“I Didn’t Want To Get Too Comfortable” – Femi Dapson On Why He Left Winners Chapel

Popular Nigerian music producer, Femi Dapson, has opened up on why he quit his well-paying job at Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel) to chase new opportunities in Lagos.

Speaking in a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Dapson revealed that he had already risen to a top position in the church despite not having a university degree.

According to him, his role placed him at the highest level of the church’s administration, where he had access to high-profile personalities including presidents, and had to dress formally to work.

But instead of settling, he became worried about getting too comfortable.

In his words:
“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.”
After relocating to Lagos, Dapson said he took up a cleaning job to survive before he spotted a job vacancy at the back of a newspaper and decided to apply.

He recalled getting to the interview venue and seeing many candidates with BSc degrees, which almost intimidated him.
“There were people with BScs there, bro. I kid you not. But when I entered there, as 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,” he said.
His confidence and experience from Winners eventually won him the role, which marked the beginning of his journey as a junior editor before his breakthrough in music production.
