Solomon Buchi, a Nigerian writer and life coach, has strongly criticized renowned actor Yul Edochie for what he perceives as mockery of the Christian faith through Yul's newly launched online church, The Salvation Ministry (TSM). Yul initiated this virtual ministry last week, conducting his inaugural sermon on Sunday, January 28, via YouTube.
Solomon Buchi voiced his disapproval, asserting that Yul's actions, which contradict his preachings, present the Christian faith as a caricature. Specifically, he referenced Yul's extramarital affair with colleague Judy Austin, resulting in the birth of a child.
In an extensive Twitter post, the influencer raised questions about the seriousness of Yul's ministry and expressed concerns about his mental health. Solomon suggested that Yul be taken in for mental care given the recent events in his life.
He wrote, “Yul Edochie is making a caricature of the Christian faith. From cheating on his wife, getting another woman pregnant and being caught, to claiming polygamy is normal and okay, and now to open a ‘ministry’ claiming God called him. No doubt, God can call anyone, but there’s a whole structure to the logistics of starting a ministry.
Who is Yul Edochie’s spiritual father? What church does he even currently attend? Who discipled him? In the past months, he’s been involved in adultery and polygamy, which the Lord can forgive, but why is his ministry launch so close to a vulnerable season, for which he needs repentance and healing?
Yul has been through quite a lot in the past months, and he might need intensive mental care. This charade isn’t helping and all he needs is Jesus and reflective time to morph into a better man. It’s hard to tell if his ‘ministry’ is sarcastic or real, but whatever it is, it is still embarrassing to the Christian faith. Get your life and family together first, Yul.”
