I was not consulted before Yul took his second wife – Pete Edochie

Iconic Nollywood legend Pete Edochie has shared his thoughts on his son, Yul’s marriage.

During a new interview with the popular Chude Jideownwo, he revealed that he was unaware that his son had taken a second wife.

When asked about his knowledge on the subject of Yul’s failing marriage to May, he stated that he does not involve himself in the lives of any of his five sons because they are adults.

The actor expressed that he was unaware of the troubles in his son’s marriage because he was not told, he simply found out suddenly. In his words, “First of all, Yul is 41 and I really don’t interfere in his affairs, no. Suddenly we heard he’s picked up a second wife. I have 5 sons, I don’t interfere with their lives you know. If they say ‘Daddy, so and so thing is happening’, good, if they don’t tell me, I don’t bother. If they tell me, beautiful. We just heard it and that’s it.”

To back up his point, the veteran cited an instance during which he was also unaware of what was going on in his sons’ lives.

Referring to when Yul ran for governorship, Edochie revealed that it was a third party who informed him of his son’s intentions because his son did not tell him.

Pete went on to express his love for Yul’s estranged wife, emphasising that she was much more than a daughter-in-law to him.

Praising her, he said “Mary is not just a daughter-in-law. I don’t want to say that I love Mary more than the other wives of my sons but the love I have for Mary is so strong. Mary is a girl I love to the marrow. By the way, she is a wonderful person. Mary is a very very brilliant girl. You may not know that. Mary is a computer wizard, that lady you’re looking at, right and to a very large extent, the success of that home is to Mary’s credit, yeah.”

He expressed his firm belief that her decision to leave Yul was a result of bad counseling and advice from people around her; adding that they do not have ‘happy homes’.

On the subject of marriage, the actor also expressed his disappointment that the marriages of his on-screen daughters like Ireti Doyle, Chioma Chukwuka, and Tonto Dikeh had fallen apart.

See the video below:

CHUDE: You didn’t know before he picked the wife up?

Accept broke men or put up with busy ones – Kanayo O. Kanayo tells ladies

Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has shared his thoughts on relationships and what women may need to consider when choosing a partner.

In a recent post on his Instagram page, he advised ladies to think carefully about their priorities and what they are willing to accept in a relationship.

Kanayo O. Kanayo suggested that women who are not willing to be with someone who is financially struggling may need to be prepared to date someone who is very busy and has limited time to devote to a relationship.

He presented this as a trade-off, implying that women may need to make a choice between these two options.

On his Instagram page, Kanayo wrote:

“The gentleman’s code: If you don’t want a man who is broke, you are going to have to put up with a busy one.”

In another news, Kanayo defends Davido amid backlash over economic comment.

In a recent interview, Davido advised African Americans against relocating to Africa, citing Nigeria’s dire economic conditions as a case study.

The statement has since ignited widespread criticism, with many calling for the musician to apologize.

However, Kanayo, currently in the UK, addressed the controversy in a video shared on Instagram, urging Nigerians to respect Davido’s right to free speech.

The veteran actor highlighted that Davido, despite his privileged background, made the comments out of concern for the average Nigerian.

Dismissing the demands for an apology, Kanayo said:

“Nigerians make una leave Davido alone about the comment he made; it’s freedom of speech and he made it in good faith. It is left for those in power to work harder to give us a better Nigeria. We need to build a better Nigeria,” he said partly.

“Some people say he should apologize; apologize for what? He’s a Nigerian and he made his statement in good faith. Those who criticize us wants the best out of us. Davido and his family can feed well but he speaks for other Nigerians who cannot,” he added.
