August 22, 2024- Nollywood actor Yul Edochie recently faced backlash after sending birthday wishes to popular pastor, Jerry Eze, on social media. Edochie, who is known for his controversial stance on polygamy, referred to Pastor Eze as “my man and brother” in his post, which many of his followers found inappropriate.
The birthday message, posted in honor of Pastor Jerry Eze’s 42nd birthday on August 21, quickly drew criticism from fans who felt that the actor’s comments were out of place. Some fans pointed out that Pastor Eze, a well-known preacher, has publicly spoken against polygamy, which contradicts Edochie’s personal beliefs and lifestyle.
One fan commented, “He’s against polygamy, so he’s not your man. Stop making a caricature of yourself.” Another added, “Light and darkness don’t mix,” suggesting that Edochie’s values were not in alignment with those of the pastor.
The post sparked a flurry of similar comments, with many fans expressing their disapproval and questioning the actor’s intentions. Some accused Edochie of trying to gain attention by associating himself with the pastor.
This is not the first time Yul Edochie has stirred controversy with his social media posts. Recently, he advised his fans to share their wealth with others during tough times, which also led to mixed reactions.
As the reactions continue to pour in, it remains clear that Yul Edochie’s birthday wish has not been well-received by many of his followers, highlighting the ongoing tension between his public persona and the values he promotes.
