Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie is reportedly no longer associated with the brand ambassadorship of Life Continental Lager Beer according to Nigerian journalist Kemi Olunloyo.
Olunloyo revealed via Facebook that Edochie’s replacement was colleague actor, Frederick Leonard because of what she thought to be marital issues.
She wrote: “Life Larger Beer removes Yul Edochie as their brand ambassador, crowns a new well-mannered Fedrick Leonard as the new ambassador.
“Congratulations to Fredrick Leonard. In PR brands factor in what can sell them positively not drama and hatred with their ambassadors.”
Judy, the second wife of actor Yul Edochie, has openly voiced her suspicions regarding her husband’s involvement in an extramarital affair
She explained what sparked her suspicion in a video uploaded on Yul’s Facebook page.
She can be heard in the video complaining her hubby had not returned home by 2 am and failed to pick up calls despite repeated attempts to reach him.
Yul Edochie arrived while she was lamenting and she challenged him for arriving home so late.
But the actor failed to provide her with a compelling justification for arriving home late.
She then asked him if he was having an extramarital affair to which he offered no definitive response.
Judy, who evidently has access to her husband’s Facebook account, posted the video with the caption: “I suspect Yul has a girlfriend and he’s hiding it. See what happened last night. Is it fair?”
It’s unclear, though, whether there’s ‘turmoil in utopia’ or if it was simply one of their eccentric social media posts which they’ve been actively engaged in lately.
It seems that there fire on the mountain between Nollywood actor Yul Edochie and his second wife, Judy Austin, as they have been involved in another public altercation, which has been documented on social media.
Gistlover previously reported that a video of the lovebirds arguing was released on Yul Edochie’s Facebook page.
Judy Austin, who found the video insulting and has access to Yul Edochie’s social media accounts, posted a video of them arguing over it.
The actress chastised her husband for posting the footage without her permission, which Yul refused.
Yul Edochie had threatened to reveal her secrets to the public if she carries out her threat to post the video, which she did.
“You have no right to post anything on my social media page without telling me. There are so many things people don’t know about you and I’ll bring them out.
“I am going to do something drastic that you wouldn’t like. You can’t be giving me a headache and you think you will rest. You will see the things I will bring out”.
Judy Austin captioning the video wrote, “Since Yul Edochie decided to embarrass me by posting a video I made with my phone on the internet without my consent. I will shock him. It is now game on”.
Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has left his followers confused after sharing a video of him and his second wife, Judy Austin “having an argument” in their home.
In the video shared on his Facebook page, the couple could be heard arguing over a friend who borrowed Yul’s car, had an accident while driving it and did not inform the actor about it.
The 8-minute long video shows just Judy’s face alone but Yul can be heard in the background airing his displeasure about the situation.
While their argument seemed heated, some netizens however believe the couple were acting.
Sharing the video on his official Facebook page, Yul wrote,
“I don’t understand why I cannot talk to Judy and she’ll listen to me.
I’m getting tired of this whole thing. I found this video she made and I had to post it.”
A couple of days ago, Popular aphrodisiac expert, Jaruma made a startling allegation against Judy Austin.
Taking to her Instagram page, the controversial businesswoman alleged that Judy “cooked” her husband, Yul, in a pot.
Jaruma shared a video in which she is seen stirring a black substance in a large pot. As she stirs, she claims that actor Yul Edochie’s second wife, Judy, cooked him in the pot.
Yul Edochie is on the brink of welcoming another child into his life, following the heartbreaking loss of his first son, Kambili, from his first marriage to May.
In a video shared on his official Facebook account, Yul was heard in the background singing praises to his second wife, Judy Austin, as she posed in different styles and smiled sweetly.
The video confirmed that the actress is indeed pregnant with another child for Yul.
In the said video, there was also their first child together, Star, who was running into the photo session at the beginning.

The actor while thanking the leaders for taking up such a mandate also sent prayers their way.
He also prayed to God to give them all they require to advance the nation.
He wrote: ““Congratulations to our new President and Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu and His Excellency Kashim Shettima. May God give you all you need to lead our country to greater heights”.
But it appears his post did not sit well with netizens as it has attracted a series of backlashes from them.

Amidst the ongoing family saga, Danielle Edochie, the eldest child and sole daughter of renowned actor Yul Edochie, has made an unconventional move on her social media platform.
She has removed her father’s surname from her names on social media.
It will be recalled that Yul Edochie’s second wife, Judy Austin, had come under heavy backlash after her Thanksgiving video went viral.
