Yul and Linc Edochie are two of the most popular children of Pete Edochie, who is considered one of the pioneers of the Nollywood industry. Linc started acting before Yul, with credits in movies such as The Principalities, Victim, and Ghost Lovers. However, he later left the industry to pursue other interests.
When asked about his brother’s decision to leave acting, Yul said, “Yeah, Linc started before me. He started like a year before I got in but later left to do something else. So, I would say we all have our own destiny.”
On the topic of his own future in Nollywood, Yul stated that he had no plans to quit acting anytime soon. He explained that he had a passion for both acting and directing, but not producing. Yul added that he was planning on making his own films and would hire a professional producer to handle the production aspects of the project.
Yul also spoke about his upbringing with his father, Pete Edochie, who is known for his strict personality and strong Catholic faith. Yul described his father as extremely strict but said he was grateful for the upbringing he received. “He is a strict Catholic, so a lot of things I know today I learnt because of my background,” Yul said.
He added that his father instilled in him and his siblings the importance of having a good name and being honest.
“My father made us understand that it is better to have a good name. Good name will get you riches and everything you need,” Yul said. “That’s the kind of family I was raised in, and my mum too is very strict. There wasn’t much money then to throw around, but we grew up loving God and each other.”
