May Yul-Edochie stirs emotions with cryptic post

Meanwhile, Legit.ng recalls reporting that May Yul-Edochie is arguably one of the most loved Nigerian celebrities who isn't actually an actor, skit maker, or singer.

The socialite has been the subject of a very public marital debacle between herself, her husband, Yul Edochie, and Judy Austin, her hubby's second wife.

May had declared months ago that she wasn't interested in a polygamous marriage. However, a recent comment shared on Instagram by the businesswoman has sparked major reactions online.
