Deities are not evil; desist from burning shrines and traditional deities: – Yul Edochie

Nigerian actor Yul Edochie has advised people to stop burning shrines and traditional deities insisting they are not evil.

Yul Edochie’s comment has triggered a lot of debate on social media as people are questioning his faith. It is worth noting that the actor recently opened an online church and had this to say;

“It’s time to answer the call of God Almighty. It’s time to do His work fully. To spread the true message of God. Tune in and be transformed,” 

This is the advise Yul Edochie shared on his Instagram page;

“Deities are not evil; Nigerians should desist from burning shrines and traditional deities. It was the white man that convinced people to believe their traditions are evil; the ploy was to make us abandon our ways and embrace theirs so as to make slavery easy.”

“Nigerians need to wake up and start embracing their traditions and culture; many deities acknowledge God Almighty. Burning them could bring perpetual trouble. If you don’t understand something, leave it. If it is not disturbing you, don’t disturb it,” he advised.

A lot of comments, reactions and question have since been directed the way of Yul Edochie:
