Nigerian videographer Femi Dapson has spoken up regarding his decision to quit his role at Winners’ chapel during the early stage of his videography career.
The media personality, while speaking during a podcast interview with Chude Jideonwo, explained that he believed he had attained a high level while working at the church but decided to leave because he feared becoming too comfortable.
“I had to leave Winners, honestly, because I was like, if I stay here, I’ll get too comfortable. At the time I was CEO level. I was already working at the highest level of church. No uni degree. I was wearing ties. I was meeting with presidents. I was like Omo, don’t get carried away. You need to go and make money. And then I left. I came to Lagos,” he said.
Dapson also noted that after quitting the job, his confidence and previous experience helped him convince the employers and that was how his journey began as a junior editor.
“And when I got to Lagos, I did a cleaning job for a bit. And I just saw a job opportunity from a newspaper actually. A back of a newspaper. And I just said, let me just apply. There were people with BSc there, bro. I kid you not. There were people with BSc. And I was there in the interview. I was like, Omo, this crazy. But when I entered there, like I said, I know how to make mouth. So I sold them dreams, and they were so excited. I was telling them that see, I will make your life easy. This is what I was doing in Winners. Visiting entry. And they were so happy about it,” he added.