In the said video, Judy was praising God for the birth of her child weeks after her co-wife, May lost her first son.
Nigerians had since berated Judy Austin for what they described as being insensitive considering that the Edochie family recently lost their first son.
Netizens also showed their dissatisfaction with Yul Edochie for sharing the thanksgiving video of his second wife barely two months after the death of their son.
Amid the online drama, a glance at Yul’s daughter, Danielle’s Instagram bio shows that it has been edited and her father’s name yanked off.
The Edochie family name could no longer be spotted on the Instagram bio.
Rather, the names ‘DIANA DANIELLE DUBEM’, boldly stood on the page.
The Nollywood actor Yul Edochie and Rita Edochie, the sister-in-law of his father, appear to be at odds with one another.
According to reports Yul chose to unfollow Rita because she supported his(Yul Edochie) first wife.
Rita Edochie took to her Instagram page to show her unwavering support for May Edochie.
The veteran actress reassured her that she has no rivals adding that no one can take what belongs to her.
She wrote: “IT’S YOUR HOME NWAM. NO WORRIES NO COMPETITION. IT’S A QUESTION OF TIME.”
Following this development, Yul Edochie broke his relationship with the seasoned actress.

Judy Austin, the second wife Nigerian actor Yul Edochie, has described how the Holy Spirit constantly fights her battles, by thwarting individuals who plot evil against her.
Judy testified to being a major beneficiary of God’s unlimited blessings while declaring herself special and His number one.
She narrated how she has continued to enjoy God’s goodness from her tender age till this moment because she placed absolute faith in Him.
The actress,in a video titled: “IJELE. Judy Austin breaks silence. Shares her story”, posted on her hubby’s Facebook page,asked people to thank God on her behalf.
She said: “I really don’t know where to start from; God loves me so much. I know it might sound strange to a lot of people but God loves me so much.
“I don’t know if he loves people like he loves me. He loves me so much, you will not understand. They says it he that wears the shoes that knows exactly where it pinches. It’s only me that knows, just me.
“But God loves me so much. He has continued to fight my battles. I want the entire world, the whole universe to worship God with me because He has been awesome to me.
“I am a special child, I’m so special. From the time I was born, from my childhood, my youth, till I gave birth to all my kids even till this last baby; oh God! I have experience.
“I’ve experienced a lot of things in this life. I actually started experiencing it from a very tender age. But you know, one thing is consistent in my life, and that thing is God’s love.
“He has loved me all the way. Even when it seems like I won’t make it. Even when it seem like the trouble around me will swallow me whole, somehow, I pull through. Somehow, I’ll still be at the top. I don’t know how that happens but I don’t have to know because God works in mysterious ways.
“He has truly shown me that I am His number one. If I want to talk about what I’ve been through in my very tender life, like how old am I? If I really want to talk about my blessings, I don’t think we will go today.
“God has truly been awesome in my life. Anybody around me will tell you. Every prayer point, I’ve ever written down,Godhas answered every single one of them. And you know what, He can do it for you.
“If your faith is not one hundred percent in God, you won’t experience what I’m experiencing. I’m here today because I have one hundred percent faith in God Almighty, in Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He’s my one and only. I brag with my God.
“I brag with the Holy Spirit because He has done so much for me. He fights my battles as if I’m a princess, like I’m a queen. Like I don’t have to ever stress, I just sit down. Let them come, I’m with you.
“Anybody that tries with me, the Holy Spirit scatters them. How special can you be? This is the height of being special in God’s arm. I’m His number one, I am God’s number one. God I thank you.
“See just have one hundred percent faith in God and forget the rest, no matter what’s happening against you, it means nothing. They say one with God is majority. You don’t have to be with the world, people are wicked. They want you to die.
“So you don’t need people’s validation. Once you have God’s validation in your life, you’re good. If you’re with God, you’re with the majority. There’s nothing that you’ll lack.
“I put to bed when it seems as if it won’t happen. That is God! He came through for me, He made sure that I am fine. Jesus Christ of Nazarethmade sure that I, Judy am fine.
“And then I came home with my baby. I came out and my baby came out. Go and ask around, so many people have died from this. But I go through this and I’m still bouncing, enjoying, laughing, and dancing every day. God loves me!!!”
Almost a month after, Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has found the perfect timing to open up on his ‘wounds’ following the death of his son.
In a long emotional tribute, the actor recounted his last moments with Kambilichuwkwu, his first son who has reportedly been laid to rest.
