While all this was going on, Judy never missed any of Yull Edochie’s birthday and often celebrated him. She also celebrated all his achievements and was fond of constantly showering him with prayers and praises, but people assumed it was all about a junior colleague doing the needful for a superior. But today, we know why.

Apart from commenting, may God judge you both on Yul Edochie’s post when he announced his new son and second wife, May Edoche, his first wife hasn’t said much since then.
