Actor, Yul Edochie Comes Under Fire For Heaping Blame Of Second Marriage On First Wife, May Edochie | See Details
The last may not have been heard of actor, Yul Edochie’s decision to marry a second wife, as members of his family have distanced themselves from the new development.
The Nollywood star, on his part, maintained that marrying a second wife was one of the best decisions he has ever made in life as he also shifts the blame of his action on his first wife of 17 years, May.
Recall that last week, the actor set tongues wagging on social media after he unveiled the birth of his son by his second wife, actress, Judy Austin Moghalu to the world.
His post on Instagram instantly went viral and since then, the actor has been receiving backlashes from different quarters, with many declaring him unfit to contest for any elective position in 2023, as he’s presently preparing ahead of the general elections.
In a new development, Yul has once again elicited backlash from the public as he tried shifting the blame of his second marriage on his first wife, May Edochie.
The actor put out the blame during an Instagram live session with Paulo Okoye where he talked about the controversies trailing his second marriage to his colleague.
The actor said that he doesn’t blame Nigerians because it is the love they have for him that made them drag him.
According to him, Nigerians don’t know the root as there is a reason why he married a second wife. He added that people don’t live in his house and as a man he can’t come out to spill everything that happens on his marriage.

In his words:
“I don’t blame them, it is the love that they have for me that made them react that way. They don’t know the root for it, there is a reason for it. They don’t live in my house. A man wouldn’t come out to say everything in his home they can insult me but they wouldn’t understand.”
He continued,
“I believe this is preparing me for “Aso Rock” because for one to sit on that seat one has to be prepared for things like this.”
His interview didn’t sit well with Nigerians as they blasted him.

Meanwhile, speaking in an online interview with comedian Kasboi a few days ago, Yul described marrying a new wife as the best decision he has ever made in his lifetime.
He said that he has always known that a day like this would come someday, adding that he didn’t need to seek his first wife’s permission to marry a new wife.
According to him, the woman who doesn’t respect you will not respect you. And the one who loves you and respects you will be with you forever.
On the backlashes trailing the development, the actor said everybody can’t see things the way you do.
“A whole lot of people don’t know you but judge you from what they see,”
he added.
Yul Edochie and his first wife, May Aligwe have been married for 17 years. Their union is blessed with four children, three boys and a daughter.
