Nollywood actor and former presidential aspirant, Yul Edochie, has addressed criticism from those trolling him for not publicly mourning the death of his colleague, Junior Pope.
In a recent post on Instagram, Yul responded to the backlash by emphasizing the importance of maintaining a clean heart and avoiding wishing evil upon others.
He expressed confidence that those who wish him harm will ultimately be disappointed.The criticism stemmed from Yul’s earlier celebration of TC Okafor, a survivor of the Anam River accident that claimed Junior Pope’s life.
While Yul congratulated TC Okafor for surviving the ordeal, some followers chastised him for not expressing condolences for Junior Pope.
Many speculated that Yul’s alleged animosity towards Junior Pope, stemming from past personal issues, influenced his response to the tragic news.

Nigerians; we love performative acts too much. Not everyone is interested in writing an epistle

Why criticize home because he celebrated a life and decided to mourn in silence?

The fact that he didn’t come to social media to mourn him doesn’t mean he is pained or turning deaf ears

You only mourn when you do it publicly

Maybe he has problem with Jnr Pope. Mourning him or not won’t bring him back to life
