Popular Nigerian influencer May Edochie has announced how she met her estranged husband, Yul Edochie.
May revealed in a recent lifestyle podcast that their paths met long before they were married and famous.
The mother of three disclosed that during her early undergraduate years, they met for the first time in a General Certificate Examination (GCE) centre.
She claims that she first met Yul, who was enrolled at the University of Port Harcourt, UNIPORT, after relocating from Lagos to Enugu State University to seek a degree.
“Way back in school when I went to the East for my university, I’m a bookworm. It’s always been about books for me. We didn’t meet at a party or any glamorous settings, we met at a GCE centre,” she said.
Looking back on that time, May defined herself as a young woman driven by her studies.

May Edochie’s lawyer, Emeka Ugwuonye, representing her in her marital dispute with Yul Edochie, has discontinued his service.
In a statement released by the law firm Due Process Advocate (DPA) on Facebook, Ugwuonye cited relentless harassment from May’s fanbase, known as ‘May Nation,’ as the reason for his decision.
He stated that the initial legal partnership, formed to seek justice for May in the aftermath of her marriage breakdown, ended due to tension and cyberbullying from her supporters.
According to Ugwuonye, the toxic atmosphere fostered by some of her fans made it impossible for her to continue her representation.
He mentioned that his staff faced abuse from May’s supporters, more severe than what they experienced from Yul Edochie’s supporters.
May Edochie’s lawyer clarified that while Yul and his alleged partner, Judy, were the source of May’s problems, the online behavior of her followers worsened the situation.
Despite withdrawing from the case, Ugwuonye emphasised that May is a remarkable individual and a victim of betrayal and forced polygamy.
He assured that DPA will fully cooperate with the next legal team representing May.
