Nigerian actor Yul Edochie has discussed the concept of  Ogbanje, which, according to Wikipedia, means “children who come and go”, to be reincarnated into a family.

The upcoming preacher claimed that many of these gifted individuals may feel pressured to hide their true selves due to societal ignorance, religious beliefs, and fear of judgment. This denial, he said, can lead to personal turmoil.

The filmmaker encouraged people of such to explore their inner selves, embrace their unique gifts, and understand their purpose. 

By doing so, he claimed that they can achieve fulfilment and contribute positively to the world around them.

Yul Edochie who recently advised youths on loyalty wrote:

“Many people we call ‘Ogbanje’ are people who are spiritually gifted. And the essence of having such a spiritual gift is to use it to help humanity.

“But because of ignorance, religion, and the fear of what people will say, they keep trying to run away from who they are, and by doing so, their lives become messed up.

“Dig deep, find your true self, and embrace it, and you’ll realise the essence of your existence and live a fulfilled life”.
