Yul Edochie Is Not A Practicing Polygamist, He Is A Wanderer – Polygamous Group

Members of Polygamous movement of Nigeria group have come out to disown Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie.

This was recently revealed via a press statement by its General Secretary, Emmanuel Emju Junior, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the African culture preservers of the polygamous movement of Nigeria do not recognize Yul Edochie as one of them because he is not a practicing polygamous man, he is a wanderer.

The group added that any piece fronting him as a member of PMN should be disregarded completely.

His words, “We the African culture preservers of the polygamous movement of Nigeria, wish to notify the general public once again that Maazi Yul Edochie is not a practicing polygamous man, but a wanderer,” the statement read.

Disregard any piece fronting him a polygamous man from any member of our great family.

All our members are hereby advised to stop using the image of Yul for the promotion of our movement. Any member who defaults will highly be penalized…

Signed:
John-Paul Ugwu

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.
