In a shocking turn of events, the ongoing divorce proceedings between Nollywood actor Yul Edochie and his first wife, May Edochie, have taken a troubling turn. May’s legal counsel Emeka Ugwuonye has come forward, shedding light on the alarming issues faced in the divorce case.
According to the lawyer, Yul Edochie has abruptly halted the child support he was previously providing for his children with May. The legal practitioner revealed that Yul has stopped paying the school fees for his children, a move that has left the family in a precarious financial situation.
Furthermore, the lawyer disclosed that Yul had the audacity to tell his own daughter, Danielle, who is his firstborn, that he would no longer cater to her and her siblings because their mother, May Edochie, earns more than him. This heartbreaking revelation has understandably left the family devastated and questioning Yul’s commitment to his parental responsibilities.
Ned Nwoko vs Yul Edochie
The divorce lawyer went on to emphasize the stark contrast between Yul’s actions and the approach taken by another prominent Nigerian figure, Ned Nwoko. Nwoko, a politician, has married up to five wives, but the lawyer pointed out that he dutifully takes care of all his children, including paying their school fees. In contrast, Yul’s disregard for his children’s well-being is deeply concerning.
The lawyer further accused Yul of continuously attempting to convince May’s children to accept his decision to take on a second wife, Judy. Yul’s persistent efforts to “re-engineer” the children’s minds have even driven his eldest daughter, Danielle, to distance herself from him by removing her surname and all Yul-related content from her social media platforms.
The legal practitioner’s statement read, “Yul told his daughter that their mother is making more money than him now. Can you imagine? So you’re going into polygamy but you can’t take care of the children. You want to try polygamy?”
The lawyer emphasized that Ned Nwoko’s approach, where he complies with the laws of the country, is starkly different from Yul’s actions. Yul, on the other hand, is accused of violating the law and then attempting to lie about it in court.
He said, “So, please don’t compare the two [Ned Nwoko and Yul]. The reason nobody is criticising Ned is because he complies with the laws of the country. We may criticize the law, I can criticize the law, I have problem with the Nigerian law. But you see it as the law. Ned kept to the law. Yul did not keep to the law. Yul violated that law. Yul is a coward. He knew he violated the law, so he went the court and lied.”
How responsible can a polygamous man be?
The divorce case has now become a focal point of public discourse, with many expressing their dismay at Yul’s apparent abandonment of his parental responsibilities. The situation has raised questions about the responsibilities and obligations of individuals who choose to engage in polygamous relationships, particularly when it comes to the welfare of their children.
As the divorce proceedings continue, the public eagerly awaits the resolution of this complex and emotionally charged case, which has thrust the issues of child support, polygamy, and familial responsibilities into the national spotlight.
Divorce Lawyer’s full statement
“Something else you people don’t understand but you got to understand now. Ned [Nwoko] is taking care of all his children, he’s paying their school fees, he’s feeding them. Yul is not doing that. Yul is not supporting his children as we speak. He’s not, at all.”
“Yul told his daughter that their mother is making more money than him now. Can you imagine? So you’re going into polygamy but you can’t take care of the children. You want to try polygamy?”
“So, please don’t compare the two [Ned Nwoko and Yul]. The reason nobody is criticising Ned is because he complies with the laws of the country. We may criticize the law, I can criticize the law, I have problem with the Nigerian law. But you see it as the law. Ned kept to the law. Yul did not keep to the law. Yul violated that law. Yul is a coward. He knew he violated the law, so he went the court and lied.”
“Why didn’t Yul stand firm in the court and say yes, I married her in accordance with the custom. Why didn’t Yul tell the judge what he tells May? Yul spent time trying to convince May’s children to accept polygamy. Quoting the Bible. Trying to use the Bible and convince his children like, ‘Oh we can be in one big family with Judy and May’. To re-engineer the children’s minds.”
