Social media erupted with reactions after Nollywood actress Empress Njamah surprised May Edochie, the estranged wife of actor Yul Edochie, just days after her birthday. Empress, who runs a surprise package company, shared a heartfelt video of her flying from Abuja to Lagos to surprise May, showcasing the moment she arrived to celebrate her fellow actress.
In her post, Empress expressed how challenging it was to coordinate the surprise but emphasized that May was worth every effort. May, a mother of four, responded with gratitude, highlighting how special the grand gesture made her feel.
However, many users on social media couldn’t help but draw Yul Edochie into the conversation, speculating that he would be upset by Empress’s kind act towards his estranged wife. Comments ranged from humorous to supportive, with one user saying, “Empress cannot escape blocking from Yul,” while another remarked, “Yul go unfollow you now.”
Others praised May’s resilience and success since her separation from Yul. One user wrote, “Omo Queen May is loved. Nothing anybody fit tell me,” while another added, “Just see me tearing up, this is so emotional and sweet.” The overall sentiment reflected admiration for May, who has launched her own business, secured endorsement deals, and even made her acting debut following the dissolution of her marriage.
Since their split, May has garnered support from celebrities and the public, especially after Yul’s controversial marriage to his colleague Judy, which led to the breakdown of his marriage to May. Following the revelation of this second marriage, May filed for divorce, seeking N100 million from Judy, and has obtained full custody of their children.
The situation escalated earlier this year when Yul publicly criticized May, accusing her of manipulating public sentiment and making claims about her personal life. He stated that she underwent cosmetic surgery without his consent while grieving their son’s loss.
As the drama continues, Empress Njamah’s kind gesture has reignited discussions about the ongoing conflicts between Yul Edochie, May, and Judy, further polarizing opinions on social media.
