Yul Edochie’s comments on deities spark reactions suggesting trying babalawo if church doesn’t pay

Yul Edochie, the renowned Nigerian actor, has recently stirred up discussions with his remarks about traditional deities. In a thought-provoking statement, he urged people to stop burning shrines and deities, emphasizing that not all of them are evil.

Yul Edochie, who also runs an online church service, challenged the prevailing notion that indigenous traditions are inherently wicked. Instead, he highlighted that these practices often acknowledge God Almighty.

He emphasized that many deities are not evil and deserve respect. He suggested that misconceptions about deities being evil have been propagated by outsiders.

Yul Edochie cautioned against the destruction of deities simply due to a lack of understanding. His comments serve as a reminder to respect all beliefs and traditions.

In his own words:

“Stop burning shrines and deities. Not all deities are evil.

Oyibo convinced us that all our ways are evil so we could discard our ways & embrace theirs, making slavery easy. We need to wake up & start embracing our tradition.

Many deities acknowledge God Almighty.

Burning them could bring you perpetual trouble.

If you don’t understand something, leave it. if it’s not disturbing you, don’t disturb it.

YUL EDOCHIE”
