Controversial Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has opened up about why he abandoned his Christian ministry to embrace traditional worship.
In 2023, Edochie announced that he was divinely inspired to start his ministry, preaching God’s word alongside his partner, Judy Austin. However, by early 2024, he made a surprising switch, revealing that he had embraced the traditional faith of his ancestors.
Explaining his decision, Edochie shared that he felt incomplete while leading his ministry. According to him, he received a divine message urging him to reconnect with his roots.
“In 2023, I started my ministry. 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 cannot 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’re approved by God. And when I came back home, I became complete.”
