Nigerian actor Yul Edochie is once again at the center of online backlash, this time over his noticeable silence on his daughter Daniella’s birthday, which was celebrated on April 10th. While fans, well-wishers, and her mother, May Yul-Edochie, took to social media to celebrate the young woman, Yul’s Instagram remained quiet something that didn’t sit well with many observers.
What made the silence even more glaring was the fact that the actor continued with his usual posts, sparking a flurry of angry and disappointed reactions from fans who expected at least a simple gesture in honour of his daughter.
Daniella, who appears to be distancing herself from her father in recent times, had already removed his surname from her Instagram bio, a move many linked to his ongoing controversies and relationship with fellow actor Judy Austin. The birthday snub only seemed to confirm the tension.
Social media users didn’t hold back, dropping sharp comments under Yul’s latest post:
• “No matter what’s going on, your child’s birthday is never the day to be silent. Very disappointing.”
• “This is beyond drama now, it’s becoming pathetic. Even Judy would be ashamed.”
• “You always have time to post long videos and preach, but not a single post for your daughter? That’s low.”
• “You preach about forgiveness but can’t publicly honour your child? Actions speak louder, Yul.”
• “When karma starts from your own house, it’s time to reflect. This is not okay.”
While Yul remains silent on the matter, many fans are urging him to prioritize his family relationships, warning that his current path may lead to deeper personal divides.