16-year-old Kambili passed away on March 30, 2023, two months after celebrating his birthday.
Social media was awash with reports that he died after developing a seizure while playing football with his schoolmates.
Yul and his first wife, May, have since remained silent on the issue and in the case of the former, he has deleted all his posts on Instagram to highlight his immense grief.
However, in the latest development, Yul has finally commented on his son’s demise.
The actor took to Instagram to pen down an emotional epistle to his late son.
“On that Wednesday morning, you came into my room, dressed up for school. You told me your school will be having inter house sports on Friday and I promised you I’ll be there. You were so excited.You told me you won a gold medal in swimming. I congratulated you. We joked about your height, then you left for school in your ever-cheerful manner. And you never came back home again.
“I can’t question God. My dear son, just 16 years with us here on earth, but you made your mark. Great Son. Calm, cute, brilliant, always cheerful, outstanding footballer, gentle and loving soul. You’re an angel. We miss you. We love you, Kambi. Daddy loves you. But God loves you more. Rest well, Son. Till we meet again. Rest in Heaven with God. My dear son, Kambi Yul-Edochie. Kambi yoooooo!” he wrote.
The actor’s colleagues, friends and sympathizers have also poured in their condolences beneath the post.
Checks reveal that Nollywood actor Yul Edochie and his brother, Linc Edochie, have unfollowed each other on Instagram.
One can recall that Linc distanced himself from Yul’s marriage to his second wife, Judy Austin in 2022.
While Yul was under attack on social media for bringing in a second wife, Linc joined critics to condemn the act and disassociated himself from his brother’s woes.
Following the recent news of Yul’s son’s death, the trolls on the actor have intensified with many blaming him for bringing in ‘bad luck’ to his family.
Yul has since deleted all his pictures and unfollowed a couple of people including his brother, Lince.
The brothers are no longer friends on Instagram, according to a quick search on their lists of followers.
Social media users have since been baffled by the development which has come as a shock to them.

Nigerian celebrities and fans across the world have flooded social media with emotional messages, sympathy and condolences for their colleague, Yul Edochie, as he buries son.
Yul’s first son, Kambilichukwu, whom he welcomed with his estranged wife, May Edochie, passed away on March 30 after he slumped while playing football.
Barely a month on, the private funeral of the 16-year-old has been held amid prayers for strength and comfort.
Veteran actress and grandaunt of the deceased, Rita Edochie, who made the announcement prayed for God’s wings over the remaining family members.
Other celebrities including Victoria Inyama have taken to their social media platforms to commiserate with Yul.
Since the passing of their son, neither Yul nor May have broken their silence and have been absent on the social media front.
However, Yul and his first wife, May, are yet to make a public statement after the death of their son, Kambilichukwu.
Earlier on March 30, 16-year-old Kambilichukwu reportedly collapsed while playing football and died in the hospital.

kadibya: “The man is grieving, the kind thing to do would be to let him be.”
The news of the death of Kambilichukwu, the first son of Yul and May Edochie came as a shock to many on Thursday.
The 16-year-old reportedly died after he developed a seizure while playing football with his mates in school after their examinations.
As family members and friends of the couple are still grieving, a psychologist, Johnbosco Chukwuorji, has proffered ways they can cope during this period.
He told Saturday Beats, “I extend my deepest condolences to the entire Edochie family on the unexpected demise of the young boy. It is very painful to lose a son, but it has happened and it is the reality on the ground that the family needs to face. There are no right ways of grieving.
“One of the ways the couple can cope is by staying connected and communicating with each other. They are already passing through a strained relationship. This incident may further put a strain on their union. But to cope, they have to accept what they cannot change.”
Chukwuorji, who is a senior lecturer in the Department of Psychology, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, spoke on the stages of grieving and how people could help the Edochies to cope during the mourning period.
He said, “There are five stages of grieving. These are the denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance stages. The first four stages are negative and unhelpful. The last stage is the most helpful and the ultimate. One will realize that the incident has happened and the best is to see ways to cope with it and life goes on.
“The couple should reach out to people and people should show understanding. It is not the time for people to go on social media and dig up the past on what has happened in their marriage. People should offer words of comfort to the family and share ways they had coped in the past with similar experiences.
“The family should also make an effort to reach out to their religious leaders for comfort. If they have a sense of spirituality, it is a time to draw closer to God. The couple should not also stay apart from each other. Staying together will help them to cope during this trying period.”
