'Stop burning shrines, not all deities are evil' - ‘Pastor’ Yul Edochie’s advice triggers backlash

Amid this year's Easter celebration, Nollywood actor and online pastor Yul Edochie has admonished his fans and followers against burning shrines and deities.

Yul, who runs an online church service, in a post on his social media timeline stated that not all deities were evil.

He added that it was the whites who convinced people to believe their traditions were evil so they could abandon their ways and embrace theirs, making slavery easy.

The actor also urged his fans to embrace their tradition and culture, as many deities also acknowledge God.

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."
