Music producer Femi Dapson has opened up about quitting his luxury job at Winners’ Church.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, he opened up about the early stage of his career, recalling how he left a lucrative position at Winners’ Church and moved to Lagos to pursue greener pastures.
Dapson said he was at a high level at the church, but left because he didn’t want to get too comfortable. He said his job offered him the opportunity to meet presidents and wear ties.
Despite the luxury, Femi said he told himself not to get carried away and make money of his own. The music producer said he first took up a cleaning job before applying for another opportunity.
“I had to leave Winners, honestly, because I was like, if I stay here, I’ll get too comfortable. At the time, I was CEO level. I was already working at the highest level of church—no uni degree.
I was wearing ties. I was meeting with presidents. I was like, Omo, don’t get carried away. You need to go and make money. And then I left. I came to Lagos.
And when I got to Lagos, I did a cleaning job for a bit. And I saw a job opportunity in a newspaper, actually on the back of a newspaper. And I just said Let me just apply”.
Dapson said he was taken aback to meet degree holders at the interview. He said his confidence and previous experience helped him convince the employers, and that was how his journey as a junior editor began.
“There were people with BScs there, bro. I kid you not. There were people with BScs. And I was there in the interview. I was like, Omo, this is crázy.
But when I entered there, as I said, I know how to make mouth. So I sold them dreams, and they were so excited. I was telling them that, see, I will make your life easy. This is what I was doing in Winners. Visiting entry. And they were so happy about it”.
