Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has raised concerns over many premature deaths in recent times.
Naija News reports that Yul, in a post via Instagram on Thursday, claimed that people’s negligence and choice led to the death of youths in their twenties, thirties and forties.
The movie star attributed the deaths to the abandonment of traditional ways and embracing foreign worship.
He stated that the spirits protecting many people are powerful and have departed angrily because they were relegated.
Edochie urged everyone to return to their pure and powerful traditions.
He wrote, “Too many premature deaths these days. Young people dying in their twenties, thirties, forties. It is not normal.
“It is happening because we have abandoned our traditional ways and embraced the ways of oyinbo people.
“The spirits that protect many of us and our lands are angry because they have been relegated. We must go back to our traditional ways, which are very pure and powerful.”
Meanwhile, Edochie recently expressed the view that numerous pastors are called to be native doctors, but they refuse to accept their ‘divine’ calling.
According to Edochie, these pastors have been conditioned to perceive native doctors as evil, which has led them to stray from their true calling.
The actor attributed the ongoing negative portrayal of native doctors to the influence of Nollywood, suggesting that the industry has contributed to the misconception of native doctors as inherently evil.
He further stated that any pastor who is meant to be a native doctor might never achieve true fulfilment in life until they embraces their original vocation.