Although Yul and May have not made any post concerning the death of their son, some of their colleagues have continued to mourn with them.
Actress, Georgina Onuoha, wrote on Instagram on Friday, “Please say a word of prayer for May Yul-Edochie and her babies. Words are truly inadequate to express this level of grief. No mother or parent should ever have to go through this level of trauma losing a child. I still can’t believe this.”
On her part, actress, Uche Ogbodo, wrote, “This is so heartbreaking. I have been so mystified since morning. Rest in peace little one. Yul Edochie and May, my prayers are with you guys.”
Actress Iyabo Ojo wrote, “God please take control, please comfort them Lord. Yul and May Edochie, you are in my prayers. I am so sorry for this great loss.”

Nigerian actor, Yul Edochie, has reportedly lost his first son, Kambilichukwu Edochie.
Unclear what resulted in his death, the first son ofYul Edochie and May was said to have fallen unconscious and rushed to the hospital, multiple news websites in Nigeria including Vanguard News and Legit have reported.
Sister ofYul Edochie’s first wife said prior to his demise, Kambili had read throughout the night preparing for his exam.
After his exam in school, he joined his mates to play football and that’s when he developed a seizure and was rushed to Mother and Child Hospital.
Famous Nigerian actor and director, Yul Edochie has disclosed that it’s only a man with two wives that knows who owns his heart.
Yul, who is married to two women, has stirred reactions on social media with his disclosure of who owns a polygamous man’s heart while responding to a post he shared on his Twitter handle.
According to the tweet, ”who owns a man’s heart between a woman who is good in bed and another who can cook?”
Commenting on the post he shared, the actor said neither cooking nor being good in bed is enough to win hearts as there is more to it.
He wrote: “Ask the man. Only him can answer the question. Owning a man’s heart doesn’t come from cooking or being good in bed. There’s more to it.”
Yul wrote a note of encouragement to Funke Akindele over her decision to remove all campaign pictures from her Instagram page following her defeat alongside her party in the March 18 gubernatorial election.
Akindele was the running mate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Lagos State governorship candidate, Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran aka Jandor.
While Jandor, won at his polling unit, 001 located in Irewe, polling 87 votes beating the APC candidate who secured 66 votes; Akindele, lost her polling unit 019 in Ita Aro square, Ikorodu, after garnering 19 votes against APC‘s 77.
Though she said that she had no regrets about running for political office noting the journey to the ballot was an eye opener, she, however, deleted all her campaign posters and politics-related posts.
But her colleague, Yul recounted his experience when he contested for governorship in 2017, and encouraged Akindele not to be put down by her loss at the poll.
He suggested that her decision to delete all posts about her political joinery and exploit was not the best as they are part of her battle scars as a warrior.
Yul, referring to the mother of two as a warrior, urged her to wear her battle scars proudly.
He added just like he still anticipates being the president of Nigeria someday, Akindele shouldn’t despair because she would also hold a political office in the future.
He said: “To my dear colleague, @funkejenifaakindele. I want to congratulate you for the bold political step you took, running for Deputy Governor of Lagos State. You did great.
“I noticed you deleted all your campaign pictures from your Instagram page. Of course, I can’t sit in my house and know your reason for doing so, neither is it my business. But as a concerned colleague and friend I want to encourage you and through you encourage others out there.
“A warrior is always proud of his or her battle scars. The scars are proof that he or she went to battle and came back alive. You’re a warrior.
“Your campaign pictures are part of your battle scars. Wear them proudly. Those pictures deserve to remain on your page forever. It’s a historical moment for you. A rare privilege.
“No matter what anybody says to you. Don’t be discouraged by those who are laughing at you for not winning. Na childish brain dey worry dem. Cowards will always laugh at the brave ones. That’s the only way they console themselves for being cowards.
When they grow up they’ll laugh at themselves for not having the courage to try what you did.
“There are no failures in life as long as you never give up. It’s either you win or you learn. The person who fails is that person who has not tried at all.
“Out of the millions of Lagosians you were picked to be Deputy Governorship candidate. It’s a human and spiritual honor to be given the opportunity to serve the people. It marks the beginning of your political journey. Never give up.
“In 2017 I ran for Governor of my state, from start to finish and it’s one of the best things I’ve done in my life. One of my proudest moments. I learnt a lot. My campaign pictures are still on my page, my battle scars. I wear those scars proudly. And I’ll never give up. One day I’ll be the President of Nigeria.
