Stop Electing Kings, Go Back to Ancestral Method - Yul Edochie to Igbo Monarchs
Posted by Thandiubani on Wed 02nd Jul, 2025 - tori.ngIn a post on Instagram, Edochie criticized the growing influence of elections and government involvement in the installation of traditional leaders.
Controversial Nollywood actor and filmmaker Yul Edochie has sent a message to Igbos and traditional rulers in the Southeast.
According to him, they must stop selecting/electing monarchs.
He urged them to return to ancestral methods of selecting traditional rulers.
He made the statement in a post on his Instagram page and wrote:
"Ndi Igbo, stop messing up our tradition.
A traditional ruler must be selected traditionally, not by election, not by the government.
And he must be a core traditionalist.
Those are the ways of our forefathers.
We have now embraced too much 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."
