“Nobody Hold You For Village, Church Doesn’t Solve Everything” – Yul Edochie

Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has dismissed claims by some Nigerians that their struggles are caused by so-called “village people.”

In a Facebook post, Yul Edochie argued that these “village people” are too preoccupied with their own challenges to hold anyone back.

The actor advised people to take a more traditional approach to addressing their life issues, noting that not everything can be resolved through church and prayers.

He wrote, “Nobody hold you for village. Village people don’t even have your time. They’re busy trying to make headway in their own lives. Na you hold yourself.

“Go home, go traditional and ask questions about your life. Know who you are, where you come from and where you should be heading to. Church doesn’t solve everything.”
