Some people fail to plan and things that they are supposed to do very early in life, they start doing it at the late hours. According to Church Gist, the cleric spoke against those who reduce their ages just to get and enjoy some benefits. He advised them against it and claimed that he never changed or reduced his age. He said that most people tell him that he is older than them and he looks at them and doubts. "But I know my correct age, I didn't reduce my age, this is my correct age. Whatever age I am showing you is my correct age. But I know people who are older than me that are my mates, some are even my Junior. Now, even if you reduce your age, don't you know your exact age. So, plan your life," he said. He said that most Nigerian footballers will reduce their age and when they say that they are 32, they can't r...
