"I Will Not Be Numbed Or Persuaded To Accept What Does Not Align With My Faith Or Family Values" - May, The First Wife Of Yul Edochie, Speaks On Polygamy.
6 months ago4249 views
May Yul-Edochie, the wife of Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, has once again voiced her displeasure with her husband's decision to embark on polygamy.
Recall that in April this year, Yul disclosed he had picked actress Judy Moghalu as his second wife and that they already have a son.
In a piece she shared on her Instagram page this afternoon, May said she had a steady and adoring home before the unusual events regarding her marriage. She stated that polygamy is a life choice and that no one should be pushed or compelled to accept it. The mum of four stressed that some religions and traditions allow polygamy and that she has nothing against it but that as a person, she will not be numbed or persuaded to accept a practice that does not align with her faith and family values.
She also disclosed that she and Yul together built the house she's living in.
Read her piece below.
''The ability to accept or tolerate challenges and problems in life is a virtue, and should not be misconstrued. There is no point in making an already bad situation worse, hence the need to remain calm is crucial.
I understand that we all have our weaknesses and limitations as humans, and I personally believe everyone deserves an opportunity to make things right when they stray… Forgiveness is divine.
Beyond all the unnecessary facades, Polygamy is a life choice and no one should be compelled to accept it. It is something I think all parties involved should embrace willingly, and it’s okay for anyone who chooses it. Some religions| and traditions allow polygamy and I have nothing against it. However, I am ABSOLUTELY certain that I will not be NUMBERED as a wife or be cajoled to accept a practice that does not align with my faith and family values.
God blessed me with a happy, peaceful, and lovely family in a beautiful and JOINTLY built "mansion" that started from little or nothing...humble beginnings. What more could I have been asking for? I had a stable and loving home prior to the unprecedented events regarding my marriage.
Life is made up of an infinite amount of choices. Most decisions might be tough to make, but whenever we confront our options with courage and confidence, we should equally be open to the paths of our own design. I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word and thought that comes with it in our lifetime.
We should understand that taking life-changing decisions hastily is not the best. God in His infinite mercy fixes things in His own time, He will definitely answer all our prayers.
Thank you all for your continuous prayers, love, and support. May God bless you abundantly.''

Aunty, stop confusing yourself, thinking you are confusing the world. You love the fame, money, and attention this has gotten you. You don't align with him, yet you still live with him, sleep with him, and still bear his name, "YUl" in everything you do, more like his entire existence, which he is. You can walk away, move out of his house, go to court, file for divorce, do something and stop singing the same song to us every day.

What is bad in having a second wife if you can't stay then move out? Who knows what YUL has been going through all this while? Some people that have not tasted marriage or those that just entered go dey misyan. A lot is going on in those beautiful flats you see as you drive along the road—this life no balance, my people. Let people be. Is it not better you marry a second than have side chicks?
May can't file for divorce. That is accepting defeat. If I'm a married woman, the last thing I may do is to file a divorce, let Yul file it, and then may sign for him. We know Judy's game May is going nowhere. Is her marriage, and yul did not divorce her, so what? May ur write-up is excellent and very intelligent. Let the game roll.
Any woman who divorces her home for someone like Judy is weak, and if you are weak in crises, u are weak indeed. May stand and fight it out if you tire, hand the batten to your daughter. Judy should remain outside and be a mother hen Marriage without evidence is a scam Judy will realize that We Nteje people don't recognize her when the time comes to let her be running her mouth like parrot queen Sheba my foot.

Summary: I don’t do polygamy and the reason i am still in the house is that we built it together. The silent message here is that they built the house together. This is message is about Yul who came out the other day to say, that social media should note that they are still living together in the same house. Unto say May no Dey complain 🧐

E don already happened so make she try let go and live her life. The other wife no Dey lives with them for same house she built with her husband so make she let go and find peace from her children. This life sha eh, na women be women problem. Bcos woman gender go know fully well say this man get family for house yet some of una go still out head just to get one or two then come online to say men are this men are that. Make una still dey get No for mouth whenever married men try approaching u ladies at least just to protect una fellow gender happiness.
My Dear, honestly I respect that lady. How she manages to put you straight and still remain polite needs to be studied. Honestly, Yul deserves a Tonto kinda woman. By now, we for don know the color of im boxers radarada

I'm sure you'll never laid his hand on May or came out to say horrible things about her, but toto ex did all that and worse and she had to speak up, you don't want to have anything to do with a Yoruba man u tell you, they are shameless. I did what tonto did because I was in her shoes mine was worse because them dey beat me naked come outside, my dear everybody reacts differently depending on the situation, I was protecting my abuser while he was busy destroying my name, when I cast him to the world he almost died.

