‘Western religion’ made many pastors neglect their traditional calling – Yul Edochie

Self-acclaimed cleric, Yul Edochie, has accused many pastors in Nigeria of neglecting their original call, which he said was to become native doctors.

The controversial Nollywood actor and filmmaker in a post he shared on social media blamed Westerners and Nigeria’s movie industry for the neglect.

Edochie claimed that many of these pastors abandoned their call, urging them to retrace their steps back to becoming a native doctor.

He emphasised that a native doctor has a divine call and that native doctors help humanity.

On his Instagram page, Edochie wrote, “Many pastors today actually have the calling to be native doctors but they are refusing to answer the call bcos oyibo people brainwashed us to believe it is evil. And Nollywood has also contributed to making native doctors look 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 decides to be evil. Same way a pastor can decide to be evil.

“Go and answer your call. You may never have fulfilment in your life if you don’t answer your call.”
