Nigerian-Romanian broadcaster and radio talk show host. Ifedayo Olarinde, better known as Daddy Freeze, has spoken about his decision to stop attending church.
According to the popular On-Air-Personality, he stopped going to church after his pastor stopped him from sitting in the front row following his divorce.
The 47-year-old made this known while featuring on the latest episode of the Teju Babyface Deep Dive podcast.
Daddy Freeze during the chat said prior to his decision to leave his wife in 2014, he was a church worker and was very active in the church, but he was stopped because of his pending divorce.
He also said the pastor of the church also visited him at home and told him to stop sitting in the front row.
He went on to say after the visit, he opted to stop going to church instead of “hiding” in the back seat.

The OAP further said he also began to study the scriptures more on Sundays and his research led him to discover that most of the things Nigerian churches preach are “flawed.”
Speaking during the interview, Daddy Freeze said: “My marriage had always been troubled and in 2014 it came to an end. And I remember I used to do events in my church. The church minister used to pay me then to do events which I celebrated. At least, the pastor was not eating all the money, he was sharing with the people who were working.
“I was booked for an event that I used to do for the church, and I got a call that I should cancel it because of my divorce or pending divorce drama. And I was like, ‘Because I’m going through a divorce does that remove God from me?’ I questioned that too.
“Then the pastor came to my house and we had a conversation. He was like, ‘I’m not telling you not to come to the church but when you come to the church, sit at the back.’ And I was like what’s all this? So, that made me sit at home on Sundays. Instead of going to church and hiding, is it not better that I sit at home?
“So, sitting at home on Sundays now started feeding the holes in my brain.”
