Nollywood actress, Rita Edochie, has recently caused a stir on the internet by revealing details of Yul Edochie and Judy Austin's introduction ceremony. In a social media post, the actress made a surprising claim that no family member of Yul Edochie accompanied him to marry Judy Austin in her hometown. Rita Edochie took a mocking tone towards their relationship and asked Nigerians what such a form of marriage is called in Igbo land, implying that it was not a proper or legitimate union.
The actress's statement quickly garnered attention and sparked various reactions from social media users. One user, Cynthia_kelz, responded by referring to it as a "backyard marriage," insinuating that it lacked the necessary support and validation from Yul Edochie's family. The commenter also mentioned that Yul Edochie and Judy Austin had kept the birth of their child a secret, which was only exposed by someone who discovered their supposed "fake marriage." Cynthia_kelz expressed support for Rita Edochie's candid remarks and reassured her that she had people standing behind her.
Another commenter, Ugwuanyichidimmajessica, criticized Yul Edochie for not having any of his family members present during the introduction, suggesting that it reflected a proud polygamist attitude. The commenter seemed disappointed by the absence of familial involvement in the event.
One user, Gee.1965, observed that Rita Edochie's subtle messages in her post were representative of her Umunna (extended family) expressing their opinions. They suggested that those who had previously attacked the actress should now understand the underlying meaning behind her statements. The commenter concluded by stating that they would no longer engage in the discussion.
Bensonokonkwo chimed in, praising Rita Edochie for her compassionate nature and describing her as a woman with a heart of gold.
Another user, Great123831, commented that Rita Edochie had now completely exposed the situation, figuratively stating that she had "spoiled the remaining table." This expression suggests that Rita Edochie had revealed all the pertinent information and left no room for further speculation or secrets.
Accompanying the social media post was an image shared by Rita Edochie, which displayed the text of her initial statement along with accompanying comments.
