Yul Edochie hits at arguments referring Lagos State as a No Man’s land.
The Nollywood actor via his Instagram states that the integrity of the State being owned by Yorubas should be respected as Anambra State is respected as an Igbo State.
This argument has been on for ages owing to the fact the State has been commercially viable for a heterogeneous community of people.

The talented actor opined that it would be ‘crap’ for anyone to claim that Anambra state, his home state, is a no man’s land.

Meanwhile, the actor’s post has also garnered reactions from his fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry.
Some people commended him for speaking up while others criticized him for trying to stir up ethnic tensions.
It is pertinent to note that Yul Edochie is not the first person to challenge the idea of Lagos being a no man’s land.
