Nigerian actress Rita Edochie has revealed the very expensive advice and warning she received from her father-in-law late Chief Sylvester Ejimofor-Odogwu Edochie, who happens to be the father of veteran actor Pete Edochie about polygamy.
This assertion from Rita goes in countenance with the attainment of her husband Tony Edochie’s nephew Yul Edochie who chose in April 2022 to shock the whole of Nigeria with the announcement of a child with a second wife, Judy Austin Muoghalu.
According to Rita, her father-in-law had advised her to stop employing mature girls as house help. She said that her late father-in-law reacted to this stir because he didn’t want anything polygamy in his home.
Rita stressed that she told her father-in-law that he shouldn’t worry about her husband Tony (Pete Edochie’s younger brother) because he doesn’t have time for women outside his house not to talk about having time for their house help.
The actress added that she didn’t know her discussion with her father-in-law would reflect through his grandchild having to opt for a polygamous marriage.
She however inferred that whatever her father-in-law said about his family avoiding polygamy still stands. Rita ultimately stands against Yul Edochie’s polygamous decision, hence her constant push to remind Yul’s second wife Judy that she doesn’t belong to Edochie’s family.
Rita’s post reads.
“A WORD OF ADVICE FROM MY LATE FATHER INLAW MAZI EJIMOFOR ODOGWU SYLVESTER EDOCHIE.
“A FATHER INLAW LIKE NEVER CALLED ME AND SAID RITA, SIR, I DON’T LIKE THIS IDEA OF HAVING MATURE GIRLS AS HOUSE HELPS BECAUSE HE DOES NOT WANT ANYTHING POLYGAMY IN HIS HOME.
“HE TOLD ME THIS BECAUSE I WAS ALWAYS HAVING “MATURE GIRLS” AS MY “HOUSE HELPS”. I SAID TO HIM PAPA I KNOW MY HUSBAND AND THAT IS THE REASON I CAN AFFORD TO DO THAT AND HIS ANSWER WAS TOH IN HAUSA LANGUAGE I SAID THIS BECAUSE AKWALA AMARO IFE MEANING PENIS NO GET SENSE AND I QUICKLY REPLIED HIM, MY HUSBAND DOES NOT HAVE TIME FOR WOMEN OUTSIDE NOT TO TALK OF HOUSE MAIDS SO I KNOW MY HUSBAND PAPA.
“WE ENDED THE MATTER AND SO IT REMAINS TILL DATE LITTLE DID WE KNOW THAT THE POLYGAMY THING WILL COME FROM HIS GRANDCHILD.
“BUT PAPA I PROMISE YOU, WHERE EVER YOU ARE IT STILL STANDS AS YOU STATED IT .
TRUST ME WE ARE NOT SLEEPING”.
It would be recalled that the announcement of Yul Edochie’s child with the actress Judy Austin sparked several reactions weeks after Yul broke the news.
Also, Yul’s first wife who was shocked and disappointed condemned the action of her husband, as she reacted that God will judge both of them. Yul’s daughter Danielle has also shared her reaction sometimes when she warned netizens to stop tagging her in anything related to her dad.
Since the loss of Yul and May’s first son, Kambilichukwu in March 2023, Yul and Judy Austin have been having good times and winks together, even with their controversial manner of displays on social media.
