“I Didn’t Speak French, But I Obeyed” — Ruth Kadiri Shares Story of Faith and Unexpected Success
Nigerian actress and filmmaker Ruth Kadiri has opened up about a remarkable journey of faith, obedience, and eventual success that led to the creation of her French YouTube channel, now boasting over one million subscribers.
Recounting the experience, Kadiri said the idea came shortly after she gave birth to her daughter in London. While walking down the stairs one day, she felt a strong spiritual prompting to start a French-speaking YouTube channel — despite not speaking the language.
According to her
After I had my daughter in London, I was walking down the stairs one day, and I felt God say, start a French YouTube channel. I did not speak French. It made no sense, but I knew that voice. It had guided me before.”
I tried to obey. I looked for translators, but it did not work out. One person took my money and disappeared. I became tired and dropped the idea. I felt maybe I heard wrong this time.
Then, one day, a man called me and asked if I was interested in doing French. Just like that, the right person appeared.”
Today, that French channel has over a million subscribers. That is how God’s plans are different from our plans.”
