Veteran actress Rita Edochie isn’t holding back when it comes to standing up for May Yul-Edochie. In a passionate Instagram post, the Nollywood icon addressed critics who seem bothered that May still bears her ex-husband’s surname—even after their divorce.
According to Rita, the name “Queen May Yul-Edochie” isn’t going anywhere, and nobody has the right to dictate otherwise.
“She’s still Queen May Yul-Edochie. You didn’t give her the name, so what’s your problem?” Rita fired in her post. “If it’s paining you that much, go cry it out—or better still, hug a transformer.”
Her words weren’t just about clapping back—they were also a reminder for people to stop wasting energy on others’ lives and instead focus on their own growth.
“Why hate someone who doesn’t even know you exist?” she asked. “Pray for your own breakthrough. When it’s your season, you’ll shine too.”
Rita went on to encourage self-love and patience, reminding followers that life is not a race. “Just like the sun and the moon, we all shine in our own time. Don’t let pressure push you into chaos. Trust God’s timing. Celebrate every small win and keep moving forward.”
With a mix of boldness and wisdom, Rita’s message isn’t just a defense of May—it’s a motivational charge for anyone feeling lost in comparison or caught up in online hate.
After all, she concluded, “You are unique, and your moment will come.”
