Last week, Yul Edochie revealed to the surprise of Nigerians that he was finally accepting the call of God upon his life. The Nollywood actor has ventured into many segments in life including politics, so when he picked up the mantle to open his own church, it was met with skepticism.
Popular Twitter Influencer, Solomon Buchi, accused him of making a mockery of the christian faith. He also demanded that Edochie reveal his Spiritual father (a title given to an older man of God, whom a newer pastor has served under).
“Yul Edochie is making a caricature of the Christian faith. From cheating on his wife, getting another woman pregnant and being caught, to claiming polygamy is normal and okay, and now to open a ‘ministry’ claiming God called him. No doubt, God can call anyone, but there’s a whole structure to the logistics of starting a ministry.
Who is Yul Edochie’s spiritual father? What church does he even currently attend? Who discipled him? In the past months, he’s been involved in adultery and polygamy, which the Lord can forgive, but why is his ministry launch so close to a vulnerable season, for which he needs repentance and healing?
Yul has been through quite a lot in the past months, and he might need intensive mental care. This charade isn’t helping and all he needs is Jesus and reflective time to morph into a better man. It’s hard to tell if his ‘ministry’ is sarcastic or real, but whatever it is, it is still embarrassing to the Christian faith. Get your life and family together first, Yul.” – Solomon Buchi
Edochie seems to have answered Buchi’s question, allegedly revealing his Spiritual father.
Shortly after announcing the commencement of his online church, he celebrated popular Nigerian minister and Televangelist, Paul Adefarasin. Many believe he was revealing that Adefarasin was his Spiritual father.
