Yul Edochie’s latest revelation is definitely shaking the table — again. After his surprising pivot last year from Nollywood to ministry, calling himself a man of God, he’s now taken another unexpected turn, this time embracing the role of a native doctor, or as he puts it, “a divine calling from the Most High God.”
His words are bold, and he’s clearly trying to reframe the narrative around traditional spiritual practices. By saying, “A true native doctor is a servant of God Almighty,” he’s merging spiritual concepts that many Nigerians see as separate — or even opposing: Christianity and traditionalism.
His message suggests that:
- Being a native doctor isn’t inherently “evil”
- The same way pastors can be corrupt, native doctors can also misuse power
- His calling is about serving, healing, and preserving culture, not just rituals or superstitions
But of course, the internet never holds back. The reactions are, well, mixed and very personal:
- @makyylove’s comment — “Finally, he is gone” — speaks volumes about how some fans feel he’s spiraling or losing direction.
- @yfw_xtras and @favour_onyeche both blame Judy (his second wife), hinting at the long-standing controversy over his marriage and how it supposedly changed him.
- @edehjenny4real adds a cryptic “You are gradually getting there. E remain small” — possibly implying he’s nearing full-blown chaos or maybe a spiritual breakdown.
It’s wild how someone can go from being a respected actor to pastor, and now, native doctor — all within a short period. It raises big questions about identity, faith, tradition, and influence, especially for a public figure like Yul.
What do you think — is he genuinely on a spiritual journey, or is this another publicity-fueled twist in the Yul Edochie saga?
