“Even in Silence, I Make Headlines” — Yul Edochie Brags Amid Marital Turmoil

Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has once again found his way into the spotlight, this time through a boastful post on social media.

The actor, who has been maintaining a relatively low profile in the wake of ongoing marital troubles with his wife, Judy Austin, took to Instagram to declare that even in silence, he still dominates conversations and headlines.

Sharing a bold statement layered with traditional titles, Yul wrote:

“Even when I’m silent, I still make headlines.
ISI MMILI JI OFOR 1 of Igbo Land.
OKALA MMADU OKALA MMUO.
ALUSI NA EJE UKA.
OFU ONYE NYILI ORA 1.
EZEDIKE 1.
ISI OGIDI NTOROBIA IGBO NIINE.
KING OF WARRIORS.”

The post, filled with self-acclaimed honorifics, has stirred reactions online—some praising his confidence, while others see it as a show of pride amid personal challenges.

Opinion:

Yul Edochie’s statement speaks volumes about the paradox of celebrity life. On one hand, he isn’t wrong—public figures often remain in the news regardless of whether they’re actively speaking or not. Fame has a way of keeping their names alive, even in silence. On the other hand, one cannot ignore the undertone: his boast comes at a time when many expect humility and reflection.

There’s an undeniable charisma in how Yul wears his titles—“King of Warriors,” “Isi Mmili Ji Ofor.” It reflects not just pride, but also a deep connection to cultural identity. Yet, it also raises a question: should celebrities embrace this kind of bold self-assertion when personal matters are under public scrutiny?

Some will argue it’s a show of resilience, a refusal to be silenced by personal storms. Others may see it as deflection, using grandeur to overshadow issues. Either way, Yul Edochie remains what he claims—a headline-maker.

Perhaps that’s the real lesson here: love him or criticize him, Yul knows how to keep the spotlight, and maybe, just maybe, that’s his true strength.
