“God knows best” – Actress, Rita Edochie speaks amid Yul Edochie and first wife, May’s divorce rumours

Veteran Nollywood actress, Rita Edochie, has seemingly reacted to reports that Yul Edochie’s first wife, May, has filed for divorce.

It was earlier reported that May Edochie and her legal representative allegedly went to court on Monday, July 10, to file a petition to end her 18-year-long marriage to her husband, Yul. (Read here)

May and Yul have been at odds since he publicly announced his marriage to his colleague, Judy Austin, in April 2022, and welcomed a child with her.

At the time, May strongly disagreed with Yul’s decision to enter into a polygamous marriage, emphasizing that no one should be forced to accept it.

She acknowledged that certain religions and traditions permit polygamy, and while she respects those beliefs, she personally refuses to conform to a practice that contradicts her own faith and family values.

In an apparent reaction to reports that May was prepared to end her marriage to Yul, Rita Edochie, who is married to Yul’s uncle, took to her Instagram page to pray for her.

She reminisced about how the family used to be a peaceful unit of six, living happily before everything changed.

Rita Edochie prayed that God would protect May and her children, while noting that God knows what is best.

“They were six in this peaceful home father, mother and four lovely children enjoying their peacefully. Today, they are now four in the same home. God, please surround and protect the home both their going out and coming back. God almighty you know the best and your best is always the best. @mayyuledochie,” she wrote.

Almost a day after she shared the post and the event had ended, Daniel went online to respond to her request and explain why he didn’t honor her meet-up invite.

Between Toyin Abraham

According to him, he intentionally chose to snub her because he disapproves of her support for the ruling party despite the ENDSARs incident. He also maintained his earlier stance that the movie falls short of expectations.

He wrote,


“Hi @toyin_abraham1, I was repeatedly told u wanted to see me, but I chose to ignore cos while I respect u as an actress, u supporting this govt after the EndSARS protests, goes against everything I stand for. That said, “Ijakumo” movie was poorly written & directed. No offense.”

He said he knows he is a huge source of inspiration to younger artistes but they should do due diligence by contacting him first before sampling his song.

“Relocating will test you in different ways” – Nigerian man recounts challenging experience abroad that forced him and his wife to return home

A Nigerian man, identified as Shamseddin Giwa, has recounted how he and his wife were forced to return to their home country after relocating abroad in search of greener pastures.

In a candid social media post he titled “The Relocation Story You Don’t Get Told,” Giwa revealed that he and his wife had moved abroad years ago with high hopes of a brighter future.

However, their expectations were shattered as they encountered unforeseen challenges.

“This was us several years back as a young couple looking for better life abroad. The dream was good, the intentions were good and we had enough to start.

“We just didn’t have enough information of how challenging it would get. We started life in a single room within a shared flat where we even got told when we could use the washing machine or turn on the heater (even in winter).” He shared.

Speaking further, he noted that when things didn’t seem to get better, and it became difficult to live averagely they made the hard decision to return to Nigeria and start over.

“The jobs were demeaning and always tiring but the poor exchange rate of my home currency gave a false sense of deception that one was earning good but the reality was different. Even with both our incomes, it was difficult to live averagely. Note: we were way better than others here!

At least we were together but extreme work rota meant we barely got to spend time together, marriage strained. Now imagine many had their spouses back home and their marriages went through worse.

Always at the mercy of the home office that was always changing immigration policies, one never truly felt settled. In the end, we returned back home and quietly started over, together.” He added.

Reflecting on their experience years later, Giwa expressed gratitude for their decision to come back to Nigeria, as they have achieved everything they once sought abroad.

Advising those considering relocating abroad, Giwa stressed the importance of thorough research and having a solid exit plan in case things don’t go as planned.

“Now imagine many still stuck, illegally living, unable to work for standard rates, unable to even rent a place in their name, unable to open an account, unable to have peace of mind and always apprehensive of law enforcement, unable to grow yet unable to return home!

What’s the point? Relocating will test you and your marriage in different ways. Please be sure before you copy anyone and sell all you have to move. However, if you find yourself stuck, have a good exit plan even if it means coming back home to start over.

Many people and marriages are breaking due to the pressure unplanned. Don’t go this route, do your findings well, your home depends on it.” He wrote.

A Nigerian man, Shamseddin Giwa, who had been enduring hardship overseas with little to show for it, has narrated how he become wealthy after returning to Nigeria to hustle with his wife.

Taking to the microblogging platform, Twitter to share his story, he advised people not to waste time abroad if the plan was not working.

Giwa revealed that he and his wife had also moved overseas many years ago in quest of a better life. However, the jobs they got were demeaning and tiring as they still struggled to live an average life.

