Yul Edochie urges Igbos to return home amid rising tensions in Ghana

Nollywood actor and politician Yul Edochie has shared a heartfelt message to Igbos living abroad, urging them to return and invest in their homeland amid growing unrest in Ghana.

His appeal follows recent protests in Ghana, where some locals demanded that Nigerians leave the country over alleged criminal activities linked to them. The development has raised alarm among Nigerians overseas, especially those from the Southeast.

In a post on his official Facebook page, Yul advised Igbos not to react with hostility or seek retaliation when faced with rejection abroad. Instead, he encouraged them to see it as a spiritual signal from their ancestors, calling them to return home and rebuild their roots.

“Ndi Igbo come back home and invest in Igbo land.
If you’re facing rejection on foreign soil, it’s not a sign to fight anybody, it’s a sign to return home.
We have wandered for too long.
Home is calling.
Our ancestors and spirits in Igbo Land are calling us to return home and develop home.
A new dawn has come in Igbo land.
It’s time to return home.
Ana amalu mma si na uno wee puo ilo,” he wrote.
