In the spirit of Easter, Nollywood actor and clergyman, Yul Edochie has advised Nigerians to stop burning shrines and deities.
In a post on his Instagram page, Yul noted how not all deities are evil. He asserted that it was the Whites who persuaded us to believe that our traditions were evil, encouraging us to abandon our ways and adopt theirs, which ultimately facilitated the acceptance of slavery.
Yul urged Nigerians to awaken and embrace their traditions, pointing out that many deities even recognize God.
He emphasized that disregarding these traditions could lead to ongoing problems, advising those who don’t understand to leave them be as long as it doesn’t disrupt them.
He wrote
“Stop burning shrines and deities. Not all deities are evil. Oyibo convinced us that all our ways are evil so we could discard our ways & embrace theirs, making slavery easy.
We need to wake up & start embracing our traditions.
Many deities acknowledge God Almighty.
Bringing them could bring you perpetual trouble.
If you don’t understand something, leave it.
If it’s not disturbing you, don’t disturb it”.
