Nigerian singer David Adeleke, aka Davido, has reflected on the spiritual lessons his dad, Adedeji Adeleke taught him.
The singer said in the face of multiple challenges, he draws his strength from the lessons of Adedeji about having faith in God.
Davido also revealed that his father taught him never to question God.
“My dad is very successful, but he’s an elder in the church. I grew up as a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. I attended a Christian college.
“I overcame a lot of challenges because of my dad. Initially, I did not understand, but now I’ve come to the realization. I was angry. Sometimes, I was like, ‘Why do bad things happen to good people?’ And my dad told me that you can’t question God.
“I was like, ‘What do you mean you can’t question God?’ And then a year later [after the death of my son, Ifeanyi], we had twins, the biggest album of my career came, and my first Grammy nominations came. Then it started to make sense. People go through different challenges, but just know that God has your back,” he said.
