Nollywood actor and former presidential aspirant, Yul Edochie has called for Nigeria’s next president to emerge from the South-East region, citing fairness and equity.
In a video shared via his Instagram page, Edochie emphasised that justice demands the South-East be given the opportunity to produce the next president.
“The next president of Nigeria should come from the South-East. In fairness and equity. That’s just the truth and how it should be,” he stated.
Yul Edochie, the Nollywood actor, has pleaded with President Bola Tinubu to revive the cashless policy introduced by former President, Muhammadu Buhari.
The controversial Nollywood actor, in a post shared on Instagram explained that the policy had a positive impact on the nation’s economy as it strengthened the naira and brought down the prices of goods.
The actor cum filmmaker noted that lower denomination notes like ₦5, ₦10, ₦20, and ₦50 began to hold value again when the policy was in place.
The actor also stated that the cashless system played a major role in reducing kidnapping across the country, as it limited access to physical cash by criminals.
Edochie urged the President to consider bringing back the policy for the benefit of the nation.
“To my leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR @officialasiwajubat, I humbly suggest you bring back the cashless policy. When it was introduced by the previous administration, it increased the value of the naira tremendously.
“It helped to bring down prices of goods and it made 5 naira, 10, 20 and 50 naira notes regain value. The cashless policy also helped to reduce kidnapping massively. Consider it again Sir,” he wrote.
Linc Edochie, elder brother of controversial actor Yul Edochie, has called off his engagement with his new lover, Yinka Theisen, for sharing the phone number of May, the estranged wife of his brother, on social media.
It would be recalled that Yinka recently, via her Instagram, accused in May of distributing her number to her fans, who then hurled insults at her.
Some of May’s admirers have been critical of Yinka after she started posting on social media about her admiration for Judy and Yul, whom they believe abandoned May.
They camped on Yinka’s social media profiles and did not spare her any abuse. However, Yinka stated that she will not be shut out of social media adding that she is free to engage with whoever she wants.
However, a couple of days ago, Yinka posted May’s contact details on her Instagram, calling the businesswoman out. In response, Linc, who’s known to keep a low profile, took to his Facebook some moments ago to distance himself from his new wife’s actions.
He stated that he preferred to remain alone and at peace rather than be in a troubled union.
The post reads: ‘‘I usually dont make careless speeches but i want to set the record straight. I am a man of peace and value my sanity. For the records, i did not endorse the recent attacks on May neither did i endorse posting her number online which has triggered meaningless retaliation. We may not all agree with eachther but we can respect one another. Better to be alone and at peace than to be in a union filled wth landmines. Respect.(SIC)”

Must you all chase away everyone working with me or trying to earn an honest living through me?
