Rita Edochie reacts to Yul’s ‘using me to draw traffic’ comment

Rita Edochie, a veteran actress, has responded to her nephew, Yul Edochie‘s accusation that she is using his “predicament” to attract attention to her social media page.

Yul Edochie, who has been bullied for over a year for marrying a second wife, criticised those who were mourning the late singer Mohbad and calling for justice.

He claimed that his aunt had not contacted him about the matter but was instead using it to draw traffic to her page.

Yul said: “Even my own aunty has not called me on phone for one day to ask me what happened. Instead she dey use me draw traffic for her page.”

Reacting to Yul’s supposition, the 59-year-old thespian wrote: “This particular line made tears drip from my eyes, especially the word “my own.” Good a thing you still regard me as your own aunty.


“But I will not say anything on this for now. Also, saying that I am using your name and matter as a traffic medium on my page, how hilarious can this be??? But I will still not say anything because I am happy you know me too well.

“My dear son, you are not the subject matter and that is the reason I don’t talk about you because I know you are not yourself anymore, but you will surely get back to whom you used to be whether drama dev! (Judy Austin) likes it or not.

“There are no doubts you are being caged/ bottled by your so-called wife whom you picked, not knowing when and how you did.

“The subject matter is the so-called wife we woke up one morning to hear you picked, and until she releases you, she will still remain my subject matter.

“And the sooner she opens this bottle and breaks into pieces, so you can freely return to your humble abode, the better for us all in entirety.”
