Nollywood actor and movie producer, Yul Edochie has shared his perspective on the cultural concept of “Ogbanje” (a term often associated with spiritual or mystical abilities).
According to Yul Edochie, societal factors like ignorance, religious beliefs, and fear of judgment often lead these individuals to suppress their true nature, “Many people we call ‘Ogbanje’ are people who are spiritually gifted,”
On his Instagram page, he described these individuals as possessing unique spiritual gifts meant to benefit humanity.
He encouraged them to self-reflect, accept, and harness their gifts to discover their life’s purpose and live a fulfilling existence.
Yul Edochie said. “And the essence of having such a spiritual gift is to use it to help humanity. But because of ignorance, religion, and 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.”
