Yul Edochie’s ex-wife May Yul-Edochie took to Instagram to sing a beautiful birthday song for her ex-father-in-law, who is no other person but Nollywood legend Pete Edochie.
At the end of her song, May Yul-Edochie proceeded to shower her ex-father-in-law with beautiful praises in Igbo language.
In her caption, May Yul-Edochie wrote, “ 77 isn’t just a regular celebration, it signifies a celebration of happiness referred to as kiju. Today we celebrate a great man who is very well-decorated, a father to many, and loved by all. May you continue to age gracefully to the glory of God.”
The time and effort May Yul-Edochie dedicated to making the video in honor of Pete Edochie shows that she truly values him, and even though she is no longer married to his son, it didn’t stop her from honoring him on his birthday.
May Yul-Edochie must be made of a different stock because it is rare to see someone celebrating their ex-father-in-law.
Also, the reason May’s case is peculiar is how she and Yul Edochie got divorced. It happened after Yul Edochie got his fellow actress Judy Austin pregnant, and proceeded to move in with her. Since then, Yul and Judy are involved in much public deceitfulness, with Yul even proceeding to open a church.
Throughout the whole divorce saga, May Yul-Edochie displayed a high level of calm that earned her respect among Nigerians. To date, netizens are willing to defend her name, especially against Judy Austin.
She got a lot of positive reactions from netizens, following her post dedicated to Pete Edochie.
“Wow… This is the most beautiful birthday celebration I have ever seen. My respect for you just went up.”
