Popular Nigerian comedian and content creator Adesokan Emmanuel, widely known as Shank Comics, recently shared a humorous yet heartfelt story about his father’s religious conversion — and it all happened because of food.
During a conversation with another content creator in Canada, Shank Comics revealed that his father, originally a Muslim, converted to Christianity after a church gave him a meal when he was hungry.
He explained, “I’m a Christian. Although I have a Muslim name, Saheed. My dad was a Muslim, but there was a time he was very hungry, and a church gave him food—then he converted to Christianity. My dad is so cheap. We were just hungry.”
The clip quickly went viral on social media, sparking amusement and discussion about the unexpected ways people’s faith journeys can unfold.
