Yul Edochie, a controversial Nollywood actor and self-proclaimed cleric, has stirred up a debate by suggesting that many Nigerian pastors were actually called to be native doctors.
He believes that some pastors shifted to Christianity due to the negative portrayal of native doctors as “evil” by westerners and the media.
Yul Edochie urged Nigerian clerics to reconsider their paths and explore the possibility of embracing their original calling as native doctors.
He emphasized the importance of recognizing the divine calling that comes with being a native doctor, and highlighted the positive impact they can have on humanity.
On his Instagram page,Yul 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 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.
“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.”
