“Ilebaye I heard that you are planning to pay N12 million as tithe that is 10 percent of what you won in the just concluded BBNaija All stars edition. My dear, don’t try it, that’s a very big financial mistake.
"I made this mistake many years ago when I was about your age. If you try it, one day you will remember that I told you this when you are a little bit more advanced in age. Many years ago when I was consistent in paying my tithe I never moved forward. I started moving forward when I stopped enriching pastors, then I started paying my government tax things began to elevate for me.
"Eventually after paying tax and your pastor wants to build a new branch you will still be the one to pay, they won’t it from your tithe. Give it to those that need it, you have and family members that are looking for the same 120m.”
