Yul Edochie is trending on X [formerly Twitter].
While the Nollywood actor-pastor is not new to social media trending, this time, Yul is explaining why he did not attend the burial of his late colleague, Junior Pope, a development he attributed to alleged backstabbing by the late movie producer.
Edochie on his social media page on Tuesday recounted how Jnr Pope allegedly betrayed him so many times.
He wrote, “I didn’t want to say anything till after his burial. I know many asked why I wasn’t there. Why I haven’t said anything about it since.
“I took him like a brother and good friend. I was there for him when he needed me. But he stabbed me in the back, repeatedly. That’s life!”
Edochie warned his followers to be wary of what they wish for people because their wishes could come back to haunt them.
“I’ll drop the full details soon so others can learn from it. Be careful what you wish people, it could come to you,” he added.
Netizens have been reacting to the allegation:
Mr. Yul, since you didn't bring it up when he was alive you should forever remain silent. Nobody want to hear about it.
Bringing up an argument with a the death
Is like fighting the spirit.
Allow the spirit rest because we can't hear his own side of the story— Frank The Writer 📚✍️ (@FrankWriter1) May 21, 2024
Any issue that wasn't raised when someone was alive should remain buried after their demise; Yul Edochie is trying to bring up unnecessary conversations about Jnr Pope but couldn't speak when Pope was alive? Talk about absolute disrespect. RIP to the deceased.

When they say common sense isn’t common , now one can clearly understand
Certain issues in certain situations are best left unsaidIt’s is good to have a wise partner , wise husband or wife or friend or family
One who can advice you or tell you certain issues are best left…
