Popular Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has expressed the view that numerous pastors are called to be native doctors, but they refuse to accept their ‘divine’ calling.
According to Edochie, these pastors have been conditioned to perceive native doctors as evil, which has led them to stray from their true calling.
Henzodaily reports that the actor made this statement in a post on Friday via his social media page.
The actor attributed the ongoing negative portrayal of native doctors to the influence of Nollywood, suggesting that the industry has contributed to the misconception of native doctors as inherently evil.
He further stated that any pastor who is meant to be a native doctor might never achieve true fulfilment in life until they embraces their original vocation.
“Many pastors today actually have the calling to be native doctors (Dibia) but they are refusing the call because Oyibo people brainwashed us to believe it is evil.
“And Nollywood has also contributed in making native doctors look evil.
“Being a native doctor is a divine call from God Almighty; it means you have chosen to help humanity.
“A true native doctor fights evil, unless he decides to be evil, same way a pastor can decide to be evil.
“Go and answer your call. You may never have fulfilment in your life if don’t answer your call,” Edochie noted on Facebook.
