As reactions continue to pour in, Pastor Idowu has yet to issue any clarification or apology.
A Lagos-based cleric, Pastor Bolaji Idowu, has ignited a flurry of public debate following remarks in which he claimed that fear is the root problem of the Yoruba race.
Speaking during a sermon at his church, Idowu described fear as a crippling trait that has held many Yoruba people back from achieving greatness.
“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,” the pastor declared during his message.
Pastor Idowu drew a contrast with the Igbo ethnic group, commending them for what he described as their fearlessness and global presence.
