Frank Edoho Scandal: Yul Edochie Tells Men to Walk Away from Cheating Wives

Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has weighed in on the topic of infidelity in relationships and marriages, urging men not to forgive cheating women. Yul on his X handle advised men to leave their relationships once they find out their partner is unfaithful. He stressed that failure to do this will make a man appear weak, strongly speaking against negotiating, condoning, or discussing the matter with the spouse or the other party involved. Yul also claimed that men who choose to stay will eventually regret it, adding that the woman will deal with him eventually. He wrote: “Once you find out your wife is cheating on you, leave her immediately. Men, stop tolerating nonsense in the name of marriage. Don’t negotiate anything with her. Don’t condone. Don’t discuss with her boyfriend. Let her go quickly. And move on. If you forgive her and continue, you have confirmed to her that you’re a weak man. Danger looms for you. That decision will come back to haunt you later. Women deal mercilessly with weak men.”

Yul made his latest remark in the wake of the marriage scandal of popular media personality, Frank Edoho. The controversy began after Edoho confirmed a two-year separation from his estranged wife, Sandra Onyenucheya. Tensions escalated following a leaked phone conversation and online rumours linking Sandra to Nigerian singer-songwriter Chike. Sandra later made allegations of domestic abuse, infidelity, and financial misconduct against Edoho, sharing photos of alleged injuries and private chat logs online. In response, Edoho denied the allegations, calling them “false” and misleading. He stated: “Let me state, clearly and unequivocally, that the allegations made against me are false. I have chosen to address these issues through the appropriate legal channels, where facts, not noise, will prevail.”

However, Yul’s post did not resonate with many netizens. Critics referenced Yul’s infidelity to his first wife, May Edochie, stressing that the actor is not in a position to give such advice. One user wrote: “But you were cheating with Mr Obasi’s wife, oga enter house abeg.” Another said: “Everyone can speak on this topic, certainly not you. It’s the balls to insert yourself when all fingers are pointing at you for committing same sin.” “That’s why May left you naw. She discovered you were cheating on her with a married woman and she left you. See who dey give advise,” another user wrote. “What a time to be alive. Thank God May left you,” a user added. Another comment read: “See who is preaching about infidelity? The double standards ehn.” “You cheated on your wife with a married woman. You are the reason a married woman left her husband. You broke a man’s home,” one user wrote. “But you were begging your ex-wife to take you back after cheating and impregnating your side chick. You’re a hypocrite,” another stated. One user asked pointedly: “Is Judy dealing with you already? Obviously, you didn’t experience this with your ex.”

In a separate development, Obasi Emmanuel, Judy Austin’s ex-husband, has countered Yul Edochie’s marriage advice. Obasi, who has accused Yul of snatching Judy from him, said in a Facebook post: “If your only option is to run to another woman when you feel disrespected, you will build three football teams, including the fans, in your lifetime in the name of marriage.” While stating that a real man’s strength lies in his ability to manage a woman’s excesses, Obasi wrote: “Keep shouting, ‘Your respect as a man is non-negotiable.’ If you can’t take or control a woman’s excesses, you are not yet a man; you’re a boy. So you have to be very careful.”

This is not the first time Yul has offered strong advice to men. In April 2026, he urged Nigerian men to leave marriages or relationships in which they are not valued. He expressed that respect for men in marriage is essential and must not be undermined. According to the actor, men who experience disrespect from their wives or girlfriends should terminate the relationship at once. “Men stop tolerating nonsense in the name of marriage or relationship. If your wife or girlfriend doesn’t respect you, dump her immediately and get someone who respects you,” he said.

Yul’s personal life has been a subject of public scrutiny since April 2022. He introduced actress Judy Austin as his second wife while still legally married to May Edochie. In 2023, May Edochie filed for divorce, accusing Yul of adultery and seeking ₦100 million in damages from Judy Austin. The controversy has only intensified public scrutiny of the actor, given his own widely publicized marital issues. Social media users continue to debate the validity of Yul’s advice. Supporters argue that his message about leaving a cheating spouse is valid regardless of his past. Others maintain that the actor should not be the one to preach about infidelity, given his personal history. The backlash has flooded his comment section with users expressing mixed opinions.
