Yul Edochie and Do2dtun Clash Over Roby Ekpo's Marriage Saga, Fans Criticize Edochie for 'Speaking with Pain'
Nollywood actor Yul Edochie and media personality Do2dtun have engaged in a public online spat concerning the emotional revelations made by OAP Roby Ekpo about his failed marriage. The controversy erupted after Ekpo appeared on 'The Honest Bunch' podcast, detailing his painful experiences during his 11-year marriage to Mayowa Lambe, who recently remarried in the United States.
Do2dtun defended Ekpo's decision to share his story, stating that he would rather see his friend find closure through public expression than suffer in silence. "I'd rather have Roby alive than die in silence. Some of you will hope he spoke. Now he has, yet you crucify him," Do2dtun asserted.
However, Yul Edochie took a contrasting stance, advising men against public displays of emotion, particularly crying over a woman. Edochie argued that such behavior on a podcast signifies weakness and suggested that men should instead focus on replacing lost partners. "Speaking out is ok. Crying is totally unacceptable. Rather than cry for a woman, replace her with 5 new hot women, impregnate all of them at once," Edochie controversially stated.
Edochie's comments drew sharp criticism from fans and social media users, many of whom accused him of speaking from a place of personal pain, likely stemming from his own marital issues and the public fallout from his second marriage. One netizen commented, "Fans were not impressed with Edochie's comments about Ekpo. They blasted him and questioned why he did not 'replace May Edochie with a beautiful woman' as he advised others."
Furthermore, Do2dtun and filmmaker Jade Osiberu also exchanged heated words, with Osiberu criticizing Ekpo's friends for allowing him to share his pain publicly. Do2dtun countered, defending his support for Ekpo's search for closure.
The public debate has ignited a wider discussion on social media regarding masculinity, men's emotional expression, and the appropriateness of sharing personal marital struggles publicly. Many have called for greater empathy towards men experiencing heartbreak, emphasizing that emotional vulnerability is not gender-specific.
