'I'm not your mate, address me as sir ' - Yul Edochie cautions young Nigerians as he brags about 18-year-old daughter

Yul Edochie and daughter

Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has sent a message to young Nigerians about how he wants to be addressed.

This comes after the father of five posted "before and after" pictures of himself and his daughter Daniella, who is currently in the university on his Instagram page.

Yul, who was excited about his daughter's accomplishment at 18, prayed for everyone who was expecting a child, asking God to provide for them at the appropriate time.

The actor, however, also cautioned fans and followers that if any of them doesn't have a child as old as his daughter, then they should respect him.

He wrote: “If your first child is not up to 18yrs old and in the university or you’re yet to have a child, don’t worry. I pray for you today, God Almighty will bless you with this great gift at his appointed time. Amen.

“But till then, address me as SIR YUL EDOCHIE. Make sure you put ‘SIR’. I’m not your mate. From me and Ada Odogwu, Danielle Yul-Edochie”

The post generated some reactions from celebrity colleagues and followers.

lincedochie: "Am super proud of this my niece that is growing into a great woman. I remember vividly when you were born and shone like the morning Sun. May lines fall in pleasant places for you as you grow older."

gloriaosarfo: "Amen and Congratulations "Sir"????????????????"

tomiwa_olowoyo: "You have a grown daughter who looks up to you but you didn't consider her feelings when you were disrespectful to her Mum? Don't you know that she's her mother's eyes? These children are seeing these things. They may be quiet but they're observing.... it has a psychological effect on them. You have no idea the emotional and mental rollercoaster she's going through. You should have more conversations with her and you'll realize how much your behaviour affects her."

michy_daniels: "Good you can brag about Dani. Can Daniella brag about you?? Yul Edochie is a boy????"

marywealth.mar: "And you are still buying pampers ????"
