According to the renowned man of God, students are jeopardising their future by betting on sports.
He spoke about how he used to bet on horse racing when he was younger before entreating students to rather engage in activities that will draw them closer to God and the church.
“...When I was younger, I used to go to the horse races... and you’d see them coming, sometimes fifteen of them and those of us who were betting, you choose one and you bet on that one. I hear students have been betting? Look, If you want to be poor, continue betting.
