Okay. let me partially agree with you that the same Pete Edochie that started acting at the age of 15 and became famous in the early 1980s (right before some us here were born), was poor and broke.

I also don't want to believe that you are anything below 40-50 years. That is the only way your narration would make sense. You cant be in your early 30s for example and know so much about Pete or Yul's childhood.

Great biography overall. Now tell us about the lady. Because the only way your story will completely make sense in the context of my opinion is to tell us that the lady was a Senator's daughter in Enugu.

You can't marry into a civil service/famous actor's family in that age and time and claim anything close to poor unless you are a senator's daughter yourself.

You guys should quit trying to paint the "I suffered with you" narrative. Yul cheated and got himself a second wife. Castigate him on that basis and quit trying to use "I suffered with you". That is my opinion and your childhood experiences with him (assuming you're being truthful) cannot change that.

Funny how people still believe some "grass-2-grace" celebrity stories online.

If Yul, a son to a famous Nigerian actor, could be broke during his undergraduate years, so what then should we and many other Nigerian students say?

Yul was never broke and Yul's 1st wife did not marry into a broke family.

What exactly are you talking about? Is Pete Edochie rich?? No be yesterday Kanayo build house? Tony Umez is still living in a rented property till date. Didn’t some other old actors die of sicknesses?

There was no money in acting (and entertainment) of the old! They were at best comfortable like an average family.

Fame isn’t equal to wealth!

Now you guys are twisting in all angles to refute the grass to grace story. Do you know his father more than him? Same Yul that celebrated Pete on father’s day saying he didn’t have more than 5 pair of trousers while they were growing up. Abeg rest!!

He has given us (women) a lot of food for thought. Me, I just can't get over the fact that he wasn't in love with May but had 4 kids with her. Why not stop after a boy and a girl?

The lack of a male child is not even the issue. If all his kids with May were female, I may reason that the quest for a male child drove his actions.

I know a woman who married as a virgin, at some point in her marriage she was treating herself for gonorrhea and she never cheated in that marriage. Her hubby cheated and infected her with it.

It's like our feelings and well being truly do not matter to Naija men once they marry you. Marriage to a Nigerian man is becoming less and less attractive, with the kind of stories you hear online and offline.

That is not to say men of other nationalities are any better, but kai our men are something else, extremely selfish and insensitive.

I believed that he loved the first wife.. I will never doubt it but he doesn't respect her.. Love and respect are two different things... If he respects her, he will put her feelings into consideration before jumping into bed with another woman..

Honestly, marriage is not a rosy affairs especially when one is the type that honours contract..... When u vow that it's her till death, then self control should be the key and saving grace... It's only God and body discipline that makes one achieve self-control..

In this Yul situation,I dislike it when people act like it wasn't a big deal considering the generation we are in today.. A lot of people don't practice polygamy anymore, and it insults my sensibility when they start quoting scriptures to justify that... We should ask ourselves how many centuries ago was this practice...

I still believe that there are lots of good Nigerian men out there who still love their wife and can do anything for them.. I still believe that blanket approach that men doesn't care much to an isolated situation like these, is not the key...

Yul made his decision and that to me is a one man decision... There are billions of men who will never dream of doing what he did.. one woman is more than enough for me thank you.. not to talk of adding her kind at home..Mba!!..Thank you...
The question I would have loved to ask is, what's their living situation at the moment? Has the 2nd wife moved in or is she still maintaining her old house.. this is just double wahala Yul honestly

MadamVanessa:



YUL informed his wife about his decision to take another wife, the wife is just a jealous person that doesn't want to share his man with any woman. For the fact that Yul wife commented in the post " God will judge you people" doesn't mean that the husband didn't informed him of his intention to take another, maybe she didn't agree, and majority of women wouldn't have subscribed to it.

No generation has lived the best of time. As far as I know, Nollywood actors of those days on the average weren't poor in their time.

Chiquitq:
I don't blame Yul at all. I blame the hypocrites in our society. The so called second wife was having an affair with a married man and she has friends and relatives that were comfortable with it. I am sure there were women present when the bride price was paid. There would be friends who would continue to be her friends. None of the women in the above categories want such for themselves or their daughters. Even the thief called Mercy Aigbe made a pose that she would shoot whoever came for her husband.
It is this society that trivialises such vices. In the olden days, polygamy might have thrived but in modern society, it is betrayal and only condoned by shallow people.
The nature of man is so selfish. Even Yul would not allow his daughter to be a second wife if he had a daughter. He and Mercy Aigbe should be so cancelled, they would not come out of it.

cococandy:

I guess the point is that no matter what you do as a woman, a man that will treat you bad will treat you bad and you as a woman will be blamed for it. There’s no way to be a good woman. Not for Nigerian guys anyway. The olosho gold diggers are happily married and the good wives are being doormats.
It doesn’t matter if you’re independent or dependent.

But it helps to be independent because you can walk away. Imagine if she’s dependent on him for food and clothing and he’s doing all this? Na for gutter she for dey now

Yul definitely wasn't where he wanted to be at the time he got married. That's not the definition of being broke.

If Yul's dream of becoming Nigeria's president gets actualized tomorrow, he will come out again with stories about how his second wife agreed to marry him when he had "nothing."

Yul was never broke and Yul's 1st wife did not marry into a broke family.

There was no free money anywhere in the past but an acting MD of a broadcasting station and actor was nowhere close to a poor man in that generation.

Things have always looked better for him than the average Nigerian. At least, he had millions to secure his release in 2008 from kidnappers' den in Onitsha.

so he’s a liar? Because that’s his own words.

You’re something else. Bending yourself into a pretzel to avoid calling a spade a spade

descarado:

Peter edochie was an average white collar man back in the days. Yul that his dad paid the dowry for him?

You know nothing about that family so zip it.

And yes, charity begins at home. Yul is from anambra. Anambra people frown on polygamy. Anambra is mostly Catholic. You are nothing if your local church don't recognise you.

Since you know too much, I will ask you to do your research on the owner of whiz oil.
Clue, he was once a billionaire. Has multiple wives and how he ended.

Chiquitq:

What do you mean by saying the wife is just a jealous woman?
You are the type to be dreaming of making other people's husband's your own. Your life goal instead of focusing on your English. Might be you are from such background where sleeping with other people's husbands is condoned and sought after.

dominique:


Nollywood actors were far from rich during Pete Edochie's era. He was famous alright but stupendously rich? Far from it. He may not even be earning up to 200k per movie at that point in time. Yul is one of his five or six kiddy, you think Pete was submitting his less than 200k paycheck in the hands of one of his youngest kids? Even if he was so rich when he married his wife, does that justify what he did to her?

You men think women's feelings are not to be considered then go ahead and expect loyalty and submission for the women you disregard so much. Thank God eyes don dey open, you people will continue to wail about how today's women no longer want to suffer like your mothers. In fact you never start to dey wail

Acidosis:


Okay. Average white collar man?? So how's your opinion different from mine, exactly?


By the way, I'm surprised you had to bring tribe into this. So far, Yul is not Kunle, Tunde, or Abiodun so there hasn't been any reason so far to lash out at any tribe. We all know what people like you would say if Yul was a Yoruba man.

So please zip it in too. I am not blaming Yul or any other Anambra man for what they choose to do with the gbola. He won't be the first and the last Igbo or Anambra man to cheat.
