Synopsis

Man of God is the story of a young boy, Samuel played by Akah Nnani who was the first son of a Pastor played by Jude Chukwuka, Samuel had a very harsh religious upbringing as it was evident in the film by his father always ready to beat him and discipline him anytime he deviates from the Christian way. Samuel gained admission to the higher institution and decides to forsake his religious upbringing to live his own life, while also forsaking home and not reaching out to them nor replying their letters.[4] Samuel was also trapped in a love triangle with Joy played by Atlanta Bridget Johnson and Teju played by Osas Ighodaro and also his real mate, Rekya played by Dorcas Shola-Fapson. Samuel's love for money made him go into fake ministry while posing as a man of God, he also engaged in a lot of atrocities for money, but things didn't go in the way Samuel would have expected in the end.
