Nigerian actor Yul Edochie believes that Nigeria’s woes today stem from the nation being cursed by colonialists.
The son of Nollywood legend Pete Edochie disclosed this while responding to a tweet from fellow movie star Uche Jombo on Tuesday, September 8, 2020.
Uche Jombo had simply asked, “Who curse Nigeria?”, to which Edochie replied that it was the Oyibo people, saying that the country was structured by them to foster misunderstanding among citizens.
Edochie added that the white men did the same thing to other African nations and that it was time for the continent to wake up.
His words:
“Oyibo people! They structured it in such a way that it will never work. So we’ll keep misunderstanding and fighting each other, making little progress and depending on them for everything.
Same thing they did in many other African countries. Africa needs to wake up.”
