The Nollywood actor on Wednesday shocked fans after announced the existence of his son by his second wife, Judy Austin Muoghalu.

“Born by my second wife @judyaustin1 And I love him so much, just as much as I love my other children.”

The senior wife of Edochie, who has five children for him, took to the comment section writing: “May God judge you both.”

This has since stirred reactions online as Edochie had once hailed his first wife for standing by him for 16 years while he was struggling.

However, this news didn’t sit well with many Nigerians who dimmed him unfit to be president and take control of affairs of the country.

Edochie had on his 40th birthday in January said his wish was to become the next president of Nigeria.

Here are the comments gathered by DAILY POST from Twitter;

@Uramah “Yul Edochie has failed us all (Nigerians). How can we vote for someone that is not faithful in marriage? A man that can’t stick to one woman is not fit to become Nigeria’s president. He should go and rest and also fit in his home.”

@KingArthurOG “ Yul Edochie promised us he was running for president, election season has arrived and all he’s declared is a new wife and new baby…

Congrats to all involved.”

@NaijaRadfem “Someone like Yul Edochie that has clearly shown that he is a cheat with no integrity will ruin and steal from Nigeria if he becomes President.Vote for him at your own peril.”

@O_ssai “Yul Edochie was doing well for his quest to become Nigeria’s president until today.A rising star has been dimmed. This is a loss for Nigeria.”

@ItsTosin “I can’t believe that Yul Edochie can do this to his first wife. So he actually has a second wife hidden for a very long time. And he’s aspiring to become Nigeria President in near future. This world is crazy. See his newborn baby and his first wife comment.”

@QueenEhi “And Yul Edochie said he wants to be Nigerian president, vote for him next thing you know he go carry Ghana join Nigeria, a very insatiable, unfaithful and disrespectful man. A man without integrity, his long throat is too much.”

@Analysts_ “Yul Edochie can now forget about being President of Nigeria.He should focus on his first and second wife, they need him more than Nigeria.”

@MrJay “Yul Edochie with a “controversial” second wife. When he becomes president, he may now add a third, fourth or even fifth. Sai Baba Yul.”

Popular Nigerian content creator, Shank has stirred reactions online after opening up about a personal clash with his mother over tattoos, while also revealing a fresh body ink linked to his “Lit Gang” identity.

The revelation surfaced in a recent viral video shared on his social platforms, where he recounted the moment he tattooed his mother’s name, “Oluremi,” on his arm.

According to him, what he expected to be an emotional moment quickly turned tense.

“The day I tattooed my mum’s name on my arm, she started crying and quoting Bible,” Shank said.

He explained that his mother strongly opposed the act, citing religious reasons and warning him against marking his body.

“She told me, ‘did I ask you to draw my name? I don’t like it. Don’t do tattoo again. God said don’t mark your body,’” he recalled.

Shank, however, said he challenged her stance by pointing out what he described as a contradiction.

“I asked her, if you say I should leave my body the way God created it, why do you shave your hair? You that shave hair and me that draw tattoo, we are committing the same sin,” he added.

The content creator used the moment to advise young people navigating similar situations with parents, stressing the importance of independence when making personal decisions.

“Just make sure you’re independent before doing what your parents are not comfortable with,” he said.

Amid the conversation, Shank also unveiled a new tattoo on his back with the inscription “Lit Gang,” a move that has further fueled reactions among fans.

While some social media users backed his arguement on personal choice and self-expression, others sided with his mother, citing cultural and religious concerns about body markings.

The development has continued to generate debate online, highlighting the growing tension between traditional beliefs and modern youth culture in Nigeria’s entertainment space.
