In an interview with HipTV, the actor-director spoke about how spirituality drives him to do the work he does.

Afolayan described himself as “not religious” and said he believes in building a “personal relationship with God”.

“The thing is that I don’t go to church; I don’t go to the mosque. I don’t go anywhere. I’m not religious but I believe in God. I tie most of the things I do to God. I have a personal relationship with God,” the filmmaker said.

“All you need to do is discover what works for you. What works for me is not to have an intermediary between me and God. I’ve been blessed enough to have a one-on-one relationship. And it has worked so far.

That’s why I tie everything to God. Most things I do now, I saw coming. It was just for me to work towards it.”

Earlier in March, Kunle Afolayan talked about his childhood and how his late father’s choice of 10 wives took a toll on him.

In a chat with BBC Pidgin, Afolayan reflected on his growing up in a polygamous family and foray into filmmaking.

The 45-year-old said Adeyemi Afolayan, his late father, was also a renowned filmmaker during his days before he passed away in 1996 got “distracted” by his knack for philandering.

The filmmaker said he cannot marry many wives, having witnessed what happened to his father. He also revealed that his late father gave birth to 25 children, adding that they struggled to bond in their early days due to language and other barriers.

“I would not want to marry many wives because my father had 10 wives and I knew what happened throughout that period. I knew that really distracted my father. In this age, nobody needs to tell you before you know what’s right.” He said.

Afolayan has, over the years, made several Nollywood films including “The Figurine”, “Phone Swap” and “Citation”.
