He said that he had to stop and enroll in a degree program at Delta State University after a prominent actor advised him to do so.

The comedian stated this during an open discussion with Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo. He stated that this decision ultimately led to his great comedy career.

He said:“I was doing all that it takes to get into the entertainment space. And somewhere along the line, I started working with NNPC Junior Staff Club as a bartender.

“That was what inspired my series, ‘Call To Bar.’ Everything around me; my stories, and my movies are all inspired by my experiences.

“When I was working as a bartender, I would see a lot of people the likes of Alex O and Shina Peters coming to perform. I would say to myself that someday, somehow, somewhere, sometime in life, I’m going to get into the entertainment space.
So, there was one time that I approached RMD when he came, a long time ago. We were talking and he advised me to go back to school. He said, ‘Education is important. Afterward, trust me, all these things would follow.’

“So, that was how I gained admission into Delta State University to study Theatre Arts.”

May Edochie’s laywer explains her co-parenting with Yul, clarifies Judy Austin’s role

Emeka Ugwuonye, the legal representative of May Edochie, has addressed the co-parenting arrangement between May Edochie and her estranged husband, Yul Edochie.

In a recent Instagram post, Ugwuonye emphasised that co-parenting is not just a moral obligation but a legal requirement for the estranged couple, given their shared children.

According to the lawyer, effective co-parenting demands cooperation and communication between May and Yul Edochie, despite their personal differences.

He revealed that the couple is co parenting effectively, stating that Yul is providing financial support for the children’s education and having unrestricted access to them.

Ugwuonye attributed the negative online reactions to ignorance about what co-parenting entails, stressing that both May and Yul have no choice but to work together for the sake of their children, as it is a legal requirement.

He also addressed speculations about Judy Austin’s involvement in the children’s lives, stating that she has no legal relationship with them currently. However, if she marries Yul, she would become the children’s stepmother.

The lawyer concluded by dismissing public opinion as irrelevant, emphasising that the law governs co-parenting arrangements, not public perception.

“Yes, May and Yul have children together. They will co-parent. Why is that driving anybody crazy? Yul and May are already co-parenting right now, that is the only way it can work. Yul is contributing to the children’s school fees and supporting them as well, so he has unlimited access to the kids. That is what co-parenting entails. If they do not speak to each other, they cannot co-parent effectively.

“Because many of the supporters on both sides are ignorant, they do not understand the fact that both May and Yul have no other choice over the matter: they have to co-parent.

“Now, as for Judy, she is not in any legal relationship with May’s children. There is no basis for any cooperation between May and Judy. However, if Judy eventually gets married to Yul, that will make her a stepmother to May’s children with Yul.”
