Nigerian actor and online pastor Yul Edochie left people talking after he made known his perspective about native doctors, also known as Dibias.
Yul, who was recently dragged for claiming most states in Nigeria enjoy 22 hours of electricity, suggested that some individuals, including pastors, might have been called to be native doctors but were hesitant to follow the path due to societal influences.
The actor stated that the belief that native doctors are evil was a misconception created by external factors like the media and the movie industry.
According to Yul, Nollywood played a significant role in portraying native doctors as evil.
Yul Edochie wrote in part:
“Many pastors today actually have the calling to be Native doctors (Dibia) but they are refusing to answer the call because Oyibo people brainwashed us to believe it is evil. And Nollywood has also contributed to making Native doctors look evil. Being a Native doctor is a divine call from God Almighty, it means you have been chosen to help humanity."
