According to a post shared on Facebook by a law firm identified as DPA, May Yul-Edochie has filed for divorce from her husband, Yul Edochie.
The statement said, "For the avoidance of doubts, May Yul-Edochie filed a petition of divorce against Yul. She also filed against Judy as a party cited and she is asking for N100 million in damages against Judy for adultery with her husband. Make no mistake about it, Yul and Judy are not husband and wife, and cannot be until May and Yul are divorced. It is a combination of delusion and absurdity for the two to call themselves husband and wife yet.
Both Judy and Yul are aware of the lawsuit, having received copies of the suit papers by email.
Surprisingly, both Yul and Judy are avoiding service of the process upon them. The court bailiff has tried so many times to serve them in accordance with the rules of court. But, they have evaded service of court process.
Despite the braggadocio and the social media stunts, Yul Edochie and Judy are facing serious legal challenges and they seem ill-prepared for them, giving the fact that they have been evading service of process.
In addition to the substantive petition, May also filed for an order of court restraining Yul from accessing their former matrimonial home. That application is based on the fact that there are genuine security and safety concerns. Yul's behaviour has been erratic, irrational, aggressive and increasingly threatening. He seems to have been under some influence, the full extent or scope of which we're yet to ascertain. But measures are being taken to protect May and her children. These measures are proportionate to the threat.
Despite the combination of circumstances at the present time, last weekend, against all advice, Yul attempted to access the home, now occupied alone by May and her children. But he was stopped by the intervention of law enforcement. He was reminded that henceforth all issues involving his marriage to May and dealings in that regard are subjudice. He should consult his lawyer, when and if he hires one, and be guided by such lawyer."
The statement also revealed that May is represented in court by Femi Falana's firm and Eculaw Group.

This story came late cos i had to verify it...
See gobe eh
ReplyDeleteDouble wahala
I pity them, may has every right to divorce yul cos the bible is in support of divorce if cheating is involved.
Falana Chambers handling her case, 😮 I pity those 2.
DeleteYul and Judy sorry guys,Falana chamber is her lawyer. You guys should look for a good lawyer also. You see why you guys should be quite? A lot of evidence against you guys on social media. And yul,you did court wedding and dey mesbevae. Ok now,you would now understand why they give the woman the court certificate.
DeleteSo, is there any law Chambers that has never lost a case?

ReplyDeleteGood riddance to bad rubbish 👍
ReplyDeleteWatched a part of Chief Pete Edochies interview with Chude where he reacted to Yul's ish.
ReplyDeleteHe said "he who goes to pick ants infested wood from the forest must be ready to entertain lizards"
Wisdom!
Meaning,we the Edochies have all tried our very best for our efuluefu son Yul and at this juncture,we're all tired and are stepping back. Yes,May can also do whatever she wants with him,we support her. Yul the billboard for a pure empty kom kom!! Ezigbo ewuu
DeleteHian that is not the interpretation o. It means Yul should know what he signed up for when he started dating another while still married. A lot of lizards will definitely visit the house with ant Infested wood.
DeleteWay to go May! Way to go. The divorce will pull through,I am glad she joined Judy as co respondent..ndi sidechics should know that they are liable for emotional damages and smear to reputations. Na so I go join MR. A and his side chics,Vera and Yvonne zino..ndi uchu
ReplyDeleteFinally, how I wish May will win this case,
ReplyDeleteBut is adultery a crime in Nigeria? so someone can be sued for adultery .
She will surely win by God's grace.
DeleteAdultery is a crime under the penal code of Nigeria.
DeleteIt is not necessarily a crime under the criminal code but what made it a crime is legalising the union while May is still married to him. Asides from seeking damages under a civil suit, she can also pursue felony charges on Yul Edochie under the criminal code which will make him liable to seven years imprisonment.
Watch Yul and Judy deny they are married. They will start swearing they are cohabiting.

Adultery is not a crime. It is a civil suit
DeleteAdultery is a civil case. Yes you can sue a side chic for adultery and emotional stress in Nigeria.

Go and read what you wrote again if it's not funny, all you could have just said is that bigamy is a crime🙄
Legalising a union while still married isn't it same as bigamy. Must I spell it in black and white?
DeleteU no dey read the room?
This kain law wey you read self, person no go hear word. If they inquire now, we will find out t you were called to bar three years ago. New wig. Make I hear word.
KING XOXO MYSTERY
Nigeria is a polygamous country only when you wedded the first wife and second wife traditionally. Once you did court wedding for the first wife, any other wife you think you have is just adultery and bigamy.
ReplyDeleteAre traditional marriages recognised under the act?
I see a lot of Nigerian men running helter-skelter because of what May Edochie did. They are not cursing her that she will be a single mother and small boys will use her and play...delusional lots. They will start brainwashing their long suffering wives and you will see their long suffering wives defending them. Look at that Barrister, your husband stopped you from working, them went and opened chamber for another lawyer, spoilt her with gift and impregnated her and even married her allegedly and she is defending him...That man is a household enemy.

Xoxo honestly the one that pained me in that billionaire saga is that he stopped the wife from working and d delusional wife is busy writing his thesis on his good persona. Odiegwu
DeleteThat woman doesn't care in public but be sure that there is no peace in her home.. She can keep smiling outside while crying inside.
DeleteOh May, you have made the best decision. I hope the court does right by u and ur kids.

Finally. Let her have her peace.
ReplyDeletePeace does not come from a matrimonial law suit. It comes from the heart.
DeleteIn the midst of matrimonial challenges, peace is eased by amicable settlement. This suit is framed aimed at money and the house (property)
But she cannot get the house to all to herself. Maybe that's why there are so much big money claims with the hope of writing the man's portion of the house from expected judgment debt.
While this woman appears quiet in public, things may not be as they are publicly.
@16:33 there is NO good woman. I repeat, there is NO good woman anywhere. No matter how quiet a woman is, she is just being her best for a reason. If you give her a reason to show you what she is capable of, you would know that she was just letting you have your day.
DeleteMay was his wife. She dealt him a fair hand. But since he decided to be stupid, she has to change the cards.
I don’t know…. Oh why do people take kindness for granted and mess with it? I say this as a woman.
May God come through for her.
ReplyDeleteI think at this point, it's better the court settle the matter and everyone move on after justice is served. It's going to be an interesting argument at the court and I hope to see and watch the proceedings.
ReplyDeleteNigerian married women are the most disrespected people on planet earth. From their husband treating them like yesterday newspaper, flaunting their sidechics, to useless in laws telling them to fight for their marriage, to hungry men telling them that if they leave they will become single mothers, to the sidechics mocking them, to the men bodily impregnating the sidechics and marrying them and finally to their disrespected wife making poor excuses for them. It gives Stockholm syndrome.
DeleteI hope this is a lesson to all.
KING XOXO MYSTERY
🙄🙄🙄. God go shame all of una
DeleteIndeed @ Eka. I love how May left Yul and his co-defendant to oil themselves online. Now there is an abundance of evidence on the worldwide web. Also love how she did not let anyone rush her to file divorce.
DeleteLike I always say, plan your divorce so that you don’t leave empty especially in a country like Nigeria. At the very least, she has her children and her children’s home.
You don change mouth? hypocrite
DeleteHow a man will wake up one day and decide to rubbish his family is what I will never understand,if it was not working you should have formally ended with with may before jumping to Judy. To those that will come and defend yul that he's an African man and he is entitled to more than one wife should park one side abeg. Yul should have told may right from day one that they might be possibility of a second wife as the African man that he is but no he promised her that she will be his only wife ,yes he did cos the Catholic church wedding says one man ,one wife and he agreed. The registry also said one wife,yul agreed and married may then along the line yul woke up one day and remembered he is an African man and can have more than one wife. May have tried abeg,the court should not delay this divorce please
ReplyDeleteYour first paragraph is it
DeleteHe should have ended the marriage as he started before moving on to another woman
Apart from that, it is not always safe to assume a marriage is all well or that one or the both parties is or are good in it because the two of them are still together.
