We are Not in Support – Yul Edochie’s Brother Uche Edochie Says as He Reacts to Him Taking A second Wife
Yul
Edochie’s elder brother, Uche Edochie has revealed that his family had kicked
against Yul Edochie’s marriage to his second wife.
Uche
in a lengthy Instagram post said his family warned him not to get married
again, but Yul didn’t listen.
Uche wrote,
“Hello
guys. So my younger brother Yul Edochie just married a second wife out of the
blue and Nigerians are freaking out. I get it. We are all shocked. I am a low
key type of guy and I have tried to mind my own business but this circus is
chasing me around too. So here is my take.
I
see two main problems here. His first wife Mary, a wonderful woman and my
sister in law did not go into a relationship with my brother agreeing to be
part of a polygamous marriage. That’s the first problem. So I feel for Mary. It
is not fair on her. My families are not in support. This is not what we do and
we are trying our best to console Mary. What else can we do?
The
second issue is that Yul is not a Muslim. If he was a Muslim, no one will be
talking about this. Muslims marry as many wives as they want and nobody says
shit. Traditional rulers and traditionalists of sorts do the same thing too and
the Nigerian constitution recognizes polygamy as a legal marital union. Maybe
we should burn that bloody constitution.
We
told Yul not to do it. He did it anyway. Have you ever tried controlling an
adult when it comes to relationships? Good luck with that. Yul is an adult who
feels marrying a second woman is the best way to own up to his mistakes and
make things right. It took a lot of courage for him to do this too.
A
Muslim marries two or more wives and his people throw a party. Totally normal, a
Christian does the same thing and he is the worst human being alive. It is
tough. Women throw themselves at famous people so bad that it is suffocating.
If the average person walks in Yul’s shoes for one year, they will get five or
more women pregnant. So don’t be quick to judge if you have not lived that
life. Most people will do worse.
So this is Yul’s new baby with his new wife. Beautiful boy Children are a gift from God. It is the circumstances of their birth that gets us all riled up about what’s right and wrong. I wish them all luck. Maybe Yul should become a Muslim and shut this circus down. It is said that life is what happens when we are making other plans. I was minding my own business. And now this. Fantastic.”
