Rita Edochie Defends May Yul Edochie Amid Criticism Over London Business Launch
Veteran Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has thrown her weight behind May Yul Edochie following criticism over the recent launch of her business in London.
May hosted a high-profile event at the prestigious Hilton Kensington, drawing notable personalities and a large crowd. Despite the impressive turnout, some social media users mocked the event, labeling it as “cheap.”
In a strongly-worded Instagram post, Rita Edochie came to May’s defense, describing the critics as “small-minded” and questioning their logic.
“See my celebrity daughter now. Who dey check am? My great daughter is grace personified,” she wrote. Rita emphasized that hosting an event in the heart of London, especially at Hilton Kensington, is no small feat—highlighting the substantial cost and logistical challenges.
She added,
“Some small-minded individuals have been waging their cursed tongues, saying the event was too cheap. I can only laugh in Swahili.
Is it easy to hire a hall in the heart of London? Do you know how many pounds of cash that went down?”
Rita praised May for attracting a large audience and credited divine grace for the success of the event.
She concluded her message with congratulations and excitement for the next stop in May’s business tour—Manchester.
“We go scatter UK until their government begins to ask, ‘O Gini Na Afio?’” she wrote humorously.
Rita’s message has since resonated with fans who continue to shower May with support and encouragement.
