In a new development, Yul Edochie took to his Instagram page on March 19, 2025, to explain how his interest in traditional worship started after he started his online church.

According to the controversial actor, he felt incomplete while preaching the word of God and then God told him to go home and learn about his people.

The movie star claimed that he could not be preaching about the Israelites without knowing about his village people of Nteje. Yul said that God told him to learn traditional worship and the ways of his people, which he did and it made him feel complete.

In his words:

“While preaching the word of God, I felt a vacuum. I felt there was more to it. I felt incomplete.

Then God said to me, ‘Go home and know about your people. You can not be preaching about the people of Israel, yet you know nothing about the people of Nteje.

Go home and learn the traditional worship and ways of your people, for they are approved by God. And when I came back home, I became complete.”

Yul Edochie becomes traditionalist

Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG earlier reported that Yul Edochie resolved to become a hardcore traditionalist.

The filmmaker in a post on social media argued that because of fear of what people would say, Africans are running away from their traditional religion.

Qualifying it as powerful, the controversial star argued that it was an abomination for Africans who were not practising.
