Pastor Bolaji Idowu Hails Igbo Fearlessness, Says Yoruba People Held Back by Fear A Lagos-based pastor, Bolaji Idowu, has stirred public conversation following a bold statement he made during a recent sermon, where he identified “fear” as the major challenge affecting the Yoruba ethnic group in Nigeria. While addressing his congregation, Pastor Idowu declared, “There is a problem with the Yoruba race… and it is called fear. Even the ones that are 48 years old still battle with it.” He emphasized that fear inhibits progress and that courage is essential for success in life. According to him, “Life bows to the courageous and works against the fearful.” He contrasted the Yoruba with the Igbo ethnic group, whom he praised for their boldness and global entrepreneurial presence. https://naija24news.com/2025/06/29/pastor-bolaji-idowu-hails-igbo-fearlessness-says-yoruba-people-held-back-by-fear/
