Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has taken to social media to address family matters, following a public fallout with his brother, Linc. In a recent Instagram post, Yul shared his thoughts on the importance of keeping family issues private, stressing that airing grievances publicly is a sign of weakness.
His post comes after a disagreement with his brother over Yul’s controversial marriage to his second wife, Judy Austin. Linc had expressed concerns about Yul’s marriage, advising him to keep the details off social media. This prompted Yul to publicly call out his brother, while also emphasizing the importance of resolving family matters behind closed doors.
In his message, Yul explained that, despite public pressure, it is crucial not to speak ill of family members in the public eye. He cited the example of singer Davido and his uncle, noting how they maintain a united front despite any underlying issues. According to Yul, the handling of family matters should be an internal affair and not fodder for public consumption.
“Never castigate your family in public. Never. That’s the sign of a weak person,” Yul wrote. “Family issues should be treated at home. Don’t let haters push you into doing otherwise.”
Yul continued by urging people to keep their family affairs to themselves, as discussing them publicly often stems from jealousy or insecurity. “Great people don’t castigate their family in public,” he added, reminding his followers that family unity is paramount.
The actor’s remarks have sparked a conversation about the boundaries of privacy within the family and the consequences of airing personal issues on social media. While many have supported Yul’s stance, others have expressed concern over the ongoing family drama, wondering whether it will affect the public image of the Edochie family.
As Yul continues to advocate for privacy and unity, the public will undoubtedly be watching to see how the family dynamics evolve in the coming months.
