Yul Edochie Urges Nigerian Pastors to Embrace Native Doctor Calling
Nollywood actor Yul Edochie claims many Nigerian pastors are destined to be native doctors but avoid the calling due to societal misconceptions. Read his thought-provoking message.
Controversial Nollywood actor and self-proclaimed cleric, Yul Edochie, has sparked a heated discussion by asserting that many Nigerian pastors are actually called to be native doctors but have strayed from their true calling.
Edochie attributed this to the influence of Western ideologies and the portrayal of native doctors as "evil" by the movie industry. He encouraged Nigerian clerics to reconsider their paths, suggesting they abandon Christianity to embrace their divine calling as native doctors.
The actor explained that being a native doctor is a sacred vocation, with its purpose rooted in helping humanity.
Taking to Instagram, Edochie wrote:
“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. Nollywood has also contributed by making native doctors appear evil.
“Being a native doctor is a divine call from God Almighty; it means you have been chosen to help humanity. A true native doctor fights evil unless he chooses to practice otherwise—just as a pastor can decide to be evil.”
Edochie further urged those struggling with unfulfilled lives to reflect on their true calling. “Go and answer your call. You may never find fulfillment in life if you don’t answer your call,” he advised.
The post has ignited conversations about traditional practices, religious identities, and cultural stigmas, drawing mixed reactions from fans and followers.
