Yul Edochie Wasn’t Wrong To Embrace Polygamy

Popular Nigerian businessman, John-Paul Ugwu has come out in support of Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie for taking Judy Austin as his second wife.

He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, polygamy is the best kind of marriage for African men and any woman who doesn’t want her husband to take more wives should go back to her father’s house.

John added that as long as the man resides in Africa, he should embrace polygamy for his own peace of mind.

His words, “I stand with Yul Edochie forever. Any woman who don’t want to be married as a wife should go back to her father’s house. Polygamy remain the best marriage for Africans anyway.

In 2024, know that polygamy is the best marriage for African men. So far you reside in Africa, embrace polygamy. Your longevity, peace of mind and sound health matters to us as a married man.

This 2024 will be very hurt for all the hater of polygamy. We will be making an educative videos to encourage our men. Any day i stop talking about polygamy, stone me to death like the biblical Stephen.”

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.
