Controversial Nollywood actor and self-proclaimed cleric, Yul Edochie, has stirred controversy with his statement that many Nigerian pastors are divinely called to be native doctors but have abandoned their true calling.
Taking to Instagram, Edochie claimed that Western influences and the portrayal of native doctors as “evil” in Nollywood films have led many to forsake their original spiritual paths in favour of Christianity.
“Many pastors today actually have the calling to be native doctors but they are refusing to answer the call because Oyibo (Western) people brainwashed us to believe it is evil,” he wrote.
Edochie emphasised that being a native doctor is a divine calling meant to help humanity. “A true native doctor fights evil unless he decides to be evil, the same way a pastor can decide to be evil,” he added.
He urged clerics who feel unfulfilled in their spiritual roles to reconsider their paths, warning that they may never find satisfaction unless they embrace their intended roles.
The actor’s statement has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some applauding his advocacy for indigenous spirituality and others criticising his stance as an attack on Christianity.
