“I stopped being religious after making money” – Omah Lay

Nigerian singer Stanley Omah Didia, better known as Omah Lay, has revealed that he stopped being blatantly religious after becoming wealthy.

The Afropop artist claimed that although he attended church frequently and was raised in a Christian environment, his upbringing had completely altered by the time he became famous.

Omah Lay declared that he no longer cares about religion and has chosen to concentrate on mankind in a recent interview with media personality Wunmi Bello.

He also disclosed that, despite coming from a Christian household, he had considered becoming an Islamist at one time.

The “Soso” crooner stated that although the lessons in the Holy Books seem genuine, he still doubts their accuracy

and believes in God.

Omah Lay said,

“As soon as I made money, I just switched; I just believed in God and became more human than religious. I don’t just enjoy religion anymore.

I grew up in a Christian home. I spent a lot of time in church. And at some point, I was going to convert to Islam. But now I’m at the point where it’s just me and God. Not religion. Because I really don’t know anything about religion. That’s the problem. These holy books and what everybody is saying, I know it sounds true but these are just books that I can not find evidence that this was written by God or his servants.

So, I just feel like I don’t know anything in as much as I know the bible, Jesus and Allah. But at the end, I don’t have evidence. The only evidence I have is that there’s a God who is moving me. I know that there must be something that’s somewhere that’s in charge of this whole thing. I believe it’s God.”