He pointed out that many other immigrants had it worse, with some having wives back home and experiencing even more problems in their relationships.

After thinking things through, the couple quietly came back to Nigeria to start life afresh and decades on, everything they sought abroad got handed to them back home.

He wrote;

“The relocation story you don’t get told.

This was us several years back as a young couple looking for better life abroad. The dream was good, the intentions were good and we had enough to start. We just didn’t have enough information of how challenging it would get.

We started life in a single room within a shared flat where we even got told when we could use the washing machine or turn on the heater (even in winter).

The jobs were demeaning and always tiring but the poor exchange rate of my home currency gave a false sense of deception that one was earning good but the reality was different. Even with both our incomes, it was difficult to live averagely. Note: we were way better than others here!

At least we were together but extreme work rota meant we barely got to spend time together, marriage strained. Now imagine many had their spouses back home and their marriages went through worse.

Always at the mercy of the home office that was always changing immigration policies, one never truly felt settled. In the end, we returned back home and quietly started over, together.

Decades on, everything we sought abroad got handed to us back home! AlhamduliLlaah.

Now imagine many still stuck, illegally living, unable to work for standard rates, unable to even rent a place in their name, unable to open an account, unable to have peace of mind and always apprehensive of law enforcement, unable to grow yet unable to return home!

What’s the point? Relocating will test you and your marriage in different ways. Please be sure before you copy anyone and sell all you have to move. However, if you find yourself stuck, have a good exit plan even if it means coming back home to start over.

Many people and marriages are breaking due to the pressure unplanned. Don’t go this route, do your findings well, your home depends on it.”

“I never watched you or copied your style in BBNaija house” – Phyna tells White Money

Big Brother Naija star, Phyna, has claimed that during her time on the show, she never embraced the style or strategy of her colleague, White Money.

In an interview with the ‘Shine Ya Eye’ winner, Hazel Onoduenyi popularly known as Whitemoney on Xm Base Sparks, the former hype priestess said that she had to try out for the reality TV program five times before she was chosen.

He had questioned Phyna about rumors that she had adopted his phrase “Who dey” during her season, but she had shot it down, claiming that she doesn’t watch Big Brother any year she isn’t picked and that, coincidentally, she didn’t enter the house during his season, so she couldn’t have copied him.

White Money stated; “I heard that you kind of used my script in the [Big Brother] House. There is a certain aspect of me that you inherited and used to spice up your own game. And it worked for you.”

Phyna replied;

“I have been auditioning for Big Brother for about five years. Four years before the fifth year last year [when I was selected]. Any year they don’t pick me, I don’t watch Big Brother. I don’t even want to know anything about it. I’m always jealous.

So, when I was in the [Big Brother] House and I said, ‘Who deyyyy?….’ I was angry that day. It’s something I always say. It’s just part of me. So, I said that. And one day, one of the housemates was like, ‘Whitemoney used to say this ‘Who deyyy?’ in the House. You’re copying him.’

I’m like, really? I didn’t know o because I didn’t watched [Big Brother Naija Season 6]. And she was like, no, you’re copying him. And I was like, anyways, as long as he win, you say I dey copy abi? Ehnn, make e still work for me.”

Johnny Drille reveals the death of Don Jazzy’s mum inspired his hit song ‘How Are You My Friend’

Popular Nigerian singer, John Ighodaro, professionally known as Johnny Drille, has revealed the inspiration for his popular song “How Are You My Friend.”

Speaking in a recent interview with Hip TV, he stated that the death of Don Jazzy’s mother inspired the hit song.

According to him, the song was Don Jazzy’s concept and they composed it together.

He said;

“I guess the song was his own way of talking about it because a lot of people were reaching out to him who he hadn’t heard from in years.

So, it just kind of hit him that, ‘Omo, I actually have these many pals that I have not communicated with for so long.’

I believe we are also living in perilous times. The economy is insane. Many folks are struggling. Many people are going through problems in their lives that they may not always feel comfortable disclosing. And I suppose that’s why people were able to connect with the song.”

According to him, these outlandish monetary demands are not only from Nigerians but also from people from other countries.

He then appealed to online beggars to understand that celebrities also have responsibilities and urged them to stop with their monetary requests.

His words,

“This is getting out of hand. How can you people turn my DM to Bank of Industry?. If I open my DM is always ‘’Oga please, please, please’ Jesus! It is too much. The way you guys beg it is like we do not have responsibilities. If I start to share the money like that it will finish.

Imagine somebody was begging me for $35, 000. That is how much in Naira? Approximately twenty something Million. Another one was asking me for $12, 000 that he wants to open a shop. The problem is even that it is not just Nigerians.”
