Yul Edochie Calls on Igbos in Diaspora to Come Home and Invest
Nollywood actor and political figure Yul Edochie has urged Igbos living abroad, especially those in Ghana, to return home and invest in their land.
His appeal follows recent unrest in Ghana, where a wave of protests has targeted Nigerians over alleged criminal activity.
The call comes at a time of rising anxiety among Nigerians in Ghana, particularly the Igbo community, as some Ghanaians have demanded that Nigerians leave their country.
The situation, which has stirred mixed emotions online and in diaspora communities, has prompted reflection on what home truly means.
Taking to his official Facebook page, Edochie encouraged fellow Igbos not to respond with hate or retaliation.
Instead, he advised them to see this challenge as a message from the ancestors a sign that it’s time to return to their roots and rebuild.
“Ndi Igbo come back home and invest in Igbo land,” he wrote.
“If you’re facing rejection on foreign soil, it’s not a sign to fight anybody, it’s a sign to return home.”
According to the actor, this moment should not be seen as rejection, but rather as a spiritual awakening and a turning point for the Igbo people.
He believes that the time has come for Igbos to stop wandering and start rebuilding their heritage.
“We have wandered for too long. Home is calling. Our ancestors and spirits in Igbo land are calling us to return home and develop home,” he continued.
“A new dawn has come in Igbo land. It’s time to return home. Ana amalu mma si na uno wee puo ilo.”
Yul Edochie’s statement has since gone viral, sparking conversations about identity, cultural pride, and the importance of investing in one’s place of origin.
