Celebrity Tailor Yomi Casual's wife Grace commented on May Edochie's (estranged wife of actor Yul Edochie) New Year post and advised her to change her Instagram name bearing her estranged husbands name and Netizens trolled the living daylight out of her for giving the advice she did.
Read to the bottom to see the advice......
Wahala be like Uganda...
ReplyDeleteVery easy to enter!

DeleteWhere is end oh, Still searching for it.
ReplyDeleteHer advice was not bad, IMO
ReplyDeleteExactly the advice is reasonable.
DeleteThere’s nothing reasonable about her advice. That name has been her identity for about 19 years, if she doesn’t want to change it, she has every right not to
DeleteTor
DeleteFrustrated and bitter people with small data aka misery love company= TROLLS

DeleteYou see the problem with women. U don’t want a man, but u want his money. You don’t want the man again but u want to keep his name. So u ppl are saying, May is not or cannot be anything without the Edochie.
DeleteIs it her father's name?
DeleteSome people don't just mind their business and family.
ReplyDeleteOf all things to worry about, it's someone's names on their handle. Even divorced women still bears their husband name.
Good she got what she was looking for.

I totally agree with Grace on this. I don't understand why some women, African women especially find it hard to revert to their maiden name after a divorce. Is it that you don't feel your maiden name can open doors for you, or you simply want to keep hanging on to the vestiges of a marriage you claimed was turbulent? Nobody should give me the traveling hassles usual excuses yen yen yen. You don't travel out everyday, and from my personal knowledge, it's not as complicated as people make it out to be.
ReplyDeleteHave you legally changed your name before? If yes, you will understand the hassle involved in getting the affidavit, newspaper publication, Intl passport, banks, etc to reflect the new name. If she decides to keep the name, then its HER name.
DeleteShe can still use the name,till the divorce is final.
DeleteAnon 09:14 the answers to your questions was stated in my comment and you would have seen it if you had read my comment with an open mind and not with the sole aim of criticism, as is your stock in trade
Delete@ Chexks55, they are also other reasons especially here in the West, also as the anons stated up there it can be a long winded process too. As for me, though married, I still bear my maiden name because of my profession, too much hassle to change it.
DeleteWhere's the lie? She's building a brand. She should use her own identity not living in the shadow of being his wife or ex wife.
ReplyDeleteWhat do I even know? 2025 here I come.
2024
Delete๐ฏ% True
DeleteEveryone should do what please them.
ReplyDeleteIf it's May's decision to keep using her estranged husband's name, whose business is it?
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm
ReplyDeleteLet her do what works for her. There are many examples of women all over the world who retained their ex husbands names and all parties are fine.
Unsolicited advice ๐๐๐
ReplyDeleteAs in ehh
DeleteHe who think he's standing,should be careful

