Nigerian actor Yul Edochie has faced criticism for missing his first child and only daughter, Danielle's birthday.

On Thursday, April 10, Yul Edochie’s estranged wife, May Edochie and other celebrities celebrated the actor’s first child’s birthday.

Yul Edochie seemed not to have been online throughout the entire celebration. A close look at his page showed that the frequent social media user made no single post on his daughter’s day.

The following day, after the buzz around Danielle’s day had reduced, the filmmaker posted a scene from his upcoming movie project.

How May celebrated her daughter

May, like a proud mum, shared breathtaking photos of the birthday celebrant while gushing over how her daughter was set to give runway makers a run for their money with her confidence, grace and sophistication.

The mum of four also expressed joy at how Danielle, whom she described as her 'mini-me', has grown into a strong, beautiful, and kind young woman.

She, however, added that irrespective of Danielle's age, she would always be her "little girl, her one and only girl child, and her first fruit."

"For crying out loud, you all should stop asking this man why he didn't post his daughter's birthday. As far as i know, he is irrelevant. Danielle didn't tell anyone to ask him. Her mum, the most important, beautiful soul, has done everything for her. The world celebrated her yesterday. Her father's wish is not important at all, I swear. You all are giving this man too much relevance, abeg."
