Actor Yul Edochie of Nollywood has urged Nigerians to uphold their traditions and cultures in order to escape enslavement.
The actor, who has started an online church, shared the guidance on his Instagram feed, @yuledochie.
He urged Nigerians not to burn their gods, emphasizing that they are not malevolent.
“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 stated.
According to News Men, the Nollywood star debuted his online church and Christian ministry, “True Salvation Ministry,” in January.
The 42-year-old actor said that the ministry’s events will take place on Sundays on his YouTube Channels when he made the news on his official Facebook page.
He stated “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.”
