Controversial Nollywood actor Uche Maduagwu has stepped into the firestorm surrounding Yul Edochie and his second wife, Judy Austin — and he’s got a bold message for critics, especially those who accuse Judy of using “juju” to win Yul’s heart.
1. “Judy did not use juju” – Uche Maduagwu clears the air
In a now-viral Instagram post, Uche wrote:
“JUDY did not use JUJU for Yul Edochie. She only treat am like the #KING wey him wife no treat am like in marriage.”
According to him, Judy’s ability to make Yul feel valued played a bigger role than any alleged spiritual manipulation.
2. Most women stop treating men like kings after marriage, he claims
Uche criticized a pattern he believes is common in marriages:
“80% of Women treat their MAN like Kings before #WEDDING but FORGET to CONTINUE after Wedding.”
He suggests Judy simply did what many wives stop doing — showing consistent admiration.
3. He doesn’t support Judy’s actions but says it’s a wake-up call
Despite his defense, Uche made it clear he doesn’t approve of how Judy entered Yul’s life:
“Do I support what Judy did to my Queen May…? NO… but this should also be a #good LESSON to married women.”
He emphasized that neglect in marriage is real — and sometimes has consequences.
4. Uche says many men are silently suffering in marriages
He added that many husbands feel neglected but can’t speak up:
“So many married men are being NEGLCTED in their #Marriages but they can’t COMPLAIN.”*
He encourages women to reflect on how they treat their partners after the wedding vows.
5. How did Yul Edochie and Judy Austin meet?
Yul and Judy reportedly met on the set of a Nollywood film several years ago. Judy, an actress and producer, featured Yul in several of her projects. Their working relationship deepened over time, eventually turning romantic — though this development remained secret until Yul publicly announced her as his second wife in 2022, shocking fans and his first wife, May.
