“Holy Ghost fire doesn’t solve every problem. Some problems require traditional solutions” – Yul Edochie reveals as he addresses pastors and priests

Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has sent a message to pastors and priests on the need to embrace traditional worshipping.

Taking to his Instagram page, he claimed that most pastors and priests are traditionalists and are fond of travelling to their villages to perform traditional rites to clear their way. But, they hide it from their church members because they don’t want to be called a fetish.

Yul admonished them to open up to their congregation as he let them know that tradition isn’t juju. The controversial actor added that Holy Ghost fire doesn’t solve every problem, but some problems require traditional solutions.

“Many of our Pastors and Priests are traditionalists.
Occasionally, they travel to their villages and perform traditional rites to clear their way.
But they’re hiding it from their church members cos they don’t want to be called fetish.
Open up to your congregation.
Give them update.
Tradition is not juju.
Were Africans.
Holy Ghost fire doesn’t solve every problem.
Some problems require traditional solutions”.

In March, Edochie revealed one of his conversations with his Maker. He claimed that God told him to go home and learn the traditional worship and ways of his people, for they’re approved by God. The controversial actor added that when he came back home, he became complete.

In another post, he spoke about his call and directions from God as a traditional cleric. The actor, who had always advocated traditions, stated that God called him to lead His people back to the traditions, which traditional ways are approved by God and are a way of salvation.

This contradicts past posts bashing Nigerians for practising foreign traditions in place of Christianity. He claimed the Western religion was brought to erase the traditional religion of the country.

Early this year, Yul had responded to those questioning if he was still a minister of God. He revealed that he is still a minister of God and is now more powerful because he has gone back to his roots. Explaining himself, he claimed that God opened his eyes and revealed the truth to him which has been hidden from many for decades.

Recall that in January, last year, Yul had accepted his calling and launched his own online Ministry, The Salvation Ministry. Many thought he was just chasing clout until he held his first online service on Sunday, January 28th. During one of his services, he claimed his called him because of his stubbornness.
