Controversial Nollywood actor Uche Maduagwu has stirred conversation once again—this time by calling on May Edochie to publicly address and condemn the persistent online insults aimed at her estranged husband, Yul Edochie.
Taking to Instagram, Maduagwu expressed his disapproval over May’s continued silence as fans continue to criticize Yul on social media. While acknowledging that May might not have control over every comment, the actor argued that she has a responsibility to make a public plea for calm and civility.
According to Uche Maduagwu, her silence could be interpreted as silent endorsement, especially since she is still legally married to Yul.
He stated, “The May nation knows that their Queen May is still legally married to Yul Edochie, yet they come online and ridicule him, insult him and say rubbish about his family name on social media, is that a respect to una Queen May? Make una fear God.”
Uche Maduagwu went on to say that while those insulting Yul are responsible for their actions, the blame also lies with May for not speaking out.
“And honestly I don’t blame those people for ridiculing Yul Edochie. I blame Queen May because you know that you are still legally married to this man, yet some people gathered together on social media to be insulting, ridiculing and talking bad about your husband and you have never for one day made a post and said please don’t insult him. He is still my husband we are not legally divorced.”
Uche Maduagwu further challenged May to either speak up in defense of Yul or stop using the Edochie surname, which he suggested might be helping her secure public support and endorsements.
“If you know you are not willing to tell all those your fans to stop insulting your husband, you have to remove that name because some people are saying it’s the Edochie name that is giving you favour and endorsement. Infact I challenge you Queen May prove to Nigerians that you’re a Christian woman and you respect your legally married husband, tell your fans to stop ridiculing him.”
Maduagwu’s remarks have sparked strong reactions online, with some supporting his call for respect and others defending May’s silence as her personal choice amid a highly publicized and emotional separation.
