Nollywood star, Yul Edochie, has told of how some of his fans criticized him for posting a picture of popular cross-dresser, Bobrisky on his Instagram page.
In a video posted on his YouTube channel on Saturday, Edochie said some fans accused him of having a romantic affair with Bobrisky.
He said the post elicited thousands of messages to his DM as well as the comments section of the post.
The movie star decried the level of discrimination being visited on people like Bobrisky, insisting that they too were created by God and should be treated as others.
“Earlier this year, I wished Bobrisky a happy birthday with his picture posted on my Instagram page. And then my page blew up and went on fire.
“By the time I came back, I got thousands of messages on the post and then my DM was flooded with messages. Somebody sent me a DM and said that I’m sleeping with Bobrisky. Just because I wished him a happy birthday on my page.

“Someone even called me and requested that I pull down the post. Some people were even telling me how God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Are you God? Did God send you to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah?
“Stop judging people, you are not God. Bobrisky is a human being like every other person. Why do we discriminate against people? We should stop all these. God said to love your neighbor as yourself. Nigerians rest”, Yul said.
God Has Called Me To Be A Preacher – Yul
A few days ago the Nollywood actor said he has a call to serve as God's minister.
In a video posted on his YouTube page, the 40-year-old actor claimed that he got the call some years ago but never acted on it.
He, however, stated that the time had come for him to act on it as the pull to answer the call has grown very strong in him.
“I have a calling to be a preacher of God, to be one of God’s ministers, to preach the word of God through words and actions, Yul said.
“I’ve had this calling a long time ago, actually, many years ago. But, I’ve always felt maybe the time hadn’t come, the time wasn’t right. But now, it’s very strong. I feel the time has come.
He added, “God has blessed me in this life. By God’s grace, I’ve become one of the biggest, most celebrated actors in the continent of Africa. God has taken me to a very high point in my career.
“I’m starting to realize God lifted me as an actor to where I am so that I can become one of his ministers.”
