I can’t be Cajoled to Accept Polygamy – May Edochie Replies Husband
May Yul Edochie, the estranged wife of Nollywood star, Yul Edochie, has hit back at her husband for insisting that she must accept his apology and live the reality of being in a polygamous marriage.
Yul had days ago apologised to and appealed to May in a social media post to stop making things difficult, adding that his decision to marry a second wife was not to disrespect or replace her.
Yul who had been married to May for 17 years with four kids had months ago announced his marriage to Judy, a colleague who had a son for him.
The announcement had led to a couple of comments from May who kept on expressing her disappointment in her husband’s decision.
Reacting to Yul’s latest public apology which showed his frustration over refusal to see reasons with him, May posted on her Instagram account on Friday, saying forgiveness is only possible if mistakes are corrected.
She also appealed to him to stop the social media show that may have unintended consequences on their children.

She said: “I strongly believe that mistakes are a major part of human existence. It is our response to these errors that count. In other words, forgiveness is one thing, and righting a wrong is another.
“FORGIVENESS is the highest, most beautiful form of love for me. There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.
“Hence, my ability to forgive the mistakes of the past, present, and future with respect to the issue on ground is in the interest of my mental health and inner peace.
“I decided to stick to love…Hate is too great a burden to bear. I am still very much incapable of HATING anyone, let alone the father of my children. The fact remains that anyone can choose to practice POLYGAMY, but can’t be compelled to accept what was never bargained for.
“To reaffirm my stand, I will not be CAJOLED into accepting polygamy, which goes against my beliefs, faith, and values.
“I will not be NUMBERED in a home that we started building with love, faith, tears, hopes, and prayers in a CATHOLIC marriage of 18 years following a long term premarital relationship.
“This is also a passionate appeal to put an END to the constant “show” on the social media space where our kids are growing into unless it is absolutely necessary. Let’s prevent our lovely children from all the incessant drama series that might take a toll on them directly or indirectly among their peers.”
