Pastor Bolaji Idowu Says Fear Is The Major Problem Of The Yoruba Race

Popular Lagos pastor, Bolaji Idowu, has stirred conversation with a bold statement about the Yoruba people, claiming that fear is the primary challenge holding them back.

While preaching at his church recently, the clergyman said, “There is a problem with the Yoruba race. Even those who are 48 years old still battle it. The problem is fear. Life bows to the courageous but works against the fearful.”

He went on to praise the Igbo people for their boldness, saying, “That’s why I love the Igbos — they are fearless. There is no country in the world where you won’t find an Igbo man. No one can achieve anything significant in life if they are ruled by fear.”

Expanding on his point, Pastor Idowu added, “Fear leads to self-doubt. You begin to question your abilities. One of the reasons people don’t move forward or emerge is because of fear. I’m telling you this now because when you’re young, you still have the power to conquer it.”
