If Yul and Judy truly want the constant criticism from Nigerians to end, they need to accept one difficult reality: the outrage didnât appear out of thin air. People reacted to the hurt, embarrassment, and drama that played out publicly.
For years, Yul openly praised May as the woman who stood beside him through difficult times, the blessing God gave him, and someone he deeply respected. Many Nigerians admired their marriage because it reflected loyalty, friendship, and strong family values.
Then, out of nowhere, he publicly introduced another woman as his wife without showing empathy, sensitivity, or respect toward the woman he was legally married to, who reportedly discovered everything at the same time as the public. That moment sparked the emotional reaction from many people.
The problem was never simply about polygamy. Nigeria has countless polygamous families. What truly upset people was the public embarrassment, the emotional manipulation, the mockery, and the repeated attempts to pressure a hurt woman into accepting disrespect under the guise of âtradition.â
Rather than handling matters privately and with maturity, social media became a battleground. Allegations, insults, subtle digs, and unnecessary drama kept increasing. Then came the devastating loss of their son, and many Nigerians became even more emotionally invested while observing the behavior that followed online.
People naturally sympathized with May because many believed they were witnessing a woman being publicly disrespected while still trying to carry herself with grace.
Hereâs the uncomfortable truth Yul and Judy need to understand:
You cannot constantly stir public emotions for attention and then suddenly ask for privacy once the backlash becomes too heavy to handle.
Celebrities depend on public support. The same people who watch your movies, support your businesses, and promote your brand can also turn away when they feel morally or emotionally disappointed.
And the internet hardly forgets.
If they sincerely want peace, healing, and a chance to repair their image, humility is necessary. Not pride. Not endless interviews. Not more subtle attacks or online performances.
A genuine apology would go a long way. Taking accountability would help too. Even better would be silence, maturity, and stepping away from social media drama. They should stop trying to force people to accept a relationship many still question morally and legally, especially with ongoing concerns surrounding Judyâs previous marriage to Obasi.
Truthfully, many Nigerians may never completely forgive them because some public wounds leave lasting scars. However, people usually respect individuals who show remorse instead of constantly presenting themselves as victims after causing pain to others.
This entire situation should also serve as a lesson to celebrities: never underestimate public opinion. Fame is temporary. The same audience that lifts you up today can easily move on tomorrow.
No matter how gifted or famous you are, once your image becomes strongly linked with chaos, disrespect, and emotional cruelty, brands, producers, and audiences naturally begin to distance themselves because perception influences business heavily.
And if Yul still refuses to apologize, then truly, na him sabi.
Period!
