Controversial Nollywood figure, Yul Edochie, has ignited a social media conversation following a recent post concerning his father, the renowned Pete Edochie.

Edochie took to Facebook to share heartwarming videos showcasing his interactions with his father on the occasion of Pete Edochie's 76th birthday and in an advertisement for a beer brand.

In his heartfelt post, Yul Edochie praised his father, referring to him as the "Lion of Africa," a living legend, and humorously noting him as the "last handsome 76-year-old alive."

Expressing his affection, the actor extended his wishes for his father's well-being, longevity, and an abundance of blessings, revealing a deep emotional connection akin to a young boy's adoration.

This development comes after Yul Edochie hinted that his father might have been aware of his marriage to Judy Austin, his second wife, contrary to previous indications.

He wrote: "THE LION OF AFRICA! EBUBEDIKE. A LIVING LEGEND. THE GREATEST. THE MOST HANDSOME 76YR OLD MAN ALIVE. CHIEF PETE EDOCHIE @peteedochie. Long life, good health and unending blessings, I pray for you Dad. My man for life."

See how netizens reacted to the post

ebysweden: "Even though the video is from last year, at least you are telling Juju that by deleting the highly respected Pete Edochie’s pictures from her wall, she is on her own in her own Iberiberism. And by the way she had no right to post those pictures of Pete except that she wanted to pepper May."

official_ifunanyam: "If your father can find out from bill boards and social media that you are contesting for election as well as finding out through blogs that you PICKED a second wife, that shows you have no close relationship with him, stop hailing him in public for validations when in real life you don’t confide or listen to your father.
