Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has come under fire for failing to acknowledge his first daughter, Danielle Edochie’s birthday.
According to reports from Kemi Filani, Danielle, Yul’s daughter with his estranged wife, May Edochie, turned a year older on Thursday, April 11. However, the actor notably stayed offline on the day, sparking outrage among fans and followers.
The following morning, Yul returned to Instagram, sharing photos from a movie set, but fans were quick to call him out in the comments for not celebrating his daughter’s special day.
One commenter, Beauty_paradise_350, asked, “Why did you not celebrate your first daughter’s birthday yesterday? Asking respectfully.” Another fan, Fummsy0116, wrote, “You didn’t post yesterday because it was your daughter’s birthday. Your shame no be here at all.”
Other followers joined in with more critical remarks, including Niniola, who reminded him, “Yesterday was your daughter’s birthday, hope you know sha?” and Narrator_stella, who wrote, “Oga, so you can’t wish your daughter happy birthday? Shame on you, Odogwu.”
Ritaeva167 didn’t hold back, commenting, “Shameless father, deadbeat father, I pour spit on you,” while Chilujrr added, “Mumu father, you no wish your first daughter happy birthday?”
In contrast to Yul’s silence, May Edochie shared a heartfelt message for her daughter. She celebrated Danielle’s growth, describing her as a strong, beautiful, and kind young woman. Despite Danielle’s age, May referred to her as “my little girl, my one and only girl child, and my first fruit.” She expressed immense pride in Danielle’s achievements and excitement for her future. May encouraged her daughter to keep dreaming big, loving fiercely, and living fully.
The tension between Yul and his children has been evident for some time. Following his marriage to his colleague, Judy Austin, Yul’s relationship with his children, particularly Danielle, soured. Danielle even removed Yul’s name from her social media profile, changing it from Danielle Yul Edochie to Danielle Diana Dubem.
In addition to their strained relationship, Yul unfollowed Danielle on Instagram and stopped engaging with her posts. May’s lawyer, Emeka Ugwuonye, revealed that Yul does not pay child support or contribute to his children’s school fees, with May taking on the responsibility of caring for their three children. He also claimed that Yul told Danielle to go to her mother for financial assistance, as she was reportedly earning more money than him.
