Yemi Solade Speaks Out: Work Shouldn’t Take a Backseat to Church
Veteran Nollywood actor Yemi Solade has addressed the debate on whether professionals should prioritise church attendance over work commitments on Sundays.
In an interview highlighted by The Nation, Solade recounted how, as far back as 2013, he was advised to tell producers not to schedule him for Sunday shoots. He rejected the advice, stressing that faith should not come at the expense of one’s career.
Solade argued that the entertainment industry, like many modern professions, demands flexibility, including weekends. Opportunities can be fleeting, and consistently being available is key to success. He warned that excessive religious demands can place unnecessary pressure on professionals and interfere with their financial stability.
He stated that while religion remains central in the lives of many Nigerians, it should not dictate career decisions. Church participation, he believes, should complement life—not hinder professional growth.
The actor’s perspective highlights the ongoing conversation in Nigeria about balancing faith with career responsibilities, particularly in sectors where weekend work is often unavoidable.
