorubas are fearful and that this is a major problem for the tribe.

Preaching in his church, Pastor Idowu said,

“There is a problem with the Yoruba race. Even the ones that are 48 years old. There is a problem with your race, and it is called fear. Life bows for the courageous. Life works against the fearful.

That is why I love the Igbos. They are fearless. There is no country in this world you will not see an Igbo man there. Nobody can do anything significant in life because of fear. One of the reasons people never emerge or go forward is because of fear and fear will lead to self-doubt. You would begin to doubt yourself.

I am saying it to you now because when you are young, you can conquer it.”
