Nollywood veteran Yemi Solade just dropped a bombshell on the Honest Bunch podcast, declaring loud and clear that his career outranks compulsory church attendance—especially when it interferes with his peace of mind or professional commitments.
Reflecting on a controversial incident back in 2013, Solade revealed how church leaders once told him to ask producers not to schedule him for work on Sundays. His reaction? He didn’t just refuse he “cursed those pastors,” insisting that no spiritual obligation should overshadow his livelihood or serenity.
He went on to challenge the idea that skipping church means inviting doom, noting that it never delivered the blessings it promised:
“If you don’t attend church once life must die, probably I’ve not seen anything change.”
Solade didn’t stop there. He slammed the myth that church attendance is the ultimate blessing conduit:
“Rather, I have peace, I do well… if you are not invited to one committee, then when will I have time to work.”
And when an artisan he paid to fix his AC skipped the job on a Sunday because of church? Solade called him out bluntly:
“You gave part of my money to that church… If the prayer is efficacious, it will come to me… but it’s my own money, my sweat.
