“Who Is Your Guy” crooner Oludipe Oluwasanmi David a.k.a Spyro, said that as a youth he was made to abide strictly to the tenants of Christianity by his Pastor dad.
Spyro who was speaking during a chat on Chude Jideonwo podcast revealed that he had a difficult up bringing due to his dad’s calling.
“My dad is a pastor and it was difficult growing up with a pastor,” Spyro said
“You’re going to have to be in church whether or not you want to be in church, you must love God by force. He made us study the Bible from cover to cover, whether we like it or not.
“The annoying thing was the morning devotion; it was when sleep was getting deeper that they would wake you up for morning devotion. What the thing does is that it makes you hate God instead of loving him because it’d be like, ‘This God wey wan ruin my life’.
However, he was thankful for the values his parents implanted in him.
“It was crazy, trust me it was a crazy experience. When I got into university, I saw it as my freedom, and I never returned home for about four years. I was like, ‘Thank you Jesus for this open door,’ you know? I was waiting for it, and I took it, then I didn’t even turn back.
“The good thing about having pastor parents is that even though I don’t like the approach and everything, that fear of God is still in me. So all through my university, I was saved, I didn’t do it for my parents; I just had the fear of God. “That has worked for me until now, to this date, I don’t smoke drink or carry women. All that attests to the fear of God because my dad and mum aren’t here but God is seeing me,” he explained.
