Nollywood actor and politician Yul Edochie has issued a heartfelt message to Ndigbo in the diaspora, urging them to return and invest in their homeland amidst rising tensions in Ghana.
This comes just days after a wave of protests erupted in Ghana, where some citizens called for Nigerians to leave the country due to alleged crimes attributed to Nigerians. The situation has sparked concern among many Nigerians living abroad, particularly those from the southeastern region of Nigeria.
Taking to his official Facebook page, Yul Edochie appealed to his fellow Igbos not to retaliate or engage in conflict if they are being rejected in foreign countries. Instead, he called on them to heed what he described as a spiritual call from their ancestors to come back home.
“Ndi Igbo come back home and invest in Igbo land.
If you’re facing rejection on foreign soil, it’s not a sign to fight anybody, it’s a sign to return home.
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.
A new dawn has come in Igbo land.
It’s time to return home.
Ana amalu mma si na uno wee puo ilo,” he wrote.