“Funke, you will sit in your office someday as Deputy Governor or Governor or President and look at your first campaign pictures and you’ll have tears of joy in your eyes. You will be proud of your journey. Never give up. I wish you the very best. May God lead you always. Cheers.”
Yul Edochie has revealed why his older brother, Linc Edochie quit Nollywood for good. The two popular children of legendary Nigerian actor Pete Edochie, Linc and Yul also took Nollywood by storm.
However, Linc applied the breaks on his career and Yul has explained why this happened in an interview with The New Telegraph. See excerpts below;
On why Linc stopped acting, Yul said:
“Yeah, Linc started before me. He started like a year before I got in but later left to do something else. So, I would say we all have our own destiny.”
Speaking on if he plans to quit acting soon and what the future holds for him in Nollywood, Yul Edochie said:
“No, I am not even thinking about that. Never! I studied Theatre Arts and I took my time to read this so I didn’t just get in. I have a passion for acting and I have a passion for directing but I don’t have a passion for producing.
So, if I want to do my own films like right now I am planning on doing my own films, I am going to get a producer who is very good with that. Pay the producer to run everything but he’s going to be professional. So, I won’t say because it’s my film let me do everything, then I will mess it up.”
Yul also spoke on growing up with Nollywood icon, Pete Edochie, as his father.
His words;
“It feels good. Growing up was really good with him as a father. He is extremely strict, but I thank God that He gave me a father like that. I couldn’t have wished for a better father. He is a strict catholic, so a lot of things I know today I learnt because of my background. Like I told you, I would rather die than dope. Kill me but I won’t dope and that’s how my father is.
My father made us to understand that it is better to have a good name. Good name will get you riches and everything you need. That’s the kind of family I was raised in, and my mum too is very strict. There wasn’t much money then to throw around but we grew up loving God and each other.”
The Yul Edochie polygamy saga is not ending anytime soon as the actor’s first wife, May, threatens to sue actress Sarah Martin for photoshopped images.
Sarah’s offence was sharing a photoshopped picture of Yul’s second wife, Judy Austin and Yul into a family photo of May and her four children.
Star, the son Judy bore for Yul, is also featured in the photoshopped image.
The original picture was taken during Christmas.
On Friday, May revealed via Instagram that she had directed her lawyers to file a suit against one Sarah Chukwukere for sharing the edited image of her and her children.
Expressing her anger, she wrote, “it is inconsiderate and demeaning to smear anyone, especially someone you barely knew. I’ve always had a peaceful, joyful and loving family. I worked tirelessly for several years building a beautiful home while managing several businesses successfully.”

“It is evident that some persons have deliberately and desperately tried to taint my reputation and “change the narrative” to suit their agenda. This is unacceptable to me,” she added.
Drawing the attention of culprits and others who dare to do the same to her next course of action, she said her legal team would be extremely cheerful to dine with anyone who does not cease from character assassination or defamatory publications in the court of law.
May shared the writ from the court; the lawsuit demanded a public apology from the actress and a retraction of a defamatory publication.

Double Wahala
May also threaten to sue Sarah for a “false and injurious” statement made against her during an Instagram live session with popular media personality Daddy Freeze.
In the letter, it was stated that Sarah implied during the live chat that May “failed in her duties as a wife to Mr Yul Edochie and that such failures led Mr Yul Edochie to leave our client (May) and get married to Ms Judy Austin.”
The document explained that the statement was false as there was no event or evidence to confirm that the idea made was true.
The document also revealed that there was no form of relationship between May and Sarah to have warranted the conclusions Sarah held against her.
Stating the degree of Sarah’s offence, May’s counsel added that there was malice at play, saying that the statement was made from a place of hatred for May.
The statement inferred that Yul was estranged from May, whom he married in 2004.
They also highlighted a conspiracy between Sarah and Judy Austin to drive May out.
Contained in the list of demands are a public apology, a full retraction of the statement and an assurance that such false utterances will not be made in the future.
If the actress fails to render an apology, she will be made to pay N500m to May for damages.
Sarah’s Reaction
Reacting to the news of the impending lawsuit, Sarah shared a meme of a sad boy thinking about his life and wrote, “500m ??? God abeg o.”
The post was accompanied by an emoji caption which illustrated her hands on her head.
In April 2022, Yul introduced his son, Star, to his second wife and colleague, Judy Muoghalu, sparking controversy.
Yul married his first wife, May, at 22, in 2004, after dating for six years.
