Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu has asked veteran movie star, Pete Edochie, to caution his son, Yul Edochie, against endorsing the behavior of his second wife, Judy Austin.
KanyiDaily recalls that Judy Austin addressed the public for the first time since the death of her stepson, Kamilichukwu, the first son of her husband with his senior wife, May Edochie.
In the video shared on Yul Edochie’s Facebook page, Judy Austin said she is giving thanks to God for loving her and helping her through her pregnancy.
The actress testified how God saved her during her childbirth because he loves her so much and fights her battles even when all hopes were lost.
She never made any reference to the death of her stepson or show empathy for the deceased mother, May Edochie, but instead, focused on herself.
Judy Austin’s video has triggered outrage among her fellow celebrities who termed her testimony as troubling and insensitive considering May Edochie’s recent traumatic loss.
Uche Maduagwu Reacts
In a video shared on his Instagram page, the actor pleaded with Pete Edochie to intervene in his son’s marriage crisis, stressing that his silence on the matter is “unbelievably worrisome.”
Uche Maduagwu stated that it is unheard of in Igbo land that a “first wife will be mourning the passing of her child and the second wife will be celebrating safe delivery of her own child.”
He said, “Dear Sir PETE, your continuous SILENCE on this matter is unbelievably Worrisome, talk to your Pikin.
“Never in the History of African Culture, especially in the IGBO Tradition has something like this happened that 1st IYAWO go Dey Mourn her Pikin, and Husband go post video of 2nd IYAWO Jubilating and Thanking God for safe Delivery of her Pikin, is this a JOKE or what?”
