According to Nwachukwu, “Make sure that they are actually fasting or that they tell the poor people to pray and fast and they go and drink champagne and enjoying themselves.

“Imo people should not allow anybody to deceive them again. Just try and know if they are fasting. If people are fasting you should be able to know that they are fasting.”
