Nigerian actor and self-styled pastor, Yul Edochie, has ignited a social media firestorm with his unorthodox advice to fans, urging them to spend their savings rather than saving for the future.
In a recent Instagram post, Edochie encouraged his followers to “chop their money” and share some with those in need, emphasizing that death is inevitable and someone else will spend it if they don’t.
Edochie’s comments have elicited mixed reactions, with some criticizing his approach as reckless and irresponsible, while others view it as a call to live in the present and share with others.
The actor expanded on his views, stating that life is not as serious as people make it out to be and that everyone will eventually die. He emphasized the importance of enjoying one’s life and sharing with others, rather than hoarding wealth.
“We’re all going to die. It’s only a matter of time. e go reach everybody. Life is not that serious. Na we just dey take am too serious. That money wey you dey hide, bring am out, chop am well well. Share some with other people. If not, you go still leave am die,” Edochie said.
His unconventional advice has sparked a heated debate, with many weighing in on the merits of living in the present versus planning for the future.