Now, no matter how bad the woman has been as his wife, she comes out the better of three parties in the boat.
Way to go 👍, the end of a marriage is not the end of the world. The husband already moved on.
ReplyDeleteI swear foolish man ,from odogwu to odiegwu
ReplyDeleteThis is going bad now. Acrimonious divorce is the worst. Best to divorce civilly. Yul needs to go and calm down, no point in gra gra. All he is bothered about is the property. Let them sell it and share and treat each other respectfully.
ReplyDeleteSame thing with the woman. From the way her case is framed, all she is concerned about is the property. Her case shows clearly that Judy is not the cause of the end of their marriage. Those in the legal divorce business can now tell that the marriage ended long before Judy. But he should have known better what to do since he knows his wife better than us all.
DeleteAnon sho gbadun? Someone married a guy used sweat n tears to build up a marriage and you expect her not to at least have right to her property. No you for go drag the property from her na. Nonsense . She knows her right and is rightfully claiming what she is entitled to. Don’t come and twist the story here,JUDY
DeleteJudy is the party to her suit so why are you twisting the narrative?
DeleteKING XOXO MYSTERY
I'll never blame the BV that refused to date Nigerian men.
ReplyDeleteHow about you treat a woman like a human being. Put yourself in her shoes.
So if you're the woman and your husband does this to you, how will you feel?
You won't feel pain ba?
Majority of Nigerian men lack a simple trait; EMPATHY.
That's how one is ranting on twitter that Nigerian men should avoid court marriages. Just how low can someone's intelligence quotient be?🤦🤦🤦
If it is not Nigerian men screaming polygamy, it is the Christian brothers screaming submission. What a generation 🤢🤢🤢
Empathy is too high a word to associate with Nigerian men.
DeleteHow about basic common sense?
Let them even see if they can achieve that first, before we talk of all the other things that are unfortunately missing.
There was a Nigerian man abroad who refused to date Africa originated women (not just Nigerian women).
DeleteNa Oyibo woman kpuff am. Within two weeks of that, the woman was at the club having a good time with her father. It was a Nigerian woman who heckled her out of the club.
Make una dey play with this "Nigerian men" hate.
There is 50% or more of a "Nigerian man" in every Nigerian woman. Most other African women are quick to notice this in the abroad. Whenever they meet the unusual Nigerian woman, they are quick to ask her why she is so different and whether she did not grow up in Nigeria.
If you are a Christian woman, you are expected to seek out a Christian husband of same values and be married as a Christian wife. But una no go gree. You pick a man on unchristian basis and cover up your choice with his church attendance. Later, you turn around to tar all Christian men.
Mercifully, In the midst of your Nigerian men this and that, wait. Our sister will definitely post about her good Nigerian husband soon. And rest assured there are many Nigerian husbands like hers or better than hers.
May Almighty God help our marriages.
Anon 17:07 pls let us heard word. it’s not by force For Nigerians to marry each other . No amount of bad belle epistle here can change the fact that some Nigerians are just not destined to marry fellow Nigerians due to incompatibility. Nigerians also divorce. Nigerian women exist that are in lasting marriages with foreigners. Studies show that black women and white men have the longest marriages and less divorces compared to when black men marry white women or even black women. Get over it. You do not own Nigerian women and none of them owe you loyalty because you share heritage. Grow up! This is 2023 and some people just don’t gel with people of their country . Shikena. I don’t find Nigerian men attractive any more no matter how hard I try and those who agree with me do not need to be pressured into finding Nigerian men marriage material so you can feel good about yourself. More Nigerian women are finding happiness marrying out of their race and if you don’t have low self esteem and insecurity your response should be “all power to them” and keep it moving. Noone bats an eye when Nigerian men talk down on Nigerian women to date and marry oyinbo women so keep that same energy and close your mouth concerning Nigerian women now.