DeleteWell, I don't see this as a bad advice. I think she meant well.
ReplyDeleteI think Grace is right.May's image and reputation is even bigger than that of Yuls' now, so why still clinging unto his name?
ReplyDeleteBut the advise is true na which one is May Yul Edochie again, get an identity away from that man, as far as I am concerned you are even bigger than him now.
ReplyDeleteThe name she have been using for years. Do you people think it's easy do to change of name
DeleteThat's still her claim to fame, the fact the man did her dirty is has brought her much favour. Besides, changing name isn't easy, I changed some years back but some documents still bear my maiden name.
DeleteYou really think she is bigger?
DeleteNot a bad advise to be honest.
ReplyDeletePeople should learn to mind their business.
ReplyDeletePeople should learn how to mind their business.
ReplyDeleteThat was an advice borne out of sincere love. It is high time, May get her own identity. Even if she doesn't change it on her document because of the hassles, I know it can be a lot.
ReplyDeleteHer social handles can still be use as a reflection of her new identity.
The advice is not bad ooo
ReplyDeleteBut nobody will tell May what to do
If keeping the name makes her brand sell..Who am I...
If Ex Horseband is not complaining
Who am I...
The response was not aligned to the post. Someone lamenting the lashings they met in the past year and the toll the experience took and continues to take on them and then someone on the sidelines decide to add changing their handle name or whatever. Come on now.
ReplyDeleteMany have asked the same question before and she continues to hold on to her name and social media handle so folks should learn to let ppl be when they have shown they are not interested in certain advice.
Exactly! Even if it was a well-meant advice, it came at an unfortunate time. The woman is lamenting the pain of loss and you're asking her to change name?! Read the damn room!!!
DeleteMay brand is far getting bigger than yul but she should make her decision when she wants no pressure on her abeg.
ReplyDeleteGuessmeey
True
DeleteMay is way bigger than Yul right now. She has grace working for her.
ReplyDeleteShe should drop the Name and capitalize on building her own Solid Brand.
She has a battalion of Army that loves her.
She’s the first to always sell out in every TradeFair, people love her for real.
YUL will forever regret his Actions sha
When you get married and “acquire” your husband’s name, you build the name with your husband, strengthen it. You bring children to the world bearing that name. It’s no longer about the man’s name. That is also your children’s name. Many women would not find it easy emotionally to bear a different name from their children. Even if she would drop the name it should be entirely up to her and at her pace. Honestly, I would compare this issue to asking a woman when she would get married, or get pregnant. When and if she would drop a name she beared for years should be entirely up to her.
ReplyDeletePoints well made, but general.
DeleteDid May build the Yul Edochie brand or the Edochie brand in the industry where it is prominent?
There are plenty women who bear surnames different from their children's surname.
Current trend is that where a woman has a maiden surname that provides for her and or protect her more that her husband's name, she keeps that name, or as a compromise, add her husband's name.
So, the choice of post-marital surname by a woman is essentially a selfish decision. And wise husbands know to let well alone.
In this case where the public comments are that the man has done and continues to do the woman bad, dropping the name at least in public until the divorce is finalised, should not be a tough decision for the woman. Except the public does not know whats going on in the marriage.
If a Man has been really really terribly bad to a woman, she would not want his name beside her name at least in public. In her case, she carries both of his name in public. Not even his surname alone. So the public should leave Yul and May alone.
Very insensitive advise, how does May's post correlate with her advise now.
ReplyDeleteIf it was even from a fan I wouldn't mind. why not go to her dm and state it, must it be publicly ni๐๐๐
Not like brands have refused to sign her because of her husband's name, it's her decision let her keep the name till eternity and if she feels like changing it good for her. Nobody should pressure her for anything, she owes nobody an explanation or an apology for bearing that name.
Grace told May to change her IG name, yet here some of you are talking about passports; affidavits; bank documents etc.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you guys jumping the gun, when she simply stated an Instagram name change and nothing else? ๐คจ
OT: why do a lot of you say international passport? Is there a local passport, hence the need to add "international" to differentiate the two???
Saying international passport is as redundant as saying jollof rice, when rice is the only way in which the dish can be cooked.
Thank you.
DeleteThe advice/suggestion is to separate her public persona from the public persona of her husband considering all that is ongoing in their marriage. And even "we" who traduce the man here every time a post about him is made are saying...
Thanks SMH, a lot of BVs over the years I have observed don't apply insight when reading post, they allow hate and criticism becloud their ability to be objective and impartial when commenting
DeleteLeave another woman's husband alone.
ReplyDeleteA female Bv advocates revenge paternity fraud here on ground of giving an adulterous husband another's man child to care for because he is caring for some outside marriage. But she is usually scarcely seen commenting on a comment like yours.
And put yourself in the shoes of the man's wife and children.
Afterall, you have been paid your debt, right?
If the man's wife send a chronicle because of you now, women here will start with the outworn cliches on all men.
And you may even join them.
By the way, I am a male.
Comment @11:33 was made in reply to a comment apparently deleted by blog admin.
DeleteIt's a good advice because she's building her brand name which doesn't have anything to do with the disaster or reproach called Yul. Though she's already changing it because the introduce her as Aminent Peace Ambassador Queen May
ReplyDeleteThe most complex B
If she decide to change her name, good for her.
ReplyDeleteI don't see anything wrong with the advice na, you don't want to marry the man again, remove the name na and allow Judy Austin to rock it.
ReplyDeleteVery hypocritical, you don't want to leave the name and you still don't want to stay married to the man. Kilode
The advice is good. Afteroh Twitter changed to X and in less than a year netizens can roll with X. May, drop that Yul Edochie, push your new identity, your fans will loud it! E no hard. One love!
ReplyDeleteOkay, let us test the strength of her keeping the name in public (social media) and on private documents because of this, that, and for brand sake.
ReplyDeleteSo, if May Yul Edochie gets an Fx deal today. And the client say it will pay only by buying a property in her name on Banana island, Lagos or in the USA.
Since the contract is between her and the client, she cannot present her children's names or a proxy's name. It must be her name or no deal. Which name should she submit to the client? Her marital name - May Yul Edochie? Or Her maiden name - May (her paternal name).
How many of us will submit May Yul Edochie if in her shoes?
She should have minded her business sha
ReplyDeleteBest comment.
