Nollywood actor asserts that there are a lot of men of God or pastors who were originally supposed to be traditionalists.
In a recent post by Yul Edochie on his Facebook page, he claimed many people in the ministry today have been called to be native doctors but they refused to heed the call because of Western influence.
According to the popular Nigerian celebrity, the Whites have brainwashed most African pastors to believe being a native doctor is evil.
He also blamed Nollywood for playing a role in negatively shaping the mindset of African pastors.
He wrote;
“Many pastors today actually have the calling to be Native doctors (Dibia) but they are refusing to answer the call because Oyibo people brainwashed us to believe it is evil.
And Nollywood has also contributed to making Native doctors look evil.
Being a Native doctor is a divine call from God Almighty, it means you have been chosen to help humanity.
A true native doctor fights evil. Unless he decides to be evil, the same way a pastor can decide to be evil.
Go and answer your call. You may never have fulfilment in your life if you don’t answer your call.”
Nigerians have expressed their views on his stance and these are what some of them said;
