Veteran Yoruba Nollywood actor Ladi Folarin has opened up about a past decision he now deeply regrets, revealing how it affected both his business and personal reflection on faith. In an interview with FeelRightNews TV, the actor recounted an experience from the time he managed a tea company, where a conflict arose between workplace expectations and an employee’s religious commitment.

According to Folarin, he had employed a staff member who was a devoted member of Deeper Life Church. The employee maintained a consistent routine of leaving work every day at 6 p.m. to attend church services. While this practice was important to the worker, it frequently clashed with the demands of the business, especially during periods when supplies needed urgent attention.

Folarin admitted that the situation became increasingly frustrating for him. Eventually, his dissatisfaction reached a breaking point, prompting him to confront the employee with a strict ultimatum. He demanded that the worker either stop attending church services during work hours or face termination. Rather than compromise his religious beliefs, the employee chose to resign. Folarin then proceeded to dismiss him.

Not long after this incident, Folarin’s tea business began to decline and ultimately collapsed. Reflecting on the sequence of events, the actor expressed a sense of remorse, stating that he now believes his actions contributed to the downfall of the company. He explained that, in hindsight, he viewed his ultimatum as a challenge to the employee’s faith and, by extension, a challenge to God.

His words; “When I was running my tea company, I employed a staff member who was a member of Deeper Life Church. Every day by 6 pm, he would leave the work we were doing and tell me that he wanted to go to church. Most of the time, we usually had supplies to handle, so I got angry one day and told him that he either stopped going to that church or I would sack him. He then accepted to quit the job, so I fired him. Shortly after that, my business crumbled. Later, I realized that I had challenged God by telling the guy to choose between my work and God.”

Thank You Jesus,

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life.
