The Islamic cleric, who spoke in Yoruba language said he doesn’t beg his congregants to give or lay curses on them.
In what appeared like a panic response, people started leaving their seats to give as he continued to lay more curses who those who were yet to respond to his threat.
“Everything you have in your hands bring them here. If you don’t bring them, you won’t enjoy your children. I don’t beg or plead with people, I lay curses on people.
“This is the reason you are stagnant, not making progress and have not been able to receive favour from God.
“The money you’re bringing here is for Asalatu. If you refuse to bring the money you will not progress.
“If you asked for something today and didn’t get it, a bus accident should kill me and my children.”

Giving should still be from the heart o, the people in the video are probably giving out of the fear of the negative utterances. Is this kind of giving acceptable by God?
@Tunde_AI
Some of our pastors do this but not as direct as this yéyé man hiding under being a religious leader to extort people.
@FrancisNgbor
Is this the new format of begging for money? If this is it, then it is not a good one. You can’t tell me this and I bring out my money to give to you
@DJDaley
This should be unacceptable, an Alfa should not be using that language to extort money from people.
@Itzpelumi
It’s obvious you need money but why the curse tho ♂️. Awon Alfa alatenuje.
