Ace Nigerian movie star and filmmaker, Yul Edochie, has emphasised that he is just a very good actor and not a ritualist.
His statement stems from the fact that he has gained popularity by portraying movie roles as a ritualist.

“Just like American action films where one man will defeat a whole city of bad guys. Na storyline be that, e no dey happen. Is it now a crime to be a good actor? Make I no chop??? Na wa for una oo.”(sic)
To prove his point, the actor shared a screenshot of a message from one of his fans.
