Fans of Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, who recently launched an online ministry, have raised eyebrows at his recent post regarding Ogbanjes.
On October 16, Yul explored the notion of Ogbanje, which, according to Wikipedia, means “children who come and go” and is reincarnated into a family.
Yul contended that such people possess spiritual qualities, which should be exploited for the benefit of others.
According to the forthcoming preacher, many of these exceptional persons may feel compelled to conceal their true selves owing to cultural ignorance, religious convictions, and fear of being judged. He added that denial might cause personal turmoil.
The filmmaker encouraged people like this to investigate their inner selves, accept their unique talents, and grasp their purpose.
He said that by doing so, they can find fulfilment while constructively contributing to their environment.
“Many people we call ‘Ogbanje’ are people who are spiritually gifted. And the essence of having such spiritual gift is to use it to help humanity. But because of ignorance, religion & the fear of what people will say, they keep trying to run away from who they are and by doing so their lives become messed up. Dig deep, find your true self and embrace it and you’ll realize the essence of your existence and live a fulfilled life.”
