Do you have expectations? Where do you want to be in five
years?
I have surpassed where I had planned five years back.
Everything na God hand e dey. I want to be able to employ labour. I want to
help people. I thought about this the other day. I didn’t know you would ask
me. I want to make enough money to increase my tithe. Because some few weeks
back I met somebody that advised me to (pay my tithe). When I did the tithing
thing, I felt so cool. I was like “Man, this feels good!” I am not that person
that will broadcast what I do for God. I believe in that part of the Bible that
says, “Don’t let your right know what your left hand is doing.” I am not
against those who broadcast the philanthropy or aids.
Do you mean you too pay tithes to the church?
Yes, I think it is a good thing. In fact, if there is a way
one can reach an understanding with the church to help people in any way, one
should do it. It really feels good. I am happy to do it every time. Where I
worship, the money is not for the pastor or to some people. It belongs to the
church and you will see what it is being used for. I don’t like when pastors
live in affluence, while members live in poverty. I believe in empowerment
projects for the youth and those who are poor in the church. I would give my
tithe to a church that caters for its members. Funny enough, if I tell you the
person that really encouraged me to give my tithe, you wouldn’t believe it.
Who encouraged you to pay tithe?
It was Timaya. I know you will be stunned. A few weeks ago,
I was in Business Class together with Timaya. We were chatting when he said
that people do not understand why God blesses him. He said, he doesn’t miss
paying his tithe.
You mean Timaya encouraged you to pay tithe?
Yes. Let me put it this way. It was not that I wasn’t paying
before, but he encouraged me to give more. People wouldn’t believe it. If you
can get behind people’s outer personae, you will see the real person. Timaya is
really a good guy. In answer to your question, I want to make enough money to
increase my tithes.
