“I’m a Hardcore Traditionalist” – Yul Edochie Declares Despite His Online Church
Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, known for his controversial public life, has surprised many by declaring himself a “hardcore traditionalist.”
This statement comes as a bit of a shock, especially considering Edochie opened his online church, The Salvation Ministry, just last year.
He expressed a deep commitment to the traditional religion of his ancestors, revealing that he would never abandon it, regardless of what others think.
In his post, Edochie criticized the growing trend among Africans to move away from their indigenous religions due to societal pressure.
He passionately stated, “Because of fear of what people will say, Africans are running away from their powerful religion, their originality. Abomination!”
He went on to emphasize his unwavering belief in the traditional ways, asserting, “I will never abandon the ways of my forefathers. It is built on truth, transparency, and fairness. I’m a hardcore traditionalist.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
