Pastor Bolaji Idowu told his audience to avoid the temptation to help their friends or family by giving them money and expecting them to pay it back.
Pastor Bolaji said those who borrow money would most likely not pay it back, and they would end up blackmailing the person who lent them money.
According to him, what he does is give people what he can afford for free instead of calling it a loan because he knows the money won’t come back.
His words:
“A wise man once said, “Only borrow what you can afford to let go off!”
