Renowned Nollywood actor Okiki Adeshina has revealed what a pastor told him to do after his mother took him to see the cleric.
He also shared how he reacted to the pastor’s prophecy about his life at that time.
In a video shared on the official YouTube channel of Feel Right News TV on Thursday, July 17, 2025, Okiki Adeshina recounted during an interview that a pastor once prophesied he should abandon his filmmaking career and become a carpenter if he truly wanted to succeed in life. This, he said, happened after his mother took him to see the pastor.
According to Okiki Adeshina, he said, “I suffered to the extent that I couldn’t even afford transport fare to my brother’s graduation ceremony. My mother sent for me from the village, and she told me that I wasn’t getting any younger and that I should find something meaningful to do with my life. My mom took me to a pastor, and when we got there, he put a key inside the Bible, and he commanded the key to point to direct him on which profession is the best for me between film making and a carpenter job. I started crying when a pastor said I must quit film making to become a carpenter. My mom tried to encourage me to quit filmmaking, but I refused to listen to the advice because I didn’t believe what the pastor said.”
