In a recent Facebook post, Yul emphasized the importance for Nigerians to reconnect with their cultural identity and explore their own historical stories, rather than focusing on biblical figures such as Moses, Jacob, and the people of Israel.

We’ve been conditioned to know all about Moses, Isaac, Jacob, and the people of Israel. However, we’re unfamiliar with our own ancestors’ achievements and the remarkable individuals in our lineage.