I agree. She should not follow them to enter the mud. The comments here show the mindset of most Nigerian men — seeing cheating as a birthright and women as sexless drones— and that is why all of you will be shocked in the years to come this one that paternity test is becoming more popular.
If you are cheating on your wife and raising your shoulder on tops like all these comments, and your wife is not trying to kill you or expressing her pain subtly like May is, some man is def bleeping her on your behalf. What Yul did was not polygamy. It is ADULTERY.
Do you think cheating has a gender? That is like saying sleeping or eating or sexual urge has gender. Everybody has it in varying degrees. Some men don’t even really like bleeping like that. Some women, too, can go without sex for a year and no shaking, especially circumcised ones.
Meanwhile, other women need their machine on tough stains cycle at least three times a day, or they will not balance. And man can hardly keep you. Why do we think sex toys exist and the market is so significant? A single man cannot satisfy one average woman with normal libido.
Cheating or sexual urge has no gender and varies from person to person. As I dey like this, I am pissed at my husband cos he gets spent after one lazy round, and I want more. Call me ashawo, but that is reality. We find other men sexually attractive and want to bleep them too. Society frowns on women more because historically, most were jobless in the past, depending on a man for sustenance, so any sign of cheating the man will kick you out.
So how will she eat? So she had to do it secretly, and that mentality has persisted to now when women do not have to take that nonsense while men flaunt theirs. But now wey na everybody dey work and even some women are breadwinners, you want to compare today’s woman with your grandmother. She depended on a man for her next breath and so had to open her legs for him to infect her with her rival’s yeast or staphylococcus infection on your diseased penis? Heh heh heh

In as much as I'm a may supporter I don't really see the need for this post even though I still stand my grounds that my darling may should not be underrated by yul and judy because she's too intelligent and blessed.Yul should do the right thing and stop this judy nonsense because the cry of a woman like may can destroy nations I'm sure people who are spiritually sensitive will understand what I'm saying.
Another important fact is This is what a Virgo woman can do ,if you don’t believe zodiac sign nah you know don’t come for me ,but Virgo women and calm,Very tolerant And homely ,wise,smart and Not in a haste ,they will get to there point slowly and surely ,how did I know ? My mother is a Virgo ♍️,This woman here is one with that of wisdom and very calm,this to shall pass

Maturity speaks you can never cajole be to accept what you don’t believe in, to hell with what people will say, it is better to reject it than to force things later, the man has made a choice without considering his wife and children, let the woman too make her choice without considering him ✌️
I admire her... Some men seem to believe they can do anything and get away with it. She is the owner of her life, and she has the right to decide how she wants it. I know it's tough but she should follow her heart.

At the end of this epistle she didn't say she will divorce her hunchback sorry husband. So you people should let them be and stop the nonsense speculation.

my dear I don't understand how people reason. I'm convinced they are more concerned about the drama and not mays well being or what's best for her because I don't understand how they are dragging a woman for taking things slow
Leave ke? After 4 kids and 17yrs of her sweat, loyalty, and investment. You must be kidding right? If anyone's gonna leave it's him or his other wife. May goes nowhere.

If "no be gra gra" was a person👏👏very calm and in control.... especially the way she is taking care of herself and going after her goals....uncle is falling in love again ....even second wife dey form respect for her.....this is the things that happen when you find your self worth again as a woman.
I agree with you you can't be sharing a man why u stay faithful because you are a woman please men before you embrace your nature like some of u say please ask your wife to know her view on polygamy me personally will not even leave in the same house with you or still keep your last name may is really nice the day u choose to cheat just pray i don't catch you

Bia nwanyia better issue divorce paper give yul make everyone rest .ogini di bringing ur domestic and personal issues out I public for us to do what with it now. We all have our problems in Life we are dealing with. U don't see nia long dragging our Dede udoka for the public. If the marriage don tire you oak and go yul is not forcing or threatening you. Yul is not the only man out there na , you are resourceful you can attract any man you want.
Yul chose to take a second wife is not a crime you, too can do the same. I can do without a man. I'm strong and independent. Decide for yourself, your marriage, and your kids. Whatever comes out of it you live with it. We live through the consequences and aftermath of our decision electing death daft bigotted Fulani jihadist Buhari. It is a miracle for some of us who are still alive.

