Nollywood Actor, Yul Edochie Reveals Why He Stopped Posting His Children With Estranged Wife, May On Social Media

Nollywood actor and filmmaker Yul Edochie has dismissed claims suggesting a strained relationship with his three children from his estranged wife, May Edochie.

Yul, in an interview on the KaaTruths podcast, clarified that he has a cordial relationship with his other children.

Yul revealed that failure to post the children on social media is because of a court order barring him from doing so, due to his ongoing divorce case with his estranged wife.

The movie star emphasised that he is still in contact with his children and often fulfill his financial obligations.

Yul also disclosed that he recently chatted with his son, who informed him about his matriculation into a university, but he could not attend the event because he was not informed in time.

He said, “The reason why I don’t post anything about my kids with May is not because I don’t have a good relationship with them but because there’s a court order that says we must stop posting our kids.

“The fact of the matter is that I’m still in contact with my children and I still send my son money through their mother.” 

When asked if he was honest with his estranged wife during their marriage, Yul said, “The main issue is not on social media.

“I would rather not say anything. I don’t want to say my ex-wife did this, my ex-wife did that. Real men don’t tackle issues like that. It is all family stuff , nobody is perfect.”

Why I Don’t Accept Kissing Roles – Nollywood Actress, Juliana Olayode Reveals (Video)

Juliana Olayode, the Nollywood actress, has addressed the rumour swirling about her within the entertainment industry.

In a video shared on her Instagram page on February 5, 2026, the actress said she usually ignores online talk but felt pushed to speak after recent stories affected her emotionally.

She described the rumours as harmful and questioned why people choose to spread untrue stories about others.

Juliana, who became popular for her role as Toyosi, also known as Toyo Baby, in the television series Jenifa’s Diary, is also known for openly talking about her Christian faith and how it guides her lifestyle and career decisions.

Addressing the rumours, she made it clear that she has no issue working with anyone in the film industry.

According to her, she is willing to collaborate with any producer or director as long as the script and her character do not go against her personal beliefs.

She also restated her position on intimate scenes, explaining that she does not kiss in movies because of her faith.

She added that while people are free to dislike her, judge her acting, or choose not to work with her, spreading lies about her is wrong and painful.

Juliana said that her boundaries on screen are not new, as she has previously turned down roles that clash with her values.

She explained that her beliefs have continued to guide the type of projects she accepts in her acting career.

She said: “So I want to clear the air. There is absolutely NO producer or director I cannot work with. None. I am open and willing to work with anyone, as long as the story and my role do not go against my consecration to God.”

“It is true that I wouldn’t kiss in movies.”

“It’s okay if you don’t like me. It’s okay if you say I’m not a good actor; it’s okay if you don’t want to work with me. But lying about me is deeply wrong and hurtful.”

This came less than an hour after actor Stanley Ontop raised the alarm over an alleged plan to re-arrest the actress after release on Tuesday.

Speaking in a video on Instagram, actress Doris Ogala who said she is already on her way to the police station, stated that the actress was re-arrested by an unnamed Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, for refusing to pay the N5 million agreed fee to secure her bail.

Doris said; “You see, one thing is for someone to cut their clothes according to their size. Angela has been arrested again. As a matter of fact, I’m going to the police station now. You see, when Angela was arrested by Mercy, she called a friend of her or village person. I don’t know how they relate. To help her get a SAN.

“And the SAN charged them N5 million. I think the SAN was the one who even facilitated the bail and all that. Now when Angela knew that they have granted her bail according to the lady, Angela started saying that she didn’t ask her to get a SAN and she wasn’t going to pay the money, and meanwhile this lady has deposited.”

Recall that Angela, who was granted bail on Friday after her arrest by Mercy Johnson over alleged defamation, regained her freedom few minutes ago after perfecting her bail conditions.

How Nigerian Artists Can Improve Their Chances Of Winning Grammys – DJ Big N

Nonso Temisan Ajufo, the Mavin Records DJ, who is popularly known as DJ Big N, has urged Nigerian artists to take steps to boost their chances of winning at the Grammy Awards.

Recall that Nigerian singers Davido,  Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Omah Lay, and Wizkid lost to South African star Tyla in the Best African Music Performance category at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday.

Reacting via his X page on Monday, DJ Big N claimed that the poor outing for Nigerian musicians at the Grammy’s was due to their lack of involvement in American music seminars and events.

He urged them to emulate multiple Grammy-winning Beninese singer, Angelique Kidjo by participating in American music events more and getting involved in the Grammy decision-making process.

He wrote, “It stings deeply that so many talented Nigerians were nominated but didn’t bring the Grammy home this time. But here’s the truth, Legends like @angeliquekidjo and @YoussouNdourSN have shown us the power of being involved beyond just the award night.

“She [Kidjo] is at those seminars, those events, making her presence felt. If we want to change the game, we’ve got to do the same. Let’s step up, join the @RecordingAcad voting body and be part of the process all year long. That’s how we truly make our mark. Better luck next year, but let’s also be there to shape it.”
