Yul Edochie Criticized for Advising Against Protests
Nigerian actor Yul Edochie has faced significant backlash on social media after advising against protests over the nation’s economic hardships. On July 19, 2024, Edochie took to Instagram to urge Nigerians to exercise patience and continue voicing their concerns without resorting to protests.
“I acknowledge the hardships. Protest is not the answer,” he wrote. “People take advantage of protests to loot, destroy properties, and harm innocent Nigerians who are already suffering. In the end, the protest’s aim will be defeated. Remember what happened during End Sars.” Edochie emphasized the need for patience and continued dialogue, expressing confidence in President Tinubu’s efforts to address the issues.
“Let’s be patient. Let’s keep speaking out and doing all we can to help out. President Tinubu listens and he’s doing all he can to make things right. Fellow Nigerians, let’s be patient,” he urged. However, his advice was met with intense criticism and disapproval from his followers on Instagram. One follower responded angrily, questioning Edochie’s credibility and motives, accusing him of self-interest. Another sarcastically suggested he pursue a career in comedy.

Nigerian pastor Iren has spoken about the contributions of churches to Nigeria’s development and the importance of religious institutions in society.
During a recent service, the pastor discussed the influence of churches in Nigeria, highlighting their contributions to education and healthcare.
He recalled how Christian institutions helped establish schools and hospitals, pointing to the impact they have had on the country.
“When anybody says, ‘What has the church done?’ This is evidence: Igbobi College has produced Yemi Osinbajo, Babatunde Fashola, Femi Gbajabiamila. Baptist Boys’ High School, Abeokuta, produced Olusegun Obasanjo. The first hospitals and schools were built by Christians,” he stated.
Nigerian actress Bisola Aiyeola has shared her thoughts on why women, including those from other countries, are attracted to Nigerian men.
The actress recently spoke about the topic on a podcast, where the discussion centred on why women love Nigerian men. She explained that their intentionality and efforts to make their partners feel special can attract women.
“The average Nigerian man wants to take care of his woman, spoil her, give her everything that she wants. When a Nigerian man wants to toast you, ah, but he go enter you. They know what to say, they know what to do.”
What do you think? Do you agree with her?
