Amid the ongoing social media turmoil involving Yul Edochie and his second spouse, Judy Austin, a lot of discussions have arisen concerning their marital union.
Uche Maduagwu, a renowned figure in the Nigerian film industry, has publicly praised Yul’s first partner, May Edochie. Uche credited May Edochie with bravely declining her husband’s decision to marry more than one wife.
He posted a video on his social media platform highlighting how May’s refusal of Yul’s second marriage proposal served as an inspiration for a lot of Nigerian women, empowering them to firmly oppose the practice of polygamy when confronted with it.
His post has also stirred up a wave of online support from sincere women who don’t want their husbands to enter into a polygamous marriage. It has served as a source of reminder for strengthening the institution of marriage between a man and a woman.
Additionally, he highlighted how May’s actions have empowered women to have the confidence to reject any situation that doesn’t bring them happiness in their marital unions.
The outspoken actor took a direct jab at Yul Edochie, pointing out that his first wife, now celebrated as a prominent figure, has surpassed his level of fame as a celebrity.
He said, “Truly, it is preferable for a man to put on women’s clothing and makeup rather than impregnating his colleague, proceeding to marry her secretly, and even paying her dowry without his wife’s knowledge.
May, your remarkable wisdom is evident in your decision to refrain from creating social media chaos, unlike some women who might have reacted differently.
Indeed, your remarkable spiritual growth deserves a round of applause. If you had embraced polygamy, you could have easily found yourself engaging in heated social media debates solely for the sake of gaining attention and generating content.
Remember that Uche Maduagwu has aligned himself with those Nigerians who have criticized Judy Austin for publicly mourning the loss of Yul Edochie’s son, Kambili, whom he had with his first wife, May.
In an Instagram post, Maduagwu highlighted the insensitivity of Judy’s action, emphasizing that her decision to share a post about May’s son, despite not being accepted as part of the family, was highly inappropriate.
According to him, if Judy truly considered herself a member of their family, she should have reached out to May privately to offer her condolences instead of resorting to a public post on Instagram.