In July 2022, May opened up about how she fell into depression when her husband married a second wife. She recently said she would not be cajoled into accepting polygamy.

Yul made news in April this year when he announced he had picked Judy as his second wife.

In the midst of slanders and backlashes after being made a second wife to popular Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, Judy Austin is allegedly pregnant with a second child.
According to sources, Judy Austin was spotted at a hospital situated in the Enugu State where she had an antenatal appointment.
The news was shared by Gistlover, a popular Nigerian blog that first shared the news of Yul and Judy’s marriage and son which they hid from the public for over a year.
Earlier, news of Judy Austin’s alleged second pregnancy went rife on social media, and this is because she plays such roles lately in most of her recent movies.
The actress, however, did not confirm or deny the said reports in a post meant to address her critics.
“I understand that a lot of people are jobless… Meaning most people are really really angry and frustrated!! Lord fix them. Amen!!! Have a wonderful my bunnies!!!”
Background
Judy Austin and Yul Edochie made headlines on social media after the latter announced his marriage to the former on social media.
Yul also outdoored their one-year-old baby boy, a situation which further triggered public uproar online.
It can be recalled that, Yul’s first wife, May Edochie, went haywire after chancing on the said post as she took to the comment section to curse her husband and the second wife.
“May God judge you both,” she wrote under Yul’s post.
They were said to have unfollowed each other and it was also reported that Yul’s family disassociated themselves from the development.
After getting involved in countless controversies in recent times, popular Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has indicated that the time to heed God’s calling has come.
Yul Edochie has trended in recent times for having a son with his side chick whom he later married as a second wife at the blind side of his first wife.
He was lambasted for publicly sharing the news of his baby and second marriage after keeping it secret for over a year.
He was also reported to have snatched his second wife from her former husband (Mr. Obasi) in a new set of allegations that hit social media.
The actor who seems to have been captured in the bad books of some netizens also received open criticisms from some colleagues, his family, his first wife, and even children on social media.
But in the midst of all these, Yul Edochie has declared his intentions of venturing into ministry.
According to the actor, the time has come for him to pay heed to God’s calling which he had ignored all these years.
“I have a calling to serve God, I have a calling to be a minister, a preacher. To be one of God’s ministers. To preach the word of God through words and actions.
I had this calling years ago, many years ago but I always felt the time hasn’t come. But now it’s very strong. I feel the time has come. The time has come and God has blessed me. By the grace of God I have become one of the biggest, most celebrated actors of our time,” he stated in a video shared on his Instagram timeline.
Yul Edochie had on April 27, 2022, presented his second wife, Judy Austin Muoghalu, to the public.
Yul had described Judy as his second wife while also showing off his son by her.
May, in a statement on social media on Saturday said her ability to accept the situation and tolerate challenges and problems should not be misconstrued.
According to her, it was worthless trying to make an already bad situation worse hence the need to remain calm.
“Beyond all the unnecessary facades, Polygamy is a life choice and no one should be compelled to accept it,” she said.
“It is something I think all parties involved should embrace willingly, and it’s okay for anyone who chooses it. Some religions and traditions allow polygamy and I have nothing against it.
“However, I am ABSOLUTELY certain that I will not be NUMBERED as a wife or be cajoled to accept a practice that does not align with my faith and family values.”
May pointed out that until the second wife saga she had a stable and loving home .
Nollywood actor Yul Edochie‘s first wife, May, has recounted how she fell into depression after he married a second wife.
The mother of four made this known while recording a video for her fans on social media.
“Some people are saying May is using this to cash out. I don’t wish this against my enemy. Depression is real. And there are different stages of depression. For me rather than dwell in depression, I decided to pick the pieces of the beautiful world I had, a very beautiful world that I had,” she said.
“An amazing family that suddenly shattered and I decided to pick up the pieces and try to move on rather than dwell in depression. It has not been easy. I’m glad that I look happy and appear strong.”
“I’m glad that I have been able to go out there and do stuff. It is because of the love and support from my family and you guys. The love has been massive. These are the things that have kept me going.”
May has never hidden her disapproval over the decision of her husband to take a new wife.
In May, a few days after Edochie revealed that he had gotten married to a new wife, May expressed her displeasure over his move.
On Wednesday, April 27, the actor unveiled his new family on social media.
Yul and May have been married for sixteen years with four children.
The continued coronavirus induced lockdown in some parts of Nigeria has forced a lot of social media users to flood the pages of their favorite celebrities and public figures.
