EKO HOT BLOG reports that Nollywood actor and filmmaker, Yemi Solade, has claimed that in order to survive in Nigeria, one must belong to a certain cult.
The actor made this assertion on his verified Instagram page, where he shared a poster that bore the statement, “Nigeria. To live and survive in it, one must belong to the cult. – Yemi Solade.”
Solade went on to caption the post with the hashtags “cult,” “cultism,” “cultic,” “survival,” and “depressed.”
The statement elicited mixed reactions from fans, with some expressing concern that the actor may be going through a tough time.
The claim by Solade is likely to be controversial, as cultism is considered a criminal activity in Nigeria. The country has a long history of cult violence, with rival groups engaging in deadly clashes that have claimed many lives over the years.
However, Solade’s assertion also reflects the widespread belief in Nigeria that success in certain fields, including politics and entertainment, is often linked to membership in certain secret societies or cults.
This belief has been fueled by rumors and speculation, as well as occasional statements by public figures.
Despite the controversies surrounding his statement, Solade is known for being outspoken on social and political issues in Nigeria.
