- Solomon Buchi, a Nigerian writer and life coach, has criticized actor Yul Edochie for mocking the Christian faith through his ministry.
- Yul launched his online church, The Salvation Ministry (TSM), last week and held his inaugural sermon on January 28 on YouTube.
Solomon retorted, saying the actor is portraying the Christian faith as a caricature, particularly through his acts, which contradict his preachings.
He spoke of Yul Edochie’s affair with his coworker Judy Austin, which resulted in the two of them becoming parents.
The influencer claimed in a lengthy tweet that it is hard to tell if Yul is being serious about his ministry or just being sarcastic. He expressed worries about the movie star’s mental health as well and recommended that they be admitted for treatment.
He wrote; “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.”
