Yul Edochie, a Nollywood actor, wrote a letter to Ndi Igbo regarding the choice of traditional leaders.
Yul instructed them to quit interfering with their customs in a long post on his Instagram page, explaining that traditional rulers are chosen through a traditional process rather than through elections or the government. These were the ways of their ancestors, he said.
According to Yul, the reason why there is so much crime in our society is because people have adopted too many white man’s habits and damaged their society as a result.
Yul wrote; “Ndi Igbo, stop messing up our tradition.
A traditional ruler must be selected traditionally, not by election or the government.
And he must be a core traditionalist.
Those are the ways of our forefathers.
We have now embraced too many of the white man’s ways and destroyed our society with it.
That’s why there’s so much crime in our communities today.
It’s time to retrace our steps and bring back our glory.
A traditional ruler must be selected by the deity of the land.
Then he will swear before the deity to uphold truth, unity and peace, and shun evil.
Any day he goes against the oath, the deity will strike him down.
With that, he will never support evil, and he’ll fight evil with all his might”.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