DeleteI’ve seen thru the evil, mind tricks and manipulation of Nigerian men and divested from that disaster long ago. It’s a pity you’re just finding that out. For years they have used all sorts of mind comtrol and tactics to keep Nigerian women tethered to them by telling them they have no other option. U can see anon 17:07 trying desperately and failing to apply same scare tactics. Because black men are running out of ammo. Black women are waking up in droves and marrying out. My Nigerian sisters are still mentally stuck but quite a few are waking up
DeleteFrom Stockholm syndrome.t. What’s even more sad is that you know they lack empathy but still willing to try your luck being in relationships with them. Black men as a whole are not husband material, at least not the ones of marriageable age in this generation. It’s all about what they can gain and benefit from the marriage. That’s why they can’t do without cheating. Maybe the next ones sha will learn from the past mistakes but it’s a risk I cannot take. Happily divested and never felt happier safer and more loved
Anon 17:07 you are taking about 2 completely different scenarios. The bitter truth is that no matter who a black man marries it most likely ends in divorce or separation or cheating. Studies show tht marriages between black women and white men are less likely to end in divorce than when black men marry white women or when black men marry black women. Do with tht information what u will. Due to black womens unwillingness to marry outside of their race often they’re not enough glaring examples . I sha know that it’s not a coincidence that half the time u see a black woman that stops dating black men and marries a white man she looks refreshed, well taken care of, relaxed and provided for.
DeleteAnon 17:07 before u come spewing nonsense lies here to support your dead agenda thinking tht we don’t know the full story let me tell it. Courtney the white woman in question was an only fans prostitute and the Nigerian Man Obumseli U mentioned she was dating him. They were not married. He was living in her house rent free and she was feeding him. She would berate him and physically abuse him often and neighbours called police on them often. He chose to stay with her despite that until it ended in demise. Oh and btw old tweets of his resurfaced online of him talking trash about blank women calling them names like ghetto ratchet n ugly. Something that Nigerian MEN are known to do. He never specifically mentioned Nigerian women but was referring to black women as a whole specifically Akatas. But we all know that NIGERIAN MEN are fond of insulting Nigerian women and other black women to uplift white women. Knowing this why would I want to involve myself in relationship with Nigerian men?? Most of you secretly hate us and that’s a fact. The owner of this blog you’re reading and commenting on is not even married to a Nigerian man so that should tell you a lot about you Nigerian men. The only Nigerian women who want you are those you have easily brainwashed into thinking you’re the only option of men for them when that’s a lie straight from hell lmao. If u see the way other races of men jump for joy when they realise a black
DeleteWoman they are attracted to is Nigerian, u go fear
Anon 17:07 it’s not by force to marry Nigerian for a lasting marriage. Know this and know peace. Besides you don’t get to police who Nigerian women fall In love with and get to spend forever with. Because guess what? YOU DON’T OWN NIGERIAN WOMEN. And they don’t owe you race loyalty. God that created different races n gave them the ability to reproduce together did not make mistakes. As race loyal as naija women have been over the years what good has that brought the country? Maybe a little race mixing will bring sanity to naija. Even if it doesn’t the world will have a lot of race mixing over the next few years and there’s nothing you can do to stop what other people consider attractive. Mind the Nigerian male business that pays you
DeleteToo many beautiful Nigerian women exist for Nigerian men to have them all to themselves and be made 2nd 3rd or 4th wife or sidekick to some naija dusty. There are too many men all over the world wey never marry looking for a decent Nigerian wife for Nigerian women to not exercise their options. Sorry not tf sorry! It’s after japa I realised naija women are loved o forget. We just don’t know but our naija men do and use sabotage and mind fuckery to make sure we don’t find out. Me self I was shocked
