The Nollywood actor and politician took to his official Facebook page to urge Igbos in the diaspora to view rejection abroad not as hostility, but as a spiritual sign to return to their roots.

“Ndi Igbo, come back home and invest in Igbo land,” Edochie wrote. “If you’re facing rejection on foreign soil, it’s not a sign to fight anybody—it’s a sign to return home. We have wandered for too long. Home is calling.”

His message comes after protests in Ghana where some citizens demanded the expulsion of Nigerians over alleged criminal activity, stirring tension among West African migrants.

Calling it a “spiritual call from our ancestors,” Edochie said the southeast is on the verge of a new dawn and that Igbos must unite to rebuild and invest in their ancestral homeland.

Quoting an Igbo proverb, “Ana amalu mma si na uno wee puo ilo”, which means “beauty begins at home before it shines outside,” he stressed the importance of reconnecting with one’s roots.
