Popular Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has sparked widespread online conversation after revealing his hefty fee for event appearances. In a video shared on his Instagram page, Yul disclosed that he charges ₦20 million for attending events. However, he emphasized that this fee includes more than just his presence; he humorously claimed to bring along the spiritual strength of his ancestors and thousands of spirits from his hometowns Nteje and Umudioka.
Yul recounted a recent appearance at the burial ceremony of his friend’s father, Barrister Tochukwu Nweke (SAN), where he said the cultural and spiritual atmosphere in Nsugbe was electrifying. He signed off his post with traditional Igbo titles, underscoring his pride in his heritage.
The post quickly went viral, eliciting mixed reactions from fans and critics. Some found his declaration amusing and bold, while others questioned the high cost of his appearances, especially given ongoing social issues in Nigeria.
This revelation adds to Yul Edochie’s public persona, as he recently apologized to his church members for missing a live broadcast service, showing his active engagement both in entertainment and faith communities. The conversation around his ₦20 million fee continues to trend across social media platforms.
