Yul Edochie Responds to Critics After AFCON Prophecy Backlash
Controversial Nollywood actor turned pastor, Yul Edochie, has addressed critics following the backlash over his inaccurate prophecy regarding the AFCON 2023 final outcome.
Yul had previously predicted on his Instagram page that the Nigeria Super Eagles would emerge victorious against Ivory Coast in the final, confidently stating, “Today’s game will not get a penalty shootout. Nigeria will comfortably defeat the Ivory Coast.”
However, the Super Eagles ultimately suffered a 2-1 defeat to Ivory Coast, leading to disappointment among Nigerians who labeled Yul’s prophecy as fake.
In response to the criticism, Yul acknowledged the outcome and expressed gratitude to the Super Eagles for their efforts. He stated, “It is well. Thank you Super Eagles. Getting to the finals is as good as winning. We are proud of you all. Great performance in the tournament.”
Asserting his patriotism, Yul emphasized the importance of unity and positivity, proclaiming, “Win or lose, good or bad, we’ve been here. I love my country Nigeria. Better days ahead. Giant of Africa.”
Yul Edochie’s response reflects a message of resilience and national pride amidst the disappointment of the AFCON final outcome.
