Nigerian actor, Yul Edochie has sparked a heated debate on social media with his thoughts on the concept of “village people” obstructing people’s progress.
In a recent post on Instagram, Yul Edochie challenged the common belief that external forces from one’s village are responsible for hindering progress.
According to Yul Edochie, it is not the “village people” who are holding individuals back, but rather the individuals themselves.
He emphasized that people from the villages are also striving to improve their lives and do not have the time or energy to focus on hindering others.
Yul Edochie also touched on the role of the church in addressing life’s challenges.
“Nobody hold you for village. Village people don’t even have your time. They’re busy trying to make headway in their own lives. Na you hold yourself.
“Go home, go traditional, and ask questions about your life. Know who you are, where you come from, and where you should be heading to. Church doesn’t solve everything.”

Furthermore, he advocated for the importance of identifying, developing, and monetizing one’s skills, asserting that greatness cannot be attained through begging.
“Sometimes tell yourself, ‘I will not beg’. Sometimes, God sends tough times to challenge you to dig deep within you. Find the legit skills He has blessed you with, and develop and monetize them. Unfortunately, some people will rather beg than hustle. You can never become great by begging.”