DeleteA lot of Nigerian men need therapy and reconditioning. They actually behave like veteran soldiers suffering from PTSD. It’s not even a joke if you do your research. And even akata women complain about their men too. Many black men around the world are not well and I refuse to subject myself to bottom of the barrel treatment just to show off that me too I’m a married woman. Took my time vetting. After japa I’m sure a lot of the naija guys I left back home were waiting for desperation to kick in and I will start calling begging them for marriage and give them access to papers like most naija women do. But that call never came for them. I refused to settle and stuck it out and it paid in the end. Married a foreigner after vetting to make sure he has sense, called it a day and never looked back. Took a bit of convincing my parents but when they saw how happy and well treated I was they didn’t need to be told twice to bless the union. Naija women married to naija men I hail Una. Una dey try. God’s strongest warriors for real
DeleteAnon 18:10 gbam! U see tht thing u mentioned about naija men knowing that other races want us but stay brainwashing us that we are not loved outside Nigeria. Very true. Some of them even go behind the scenes to discourage these other races from dating Nigerian women. They tell them all sorts of negative things about us hoping that will dissuade them. Nonsense wicked beings. Imagine my shock when this Italian man I’m dating told me that his Nigerian male friends told him not to marry Nigerian women cause we always do paternity fraud. I was like haaa 🙆 Another Nigerian female friend of mine dating an Egyptian gisted me that the guys Nigerian male friends are always advising him to go and marry a white woman instead of settling for Nigerian woman. Very jealous wicked things I can’t deal. So I would say as you’re divesting keep your preference to yourself! Move in silence o e get why and be wary of foreign men that have too many Nigerian male friends. Make sure you move carefully so those naija demons don’t mess up your chances at love outside naija. Cus trust me their intention is to starve you of other options so u have no choice but to settle for them. Make it very hard for them
DeleteThis expose is so wonderful. So Nigerian men embellish the image of their fellow Nigerians before foreigners? Chaii 😪 this is sad. So how do we command respect like this?
DeleteLolz
DeleteOnly you in different modes or una plenty?
From Naija men to Black men.
We talk of Stockholm syndrom
Lolz
Delete@17:33 to 18:29. Only you or una plenty reach so? Starting from Naija men and ending with all Black men.
There is Stockholm syndrome just as there is the mind, which thinks everyone of its owner's race, including its owner, as inferior to peoples of other races.
If every male of the other race is superior to the black male or Nigerian male, why did you take time to vet the one you married eventually. You should have said yes the first time off. Wisely, you vetted and married on shared values, which is the rock pillar of good marriages anywhere in the world since time immemorial. Women who marry on same basis in Nigeria are still enjoying their marriages.
Naija women may be hot cakes abroad. Yet there are Oyibo men who have your kind of thoughts patterns who will not befriend a black or a Nigerian female at all to even think of marrying her. Na mind e all dey. As e dey una mind against naija men, na so e dey some Oyibo dem mind say naija women no reach to put for house.
Even those living in the Homeland know from reality TV that not All non Nigerian men are good as husbands, fathers, or even boyfriends.
Back in Nigeria, evidence abound that not all European men married to Nigerian women have proven to be quality men. At this moment one is on trial for killing his wife and daughter in Nigeria. Just do a net search.
And by the way, how many Nigerian women in Nigeria would agree to marry on terms they marry abroad?
Nobody said to marry Nigerian men. Just wean yourselves from the Nigerian men (or black men) h8te, especially that borne out of thinking your own race is inferior. Because that thinking.
E don set!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations May
ReplyDeleteWhere is that oversabi BV who always said "May goeth nowhere"? See why it's not good to talk too much?
ReplyDeleteGood move, May. I hope all parties involved find peace in the long run and I hope young Kambili is resting ever so peacefully.
I listened to Yul over 10 years ago on TV narrate his experience on when he relocated to Lagos. He had nothing and credited Nonso Diobu a fellow nollywood actor for housing and being there for him when he had nothing. At the time, May stood in playing the role of a father and mother for their children. He eventually found his feet having clarified that he made his way in the industry through hardwork and not because he is Pete Edochie’s son. In that state, his new concubine turned wife would not have looked at him twice. He eventually succeeded and decided that May was no longer attractive. Yul, you chose your path, May has chosen hers. You can sue May back if you want but as things are now, enjoy your new found social media love where you have once again decided to ‘love’ like a teenager! We shall see Judy’s reaction when she sees you with another woman because everyone shall surely reap what they sowed. It’s goodby from May the gentle woman whose meekness and calmness meant very little to you! Copied
