What do netizens think about Yul's post?
ebysweden:
"Even though the video is from last year, at least you are telling Juju that by deleting the highly respected Pete Edochie’s pictures from her wall, she is on her own in her own Iberiberism. And by the way she had no right to post those pictures of Pete except that she wanted to pepper May."
official_ifunanyam:
"If your father can find out from bill boards and social media that you are contesting for election as well as finding out through blogs that you PICKED a second wife, that shows you have no close relationship with him, stop hailing him in public for validations when in real life you don’t confide or listen to your father."
