Veteran actor, Pete Edochie, has broken his silence regarding his son Yul Edochie’s recent divorce from his first wife, May.
In an interview with the media, Pete Edochie revealed that he had no knowledge of Yul’s subsequent marriage to his second wife, Judy Austin.
He emphasized his principle of refraining from meddling in his children’s personal lives.
Pete Edochie commended May’s exceptional qualities, describing her as a brilliant young woman with a knack for computers.
Among the daughters-in-law in his family, she held a special place in his heart, earning the status of his favorite.
Reflecting on Yul’s union with Judy Austin, he employed an Igbo adage to convey his perspective, likening the act to bringing ant-infested wood home from the farm, an open invitation for unwelcome guests.
In heartfelt admiration of May, Pete Edochie expressed a lasting affection for her, viewing her not only as a daughter-in-law but as his own daughter.
He attributed much of the success in Yul’s previous marriage to May’s influence and contribution.
He cautioned against misguided advice, asserting that those who dispense such counsel often lack stable homes themselves.
See the reactions the video stirred online
@anezi: “See how he spoke about May….. the success of That home was to May’s credit. See how this father-in-law spoke so beautifully about his Daughter in law.”
@srigeorgeom: “It Takes A Lot For A Father In Law To Be This Honest. He Knows That His Son F Up.”
@j.scents_more: “I worked for May and Yul at their first store at Sangote when she was selling wine and clothes. I lived with them at Crown Estate Ajah, for a fact, that woman is intelligent. She does her kids home work her self, the day she drew Nigerian coat of arms for her son, I respected her. Mama knows computer like her palm.”
@ogamaestro: “He said Mary is being wrongly advised and absolved his son of any blame. “My son could have” no “My son is responsible” no. Blame everyone but the son. Gotta love African parents.”
@levinahairclub: “People want him to abuse Yul publicly, No . Yul remains his son, right now he is prodigal and that is what prayer will solve, he is a man and men don’t talk anyhow, you people should read between the lines, the praise he gave May though guarded is powerful, the success of the marriage , he attributed to her.”
@uchayude: “He probably wants May to hang in there and fight for her home instead of leaving her home for Judy.”
@__amaka.onwe: “The success of that home is credited to May, I pray the love and sacrifices you make never be returned back to you with a slap!”
@thembi5103: “Yul has show that no matter how well a child is trained, he can decide to be a nuisance after leaving the parents house..yul will definitely regret his actions but then it too late already, his internet shenanigans is so hard to ignore.”
