Woli Arole
Nigerian comedian, Woli Arole has warned people to be extremely cautious when helping people in need.
He gave the advice after he was ripped off by someone he met on a prayer mountain who claimed he had his travel documents but only needed some money to buy his ticket.
Arole said he gave the money but that the person ended up using the money for something else.
In his words;
''If you in the act of helping people, be careful how you help. Be led when you want to help. I finished a programme on the mountain one day and a guy came to meet me ‘’Woli I have my Visa, na travelling remain. You were the one who prayed for me. Your prayer dey work''Na trip remain. I don gather small money. I need like N200k.
We love to help and so we gave this boy some money. He said ‘’Baba I am travelling. I am going tomorrow night'. A week later, we had another programme in Ibadan and decided to sit at an Amala joint. There we saw this same guy eating goat meat''
Arole said he accosted the guy and asked him why he hadn’t travelled and he couldn't come up with a reasonable answer.
He stated that so many people have scammed him by claiming to need money to solve a pressing need.
