In his post, Yul pointed out that many of the critics are individuals who have faced their own struggles in relationships, including divorces. He questioned their credibility and dismissed their advice, stating that their opinions do not concern him. Yul emphasized that whether he shares his marriage a million times, it is nobody else’s business, and he will continue to do so as he sees fit.
The actor also highlighted the hypocrisy that surrounds public figures, pointing out that Nigerians often only express admiration at funerals or after someone’s death. He expressed frustration over how people are quick to celebrate others when they are no longer alive, yet fail to support them when they are happy and living. Yul’s message was clear: the happiness of others, especially when shared publicly, tends to upset some people, and he is not backing down from sharing his joy with the world.
Taking his frustration a step further, Yul addressed those who take issue with his posts by telling them to “hug transformer,” a local phrase used to express anger and frustration. His response was blunt and aimed directly at those who seem to derive pleasure from criticizing his personal life, all while neglecting their own issues. For Yul, his marriage and personal happiness are his own business, and he will continue to share them without concern for the opinions of others.
This outburst from Yul Edochie comes amid an ongoing conversation about the challenges celebrities face regarding public scrutiny of their personal lives on social media. In an era where public figures are constantly under the microscope, many are starting to speak out against the unsolicited advice and criticism they face, especially about their relationships. Yul’s bold response serves as a reminder that everyone, celebrity or not, has the right to share what they choose on social media without facing judgment.
