Ariyike Owolagba, better known by her stage as Ariyiike Dimples, is a Nigerian actress and media personality who has disclosed her reasons for quitting church.

The movie star revealed that she quit attending church for three years when a church elder questioned her sense of style in a recent episode of the Open Up podcast.

She claimed that because she wore a pencil skirt to church, which the elder deemed immoral, she would go to hell.

The actress claimed to have quit religion because she was dissatisfied with the experience.

“In my community church, you see only elderly people. You barely see the young ones. The young ones have gone to other churches. It was too serious. Yes, you can have your doctrines, but there is a way you can simplify it for young people and take them in without judging them.

“The reason I stopped going to church was because I wore a pencil skirt to church and an elderly woman said I will go to hell fire. I was shocked and felt wrongly judged so I stopped going to church for 3 years. And thankfully, I was already out of my parents’ house.

“The woman reported me to my dad. I had to take picture of the skirt and send to my mum to prove that I wasn’t dressing indecently. But my dad believed in the ideology of a community raising a child. So, I chose to avoid the community church so that they won’t see me,” she recalled.

However, Ariyiike Dimples noted that even though she stopped attending church, she is still a devout Christian.
