Controversial Nollywood actor and filmmaker, Yul Edochie, has once again sparked conversation online following a bold announcement regarding his spiritual journey. The actor, who has made headlines in recent months for his outspoken views on religion and African spirituality, declared his return to both Christian and traditional worship.
Taking to his Instagram page, Edochie proclaimed that his ministry is back in full swing, revealing that his divine assignment involves reconnecting people with their roots.
In a post that has since gone viral, the actor and self-acclaimed prophet stated: “My ministry is back. God has sent me to bring His people back to their traditional ways.”
The declaration comes after a period of Edochie consistently advocating for the embrace of traditional African spirituality, urging Nigerians to look inward and reconnect with indigenous practices that predate colonial influence.
Edochie, who now identifies as both a “prophet” and a “traditionalist,” said his dual path is not a contradiction but a divine calling to merge the spiritual essence of both worlds.
His stance has drawn mixed reactions across social media. While some praised his courage to speak his truth and embrace African spirituality, others criticized his theological shift and questioned the authenticity of his prophetic claims.
Yul Edochie, son of Nollywood legend Pete Edochie, has increasingly used his platform to share unconventional spiritual messages, often blurring the lines between faith, ancestry, and modern-day doctrine. His recent declaration adds another layer to his evolving persona, as he continues to defy expectations both in his personal life and public ministry.
Whether embraced or rejected, Edochie’s latest move is sure to keep the spotlight firmly fixed on him and the spiritual message he’s determined to spread.
