IBADAN, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- May Yul-Edochie have reacted after Yul Edochie notified the public that they live together in their mansion located at Ajah, amid their ongoing polygamy saga.
Recall that in April this year, Yul announced he has picked actress Judy Moghalu as his second wife and that they already have a son together.
Following his secret marriage, his relationship with his first wife became strained as she stated several times that she wasn’t a party to being in a polygamous marriage especially with her religion.
However, the Nollywood actor surprised many Nigerians when he showed up to his first wife’s birthday party, giving some fans hope that they have reconciled.
A blogger, Linda Ikeji, had published Judy Austin’s birthday message to her senior wife, May.
The blogger had referred to May as an estranged wife which didn’t sit well with the actor.
Correcting her, Yul Edochie stated that though he had lots of respect for the blogger, she should have verified the information before publishing.
Schooling her on what estranged means, Yul added that he and his wife are both living in the same house in their mansion in Ajah.
“Linda, you know I have a lot of respect for you. This your caption no get naa. Estranged wife means a wife who is no longer living with the husband. Both of us are still living in the same house in our mansion in Ajah. So how is she estranged? Peter Obi will always say ‘go and verify’. You didn’t verify this one before writing Linda.”
Reacting to the actor’s statement, May on Saturday, said she had a stable and loving home prior to the unprecedented events regarding her marriage.
She stated that polygamy is a life choice and that no one should be compelled to accept it.
The mum of four stressed that some religions and traditions allow polygamy and that she has nothing against it but that as a person she will not be numbered or cajoled to accept a practice that does not align with her faith and family values.
She wrote: “The ability to accept or tolerate challenges and problems in life is a virtue, and should not be misconstrued.
There is no point making an already bad situation worse, hence the need to remain calm is crucial.
I understand that we all have our weaknesses and limitations as humans, and I personally believe everyone deserves an opportunity to make things right when they stray… Forgiveness is devine.
“Beyond all the unnecessary facades, Polygamy is a life choice and no one should be compelled to accept it. It is something I think all parties involved should embrace willingly, and it’s okay for anyone who chooses it.
“Some religions|traditions allow polygamy and I have nothing against it. However, I am ABSOLUTELY certain that I will not be NUMBERED as a wife or be cajoled to accept a practice that does not align with my faith and family values.
“God blessed me with a happy, peaceful, and lovely family in a beautiful and JOINTLY built “mansion” that started from little or nothing…humble beginnings. What more could I have been asking for? I had a stable and loving home prior to the unprecedented events regarding my marriage.
Life is made up of an infinite amount of choices. Most decisions might be tough to make, but whenever we confront our options with courage and confidence, we should equally be open to the paths of our own design.
“I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought that comes with it in our lifetime.
We should understand that taking life changing decisions hastily is not the best. God in His infinite mercy fixes things in His own time, He will definitely answer all our prayers.
Thank you all for your continuous prayers, love and support. May God bless you abundantly.”
