Nollywood actor and self-acclaimed cleric, Yul Edochie, has stated that a lot of Nigerian pastors are called to be native doctors.
He said that many pastors left their original call to become native doctors because native doctors are considered and displayed as “evil” by westerners and the movie industry.
The actor urged some Nigerian clerics to consider leaving Christianity and becoming native doctors.
He said that a native doctor has a divine call. He also said that native doctors help humanity. Via his Instagram page, Yul 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 in 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.”
He also said, “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.”
