The Young God Rodney Omeokachie

"I’m churchless, not Godless. There’s a difference. That most Nigerian Christians can’t see this in 2024 is quite telling." - Rodney

Rodney is not a churchgoer but in this episode, he takes Nigerian Christians to church in defense of Christians who don't go to church. He holds them accountable for being judgemental of non-churchgoers, prioritizing church over charity, and pedestalizing pastors, among other things. He lists the things he appreciates and dislikes about the Nigerian Church.

Rodney gives reasons for not attending church while shedding light on his philosophical approach to faith and worship. He also shares a cool story about the first and only time he attended Sunday Service at Koinonia out of curiosity.

"You don’t always need a competitive spirit but you should have skills... knowledge... that gives you an edge."


Rodney continues by himself where the previous episode left off. He asks those who deny their competitiveness: Are you naturally non-competitive, or did you LEARN to be non-competitive? In this episode, he debunks myths about competition that have infiltrated our culture; and he makes observations of people's general attitude to competition, their lack of competitive fire, and the reasons for this.
This epsiode will challenge your biases about competition, collaboration, and ambition. It will also bring out the ethical competitor in you.

FEATURING Lil Wayne, Katt Williams, and Kanye West.
