Nigerian actor, Emeka Amakeze, has taken issue with his fellow actor, Yul Edochie, regarding Yul's criticism of Arise TV news anchor Rufai Oseni.
This situation arose when Yul Edochie publicly criticized Rufai Oseni for what he perceived as unprofessional conduct during a TV interview. The altercation took place between APC chieftain Jesutega Onokpasa and Rufai Oseni on air, and the video of their heated exchange quickly went viral, sparking discussions on social media.
Yul Edochie used his Instagram platform to express his disapproval of Rufai Oseni's conduct and called him out for displaying political bias that made the interview subject uncomfortable. Yul stressed the importance of journalists maintaining objectivity and not allowing personal political affiliations to interfere with their work.
In response, Emeka Amakeze entered the social media conversation and voiced his perspective. He suggested that Yul Edochie should exercise restraint and choose his battles wisely.
Emeka Amakeze wrote, "Yul should learn to know when to shut up and go boil an egg or do something else. What in the name of struggling to make sense is this?"
When a fan of Yul Edochie advised him to show respect to his senior colleague, Yul responded in a dismissive manner, questioning the fan's comprehension.
This exchange between the actors reflects the ongoing debate on social media regarding professionalism and objectivity in journalism.
