I Met Yul Edochie 3 Years After My Marriage Ended – Judy Austin

Nollywood actress Judy Austin has shared that she met fellow actor Yul Edochie 3 years after her former marriage ended. She recently had her say via a viral clip, and fans have been reacting.

Warning bloggers to stop spreading unverified rumours and stop insulting Yul Edochie, Judy stated that he stepped in to provide for her children when their biological father abandoned them.

Accusing her former husband, Emmanuel Obasi, of lying to Nigerians, the moviestar added that the court will settle the ongoing dispute between them once and for all.

Her words, “I met Yul Edochie 3 years after my marriage to this same man (Emmanuel Obasi) has ended. I met Chief Yul Edochie on a movie set in 2016 for the very first time. Up until that time, I had no interest even in acting.

The executive producer of that movie is Mr. Ogakuruma, and I believe he’s still alive today to bear me witness. People on that production, they are still alive today to bear me witness that that was the first time I ever met him. The person that encouraged me in 2013 to even consider acting was Sylvester Madu, and he’s still alive today to attest to this.

You said on the podcast that you don’t even know where your kids are, so why are you still calling Yul Edochie to release them when you don’t even know if they are with him?

For the records, I never for once restricted access to this man. I’ve never restricted access for him to see his kids. My children spent 5 years with my parents before I moved them to Enugu in 2018. The man will visit them once every year to come and showcase his child with his new wife, to show my parents that he’s living the life and I’m suffering.

The pictures he’s posting on net with my kids being very little are the ones he was able to take whenever he goes to see them. So at what point did I restrict access from this man?”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
