YUL EDOCHIE
If you watch Nollywood home videos a lot (like me) then you surely cannot miss his voice. Deep, masculine, loud but yet engaging voice, you cannot miss it, even if you try. Apart from his unique voice, the surname, Edochie also rings a bell in the mind of every Nigerian especially if you were born before the 2000s. Read further and let me tell you why.
Yul Chibuike Daniel Edochie, a native of Anambra State, is a prominent Nigerian Actor and the son of one of Nigeria’s finest actors and screen legend, Pete Edochie. Yul Edochie was born on the 7th of January 1982 and grew up in Lagos and Enugu States respectively.
He began his education at Lillian’s Day Nursery School and Robinson Street Primary School from 1984 to 1992. He attended up to four Secondary schools between 1992 to 1998 all located in Enugu- Marist Brothers’ Juniorate, Uturu, University Secondary School, Enugu, Ecumenical Community Secondary School and then New Haven Boys Secondary School before graduating in 1998.
After his secondary school education, he proceeded to the University of Port Hacourt to obtain a Bachelors Degree in Dramatic Arts. While in the University of Port Hacourt he met his wife, May Aligwe and the two got married six years after they met. Yul Edochie got married to his heartthrob at the age of 22 years in 2004, and the marriage is blessed with three children, 3 boys and 1 girl.
He entered into the Nollywood industry at the age of 23, starring in ‘The Exquires’ as his first movie, where he featured alongside Jutus Esiri and Chidi Mokeme. He kept his acting and continued to act as a feature character in many movies till his big break came in 2007 when he acted with Genevieve Nnaji and Desmond Elliot in the movie, ‘Wind of Glory.’ Since his big break, he has continued to act in versatile roles in the industry especially home videos.
As someone who saw his father actively acting movies, he understands the industry to a great extent and the type of talents Nigeria can offer to the world. He felt Nigeria was not doing enough as regards the film industry, so he went ahead to create his film academy in 2015 in a bid to train the next generation of Nollywood Actors and Actresses.
In July 2017, Yul Edochie relayed to the public that he had every intention to run for office in the Anambra State Governorship election.
