Yul Edochie Calls For Privacy In Family Matters, Slams Public Criticism
Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has called for the resolution of family conflicts within private settings, labeling public criticism of relatives as a sign of weakness.
His remarks come in the wake of a public disagreement with his brother, Linc Edochie, concerning Yul's marriage to his second wife, Judy Austin.
In an Instagram post on November 7, 2024, Yul emphasized the importance of preserving family unity and handling disputes discreetly. He wrote, "Never castigate your family in public. Never. That’s the sign of a weak person. Since you don’t know, let me educate you. You no dey see Davido and his uncle? Once you see them in public, they are hugging, dancing, and happy. Any matter wey dey na inside house dem dey treat am."
The actor urged his followers not to succumb to external pressures to criticize family members publicly, suggesting such actions often stem from jealousy and insecurity.
He added, "Don’t let haters push you into castigating your family. That’s a sign of weakness and jealousy. Family matter na inside house dem dey treat am. The stupid person that sat you down to discuss your family, tell him to discuss his own family first."
In a follow-up post, Yul further stressed the need for discretion, writing, "When people ask you about your family, tell them to mind their business. Great people don’t castigate their family, their brother, sister, parents, children, etc., in public. Na small-minded people dey do am. No matter the pressure. Family stays together."
This statement appears to be a response to Linc Edochie’s comments during a recent appearance on Kanayo O. Kanayo’s show, where he urged Yul to avoid sharing details of his marital issues on social media.
The public exchange between the Edochie brothers has sparked conversations about family dynamics and the role of privacy in resolving conflicts.
