BBNaija’s Doyin: How my dad’s death made me stop going to church

Doyin David, the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) All-Stars housemate, says she stopped going to church after her father passed away.

In a pre-recorded interview on the WithChude podcast, Doyin said she used to be “a spiritual child” but her father’s demise made her conclude that “God is very wicked”.

The 27-year-old medical doctor said “I left God alone” and stopped going to church.

“When I lost my dad, I wanted to take some time to think but I just realized that the more I thought about it, the more painful it was,” she said.

“It is easier for me to say ‘it is what it is, God does not care and let me move on without him’. In my head, at the time, we were a perfectly good family.

“And I am like nothing bad can happen to us. So when it happened, I was just like God is very wicked. Why Me?

“So I felt like there is no way there is God. At the time, I was a very spiritual child. I was the child who would always pray. My family always had a morning devotion.

“I was like if I am doing all these things and my dad can still die, let me just keep it moving and whatever happens I will chest it.

“I think I left God alone to an extent because I stopped going to church. I have not been to church in a long time.”

Doyin is a housemate in the ongoing BBNaija reality show.
