Nigerians forget Ancestors, worship Biblical heroes — Actor, Yul Edochie spills

• Edochie expressed disappointment in a Facebook post.

Nigerian actor Yul Edochie has initiated a significant discussion on social media, drawing attention to the paradox of many Nigerians being knowledgeable about biblical narratives while lacking awareness of their own ancestral backgrounds.

In a post on Facebook, Edochie conveyed his discontent, remarking:

“We’ve been brainwashed to know everything about Moses, Jacob, Isaac, and the people of Israel, yet we know nothing about our ancestors, their exploits, and the great people in our lineage.”

He underscored the necessity of recognizing one’s origins, concluding with the assertion:

“If you don’t know who you are and where you’re coming from, you’ll never know where you’re heading to.”

Edochie’s message serves as a call for Nigerians to rediscover their cultural identity and delve into their own historical narratives, rather than exclusively concentrating on biblical personalities.

Meanwhile, Yul Edochie finds himself once again at the center of controversy, as a bold actress has claimed that she has given birth to his child.

The situation escalated when the gossip blog, Real Truthlover, brought to light her startling allegations, indicating that the blogger had engaged in a private dialogue with Christabel to explore her provocative claims of motherhood with the esteemed actor.

Real Truthlover reported:

“Ever since the news of Christabel’s baby i didn’t and couldn’t post about it because | wasn’t sure since my text to her was still hanging.,I wanted to confirm from the horse’s mouth before posting about it.,Guess what? She just confirmed it’s true and it’s a boy.”

In an intriguing development, the blog shared a series of screenshots from their direct message conversation, where Christabel asserted that Yul is undoubtedly the father of her child.

A thorough examination of Christabel Forsman’s Instagram account reveals a plethora of bold posts that vividly illustrate her claimed relationship with Yul. She ardently identifies herself as his wife, expressing heartfelt tributes and poetic reflections on their alleged love and connection.

She stated:

“YES” I AM CHRISTABELYUL EDOCHIE, ” MOTHER OF YUL EDOCHIE AND WIFE OF YUL EDOCHIE THE GREAT ” AND ” YES” TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE IT COS GOD WHO CREATED THE LAND, AIR AND SEA MADE THE LOVE, UNION AND BOND BETWWENI CHRISTABEL AND YUL EDOCHIE THE GREAT 100% AND THIS MAKES ME VERY HAPPY BI ESSED AND HIGHIY FAVOURED”

Her profile serves as a gallery of Yul’s images, interspersed with photographs of the two together, suggesting a closeness that many fans were previously unaware of.

The repercussions of this shocking revelation on social media have been profoundly impactful, striking fans with the force of a lightning bolt and generating a storm of responses.

The comment section of Real Truthlover has evolved into a contentious arena of differing viewpoints, with many individuals articulating their astonishment and indignation regarding the disclosure.

Conversely, those who are skeptical of Christabel’s narrative have expressed their reservations, calling for evidence and scrutinizing her intentions. In a development that has further intensified the situation, numerous users have begun tagging Yul and his wife, Judy Austin, in the comments, delivering harsh critiques and derisive remarks.
