“I Have been betrayed by the church in the past” – Nollywood Actor Timini Reveals Why he Stopped Going to Church

Nollywood star actor Timini in a recent interview, opened up about his current connection with God and how the church had betrayed him during his participation on the program.

When asked about the inspiration behind his success in acting, he said, “For me, it’s just God. I’m not the most religious guy. I go to church Christmas, New Year, but I definitely know that it’s God because these things are things that I’ve not really said “oh this is XYZ”. Acting is something I love doing. Everytime I watch myself, I want to be better. 

And God has found a way to sha bring the right projects my way, and 12 years abi 13 years of me acting, I’ve been consistent. I don’t think there’s anybody in our generation that has been that consistent in terms of the best quality projects, cinema, Youtube, web series, and still remaining relevant and still making the business of acting look lucrative for the people coming in. I feel like I deserve flowers. It’s God.

When he was asked about his relationship with God, he said,

“I feel like me and God have a personal relationship. I’ve been betrayed by the church in the past, do you get? Like, I was a full church boy. In teenage church, I used to preach in the main church on Sundays. 

Everything you think I have now in terms of like swag and whatever, it was in church that I learn it. Christ’s Chapel. Then I went to some other churches. But I just realized that there’s a lot of pretense. And I know it’s not a reason to stop going because obviously. 

So basically you know, it’s just a thing where I was just like okay let me find this man called God on my own. And that’s what we are doing right now. There’s someone I’m seeing, or talking to, right now that introduced me to this whole Bible plan. 

I mean, sometimes I just lie to her when she asks “have you checked it this morning?”, “I checked the first page”, but like, it’s a process. In terms of like reading the Bible again and all that, I’m not really there yet but like one on one relationship with my God. Talking to him saying “how far baba? this is what I’m doing” and He’s been helping me make the best decisions so far. And it’s calm.
