Actor and self-acclaimed cleric Yul Edochie has attributed the rise in untimely deaths to Nigerians abandoning their traditional ways for Western influences.

He advised people to return to their cultural roots and embrace traditional practices, believing this will help prevent premature death.

According to Yul, adhering to these traditional guidelines can protect individuals from untimely death.

“Untimely death has become rampant in our society. It’s happening bcos majority of us have abandoned our traditional ways and embraced the ways of the white man.

“Go home and embrace our traditional ways. As a traditionalist, you’ll be fully enlightened on the dos and don’ts of spirituality.

“If you keep to it judiciously, untimely death will never be your portion,” he wrote on Instagram.
