Pastor enters betting centre to preach to youths

There was a mild drama as a cleric was spotted in a clip preaching against betting right inside a gaming centre.

The footage sighted on Instagram showed the pastor praying for the boys after he had tried to convince them that such an act like betting is not the best.

While the pastor prayed, the youths continued with the activities and responded with “amen” repeatedly.

The preacher was reportedly heard telling them to consider the judgment day and what account they will give to God about the life led on earth.

Oliseh tips Chelsea to win Premier League

Legit.ng earlier reported that former Super Eagles captain Sunday Oliseh has identified Erling Haaland as the only player who can help Manchester United win the Premier League title for the first time since 2013.

However, they have made a few key signings this transfer window, with Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane joining them from Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid respectively, but Oliseh believes Chelsea will win the title.
