Abel Damina daughters: “Our sister was kidnapped, and she hated our father because of it”

#WithChude - A podcast by Chude Jideonwo

They own perhaps the biggest web series in Nigeria and Africa - and the biggest Gen Z series ever. Without making any noise about it and with no media campaigns, their videos rack up millions of views. One of them has over 11 million views! Jesi, Jemima and Jeiel Damina are YouTube OGs, and the youngest is barely out of her 20s. They are also fantastic singers. First I was their fan, and THEN I discovered that they are the daughters of Abel Damina, a man whose teachings in 2017 saved my faith, and changed my life. I was extremely excited to discover this. As they release their first feature film, ‘Guli’ this weekend, we release this exclusive conversation that discusses how they grew their platform to over one million followers from their base in Uyo-Akwa Ibom, how they converted mops into boom mics, and what it’s like to grow up as Pastors daughters. We talk about that time Jeiel was kidnapped, and how her father challenged God, and why she blamed her father for a long time. And we talk about the big, big BIG visions they have for the now and the future - while they focus on the work and only the work. Now, these ones are true inspirations for their generation.
