Yul Edochie Lashes Out At Critics Over His Personal Life On Social Media
Nollywood actor Yul Edochiea took to social media in a fiery post, addressing critics who have consistently scrutinized his personal life and relationships.
Known for his outspoken nature, Edochie did not hold back in calling out those who advise him to keep his private life off the internet, especially those critical of his decision to share aspects of his marriage publicly.
Edochie posted an emotional message, lamenting how society often only celebrates people after they are gone. He argued that people who are genuinely happy are often met with envy and negativity. “One minute silence. The one wey dey sweet una na to wear black gather for person burial.
The person go turn to hero. But when that person is alive, being happy, his happiness go dey pain una. Thunder fire you,” he wrote, expressing frustration over those who, he claims, derive satisfaction from others’ hardships.

His post also took aim at individuals who advocate for privacy in marriage, mocking those who “hide” their relationships but still face problems within their unions. “You wey hide your marriage inside house you no still divorce? Your wife no leave you? Psycos,” he stated, implying that publicising or hiding a marriage does not necessarily determine its success.
Edochie’s message didn’t stop there. He berated “social media advisers” who, despite facing personal struggles, feel compelled to comment on his life choices. He defended his right to post about his wife and family as often as he wishes, asserting that no one has the right to dictate how he uses his social media platform. “If I post my wife one million times on my page, how e take concern you? Na you buy me data abi na your wife I post? Idiots,” he retorted, refusing to concede to his critics.
This isn’t the first time Edochie’s personal life has drawn public attention. Earlier this year, he was embroiled in controversy following his marriage to a second wife, Judy Austin, which led to a media frenzy and significant public backlash. Despite this, Edochie has remained steadfast, often defending his choices and confronting negative comments.
Edochie’s statement has sparked varied reactions online, with some supporting his stance on living authentically, while others argue that he invites criticism by sharing his life so openly.
