Actor Yul Edochie under fire for shading May Edochie
Popular Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has drawn social media attention with a recent Instagram post seemingly aimed at his estranged wife, May Edochie.
In his post, Yul suggested that his wife has spread numerous untrue statements about him, potentially to garner sympathy and further her own interests.
“There’s no lie they haven’t said about me just to draw pity and sell market,” Edochie wrote. He went on to speculate that accusations may even escalate to rumors about his personal life, writing, “They’ll soon say I’m a 40-second man.”
The post quickly generated reactions from fans and social media users, with many expressing frustration over Yul’s comments.
In response, one user, @OyeBeecee, stated, “I bet she doesn’t remember what you are like in bed,” while @Justlois_albert commented, “Oga, she doesn’t even talk about you.”
Another follower, @A_Kiiky, questioned Yul’s motives, saying, “No one is talking about you. I thought you’d found peace? Why are you so restless?”
Some comments went further, labeling Yul as attention-seeking. User @Soyoufoundadaobi speculated that the actor might be trying to preemptively address any claims from May.
Another user, @Glochic212, noted, “But May hasn’t even said anything yet; rather, it’s you and your ‘spiritual wife’ that have been doing all the talking on social media.”

How painkiller abuse damaged my kidney – Actress Ufuoma McDermott
Nollywood actress Ufuoma McDermott has opened up about her long-standing struggle with kidney disease, which she linked to prolonged use of painkillers.
In a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, she urged the public to make health a top priority, sharing insights from her personal journey.
McDermott, who has been managing kidney disease for over a decade, explained that her condition stemmed from her habitual use of strong painkillers to cope with persistent migraines and headaches.
“I grew up with migraines, headaches, and eyeaches,” she recounted. “I never wore my glasses because they made me look like a geek. I’d take strong painkillers to make the pain go away.”
Over time, the consistent drug use took a toll on her kidneys, leading to the chronic condition.
The actress shared that her family was further impacted when her brother was diagnosed with late-stage kidney disease, requiring immediate dialysis.
This spurred her to seek answers about potential genetic links. However, doctors traced both siblings’ kidney issues to a shared history of long-term painkiller use rather than heredity.
“I really wish everyone would understand the importance of health,” she advised, underscoring the need for public awareness on responsible medication use and regular health check-ups.
