Actor Yul Edochie has revealed God redirected him to know more about his root.
According to Edochie, God told him in 2023 to return to his roots and learn about his people’s traditional rituals and practices.
Edochie claimed that when preaching, he felt an unfulfilled gap, leading God’s command to investigate his own cultural history.
He was told to focus on his own people’s traditions, rather than solely emphasising the experiences of others.
He wrote on Instagram: “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 told me, ‘Go home and know about your people. You can not 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”.
Upon heeding God’s call, Edochie returned home and immersed himself in his people’s traditions.
He claimed that this experience brought him a sense of completeness.