This is lady that knows her worth. You accept NO POLYGAMY. LOBATON. Get a divorce and move faster than they can imagine. He doesn’t deserve you, he is not worth it at all, he was just a phase in ur life, and trust me, someone out there is ready to make you happy for the rest of ur life.
My super woman. A queen. No bowing down to narcist and egocentric men like yul. Only stupid desperate women like Judy with no market will bow down just to answer Mrs. That's the way to go may. I love this woman

No one can say it will go down well quickly, just like that with you. Still, as you said, this is the time to stay calm. also you are a strong and genuinely matured lady, pretty too but consider not coming to social media with an issue in your deepest of heart like this. The Good Lord is your strength. you still have a better future ahead of you with your entire household. #wordenough

How can a man hurt this beautiful soul ? Why are men like this? What do they really want in marriage? If you can't marry one why go foe more?
If @yuledochie is man enough, he should move out and go start life again with his baby mama! @mayyuledochie started this one with him and he chose to go Waka with that other girl, so May automatically owns this house with her kids!
He chose that lifestyle and needs to pay for it. May, plsssss do not leave your sweat for that home wrecker! You own the "home" you built, let them go and build theirs together. She thinks it's easy? Mscheew. Looking for soft landing? Set awon i cannot suffer. Shior

Yul God will punish you specially. Not all women deserves this. May is definitely not one who deserves this and this will teach some women the wrong lessons. No be every man them dey suffer with. God forbid say make woman wey I sabi meet man like Yul.
For people still asking if she will leave after reading all this, she just made you all know that she jointly built the house with him, so it is equally her house and she is not going anywhere and she is not staying as a wife either.

Yul should stop boasting that " we are both living in MY mansion " , now is clear to him that living together is different frombeing " happily married " , Make yul Park out of that mansion and give that woman some breathing space to heal abeg .The pridee they say goes before a fall , yul edochie the fact that you did not discuss your decision with your wife about a second wife was and is your biggest mistake, some mistakes can't be corrected.
For the people asking, why are we still talking about this? Don't forget she posted this on her personal page, and the blogs lifted the write up from there, so if you have a problem with it, fight the blogs, or scroll past it. May has the right to express herself on her page like we all do.Thank you.

Yeye yeye yeye what a silly excuse whenever they don't want to leave their husband they will build the house with him just like mercy aigbe husband 1st wife claimed when all they did was buy one picture frame.
You disagree, yet you still live with him, sleep with him, invite him to your party, even hold hands and leave the stage while fooling us. Aunty, abeg rest, you want to keep cashing out from advert money and all the pity deals you have been getting from everyone cause if not, your ass would be in court by now. Fear won't even let him come close to you. Still, you accepted him in private but here in public, fooling us cause you love the attention and money we give you.

One man’s meat is another man’s poison. Wetin Regina embrace May disgrace. Please ask your spouse before taking irrational decisions

Every of Ned's wife knows he is a polygamist. Regina knew what she was getting into. May was not consulted, she found out on social media just like everyone else. So it is not the same

Waoooo So yul truly married another wife I actually thought this was all cruise before, no matter What May must have done, I don't think the best reaction was to marry another wife and even come boldly on social media to brag about it after making people feel you have such good morals over the years,
it would have been better you flirt around with millions of girls, so we can know you have grown to realize, the good boy no dey pay, rather than taking another wife. that is extreme and shows you were not a strong man but very weak, to let your emotions ruin the image that you have built over in the years with just a sudden decision. after having such beautiful kids. Wetin another woman wan born again wey go reach the one your first wife born...
Bros truly u no try... Now u dey run kitikiti to show to the whole world that you two are okay meanwhile is all lies

I respect tuface after all yul has done and still have pride, the fact that he refused to apologize publicly to his wife and the youths he has deceived on social media self-baffles me, tubaba apologized to Annie publicly that is a real man. Yul is the opposite

Anty stop confusing yourself thinking you confusing the world, obviously, you're loving the fame, money, and attention this has gotten you. You don't align with him yet you still live with him, sleep with him, and still bear his personal name "Yul" in everything you do more like his entire existence which obviously he is. you can walk away, move out of his house, go to court, file for divorce, do something and stop singing same song to us every day.

What nonsense you're saying you don't align with him but you still live with him and play the wife role, who are you fooling? Words without action are trash trying to keep the paycheck and deals coming in. Inukwa!!...so she can write excellently like this I love that👌but polygamy has come to stay in your home take it for your peace of mind

You must be having a mental breakdown. You silly anonymous. MAYYULEDOCHIE goes nowhere! Yeah, that's her name! Choke on that. Yul should pack out of her house and be with judas or whatever her name is. Onye ekwensu jiri kwara ngwo oru!

You live with her. That’s how you know that she still sleeps with him.
