Comedian Woli Arole advises caution when helping others, sharing a personal experience where he was scammed
He met someone on a prayer mountain who claimed to need money for a travel ticket, having already secured a visa.
Arole provided the funds, but the individual used the money for something else.
When Arole encountered the person later, he hadn’t traveled as promised.
He wrote:
”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”
