Homosexuality is caused by ogbanje spirit- Pete Edochie

Pete Edochie, veteran Nollywood actor opined his views on the subject of “homosexuality.” Homosexuality is caused by ogbanje spirit he says.

The 72-year-old movie star disclosed this in a recent video that circulated on social media.

Ogbanje (evil spirit) is a reincarnating spirit in the Igbo tradition that deliberately plague a family with misfortune. They’re most often children that die stillborn or children that die before they’re married. And then come back and repeat the cycle.

In the footage, Edochie revealed that homosexuality starts when a child reincarnates as the opposite sex, finding the same sex sexually attractive in the process.

“If a child is born and that child is very sickly and the child dies and the father says this child looks like an Ogbanje. And that there is a possibility that the child will come back; he gives the child a mark and then buries the child,” he said.

“Maybe a few years after another child is born, and the child comes out without the mark, how will you explain it? See it as reincarnation.

“A lady can get so fond of her friend and then dies. She would want to be part of that family so she can get very close to her. Instead of being born as a woman, she gets born as a man.

“But remember that the spirit that got into that pregnancy is that of a woman and now manifest as a man. When he sees a man, he is attracted to her, you know why? Because the spirit in him is a woman’s spirit. Very few people can tell you this,” he concluded.

In January 2020, the actor caused a stir on social media when he called out Nigerian men who kneel down to propose to their women; branding them “idiots” and “bloody fools.”
