Most Of The Negative Things Written About Me Are Untrue – Yul Edochie

Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has come out to set things straight about his public image.

He recently revealed that he is not as controversial as many believe, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the reality is that most of the negative things written about him are untrue, and he would actually describe himself as absolutely unproblematic.

Yul added that he loves God and humanity deeply, plus he is also an introvert.

His words, “A lot of people have written all sorts of things about me; you know me so 99.9% of what they have written about me is all false. But what can you do? I look at all these things and just ignore them.

Yul Edochie is a very simple guy, a lot of people don’t know that I’m very down to earth. I love God, I love humanity and I’m also an introvert. A lot of people don’t know that I hardly go out; once in a while, I just go back inside.

Also, I’m not controversial. Believe me, I am not, people think I am controversial but I’m not, honestly. Look at the things I do, you won’t see me looking for anyone’s trouble. I don’t call names or call people out or fight anyone. I know, just put things about me and somehow people seem to have a problem with me. Why are they worried about my life?”

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.
