Pastor Bolaji Idowu shares why it is wrong to lend money to friends, claiming it is the easiest way to lose a friendship.
The lead pastor of Harvesters International Church shared this in a program titled, Filling Financial Gaps.
He believes that it is wrong to lend other people your savings, especially when they were not disciplined enough to manage theirs.
The man of God explains that he never lends out money to others, choosing only to give them what he can spare without demanding it back.
According to him, many people who borrow know how to play victim and resort to emotional manipulation when it is time to return the money.
