Maybe Yul should become Muslim to silence critics – Elder brother

Uche Edochie and his brother

Uche Edochie, an ultra-contemporary artist has broken his silence on the trending second marriage of his younger brother, Yul Edochie.

The contemporary painter, in a lengthy post on his Instagram page, explained the family was shocked with the news of Yul’s marriage to a second wife with whom he has a new born.

He however said he is an adult who has complete responsibility for his actions.

He empathised with sister-in-law, May, Yul’s first wife noting his younger brother’s decision to marry a second wife was totally unfair because she never signed up for polygamy.

He however said the family is trying their possible best to placate her.

He began: “Hello guys. So my younger brother Yul Edochie just married a second wife out of the blue and Nigerians are freaking out. I get it. We are all shocked. I am a low key type of guy and I have tried to mind my own business but this circus is chasing me around too. So here is my take.

He added: “The second issue is that Yul is not a Muslim. If he was a Muslim, no one will be talking about this. Muslims marry as many wives as they want and nobody says shit. Traditional rulers and traditionalists of sorts do the same thing too and the Nigerian constitution recognizes polygamy as a legal marital union. Maybe we should burn that bloody constitution.

“We told Yul not to do it. He did it anyway. Have you ever tried controlling an adult when it comes to relationships? Good luck with that. Yul is an adult who feels marrying a second woman is the best way to own up to his mistakes and make things right. It took a lot of courage for him to do this too.”

Uche Edochie went on to urge people to quit acting the ‘judge’ arguing being famous wasn’t a walk in the park as most persons would certainly impregnate more than five women if they ever had to walk in his younger brother’s shoes in just a period of one year.

“A Muslim marries two or more wives and his people throw a party. Totally normal. A Christian does the same thing and he is the worst human being alive. It is tough. Women throw themselves at famous people so bad that it is suffocating. If the average person walks in Yul’s shoes for one year, they will get five or more women pregnant. So don’t be quick to judge if you have not lived that life. Most people will do worse”, he said.

Furthermore, the elder son of iconic Pete Edochie celebrated the birth of the new baby from Yul’s second wife while he proposed his brother became a Muslim in order to hush critics completely.

“So this is Yul’s new baby with his new wife. Beautiful boy. Children are a gift from God. It is the circumstances of their birth that gets us all riled up about what’s right and wrong. I wish them all luck. Maybe Yul should become a Muslim and shut this circus down. It is said that life is what happens when we are making other plans. I was minding my own business. And now this. Fantastic”, Uche Edochie added.

Allwell Ademola’s Death: Laide Bakare Condemns Colleagues’ TikTok Activity

Nollywood actress Laide Bakare has criticised some of her colleagues and fans for creating social media content following the death of fellow actress Allwell Ademola, expressing shock and disappointment over how the tragedy is being handled online.

Bakare, in an emotional post shared on Instagram, lamented that some individuals were active on platforms such as TikTok, playing games and collecting virtual gifts just hours after Ademola’s passing.

“The way fans and colleagues are creating content with the passing of our dear sister is really sad. God is watching everyone. Rest well, Allwell,” Bakare wrote.

She added that she was particularly disturbed that some of Ademola’s close associates remained active on TikTok despite the tragic news.

“Still in shock, some of her very close pals were even open on TikTok yesterday, doing tap tap, busy playing games and collecting gifts. Haaaa! Aiye le oo!” she said.

Bakare’s remarks came amid an outpouring of tributes from colleagues and fans following the announcement of Allwell Ademola’s death. Another actor, Alesh Sanni, had earlier raised similar concerns, questioning the sincerity of some public condolences and highlighting inconsistencies in how support is displayed during moments of grief.

As previously reported, Allwell Ademola, aged 49, died after suffering a heart attack on December 27, 2025.

Her family has since expressed appreciation for the messages of condolence and support received from the public, adding that details of her burial arrangements would be announced in due course.

Carter Efe Slams Peller’s Suicide Attempt, Urges Him Back to Streaming After Jarvis Breakup

Popular Nigerian streamer Carter Efe has publicly appealed to his colleague, Peller, to return to work and stop isolating himself following his painful breakup with Jarvis.

The 20-year-old content creator has been largely absent from social media since the split, which reportedly preceded a deliberate car accident on December 14 that left him hospitalised. Before the incident, Peller had shared a distressing video online in which he expressed suicidal thoughts, raising serious concerns among fans and fellow creators.

During a recent livestream, Carter Efe criticised Peller’s decision to contemplate ending his life over a relationship, urging him to refocus on his streaming career and re-engage with his audience. He advised Peller to stop withdrawing from public life and instead channel his energy back into productive work.

Carter Efe also referenced the experience of the wife of late musician Mohbad, encouraging Peller to learn resilience and move forward despite personal loss. Speaking partly in pidgin, the streamer stressed that heartbreak should not derail one’s life or career, insisting that returning to work could aid Peller’s recovery.

The incident has reignited conversations around mental health awareness, the pressures faced by young entertainers, and the need for stronger support systems within Nigeria’s digital creator community.

If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, please seek immediate help from a trusted person or a mental health professional.
