Nollywood actor and social media commentator, Uche Maduagwu, has called out veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie, over his silence on his son’s ongoing marital drama.
In the video captioned;
“Dear Sir PETE, your continuous SILENCE on this matter is unbelievably Worrisome, talk to your Pikin”, Maduagwu urged Pete to intervene and address his son’s actions. He also highlighted the cultural and traditional implications of Yul’s behaviour.
“Never in the History of African Culture, especially in the IGBO Tradition has something like this happened that 1st IYAWO go Dey Mourn her Pikin, and Husband go post video of 2nd IYAWO Jubilating and Thanking God for safe Delivery of her Pikin, is this a JOKE or what?” Maduagwu wrote in the caption.
As Uche Maduagwu’s call for Pete Edochie to intervene in his son’s marital drama continues to make rounds on social media, fans have expressed their mixed reactions to the issue.
One Instagram user wrote;
“I think it’s important for family members to intervene when things are going wrong. Pete Edochie should talk to his son and help him to do the right thing.”
Another user commented;
“I don’t think it’s anyone’s business. Yul Edochie is an adult and can make his own decisions. Let him deal with his personal issues in his own way.”
However, some fans also expressed concern about the cultural implications of Yul’s behaviour, with one user writing;
“We need to uphold our traditional values and respect our cultural norms. Yul’s behaviour is unacceptable and should be addressed.”
Fans are divided on whether or not Pete Edochie should intervene, but the issue remains a topic of discussion in the online community.
