A Court Barred Me From Posting Images Of My Kids With May – Yul Edochie

May Edochie and Yul Edochie

Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has come out to explain why he stopped posting his children with his estranged wife, May, on social media. He recently had his say during an interview on the KaaTruths podcast, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, despite remaining in contact with his kids from his previous marriage, the court has barred him from flaunting their images online.

Yul, however, added that the legal restriction has not stopped him from fulfilling his fatherly responsibilities to his children.

His words, “The reason why I don’t post anything about my kids with May is not because I don’t have a good relationship with them but because there’s a court order that says we must stop posting our kids.

The fact of the matter is that I’m still in contact with my children and I still send my son money through their mother.

The main issue is not on social media. I would rather not say anything. I don’t want to say my ex-wife did this, my ex-wife did that. Real men don’t tackle issues like that. It is all family stuff, nobody is perfect.”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
