Femi Dapson discusses leaving senior role at Winners’ Church

Music video director Femi Dapson has shared the details of his decision to leave a high-level position at Living Faith Church (Winners’ Church) to pursue new opportunities in Lagos.

In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Dapson explained that despite holding a senior, CEO-level role that allowed him to interact with high-profile figures and political leaders, he feared becoming too comfortable. He stated, “I had to leave Winners, honestly, because I was like, if I stay here, I’ll get too comfortable.”

After relocating to Lagos, Dapson initially struggled to find work in his field and took a job as a cleaner to support himself. He eventually secured a role in the media industry by applying for a junior editing position. Despite lacking a university degree and competing against candidates with academic qualifications, he noted that his confidence and ability to communicate his value helped him succeed in the interview.
