Yul Edochie, son to Nollywoood actor, Pete Edochie, has descirbed his relationship with his Father as being in perfect ‘condition’.
According to a recent interview, he shared that parent approval or society approval does not define a real adult.
Read his words below;
“I get along with my father, he’s entitled to his opinions and views at any point in time, same with me as an adult, everything you do must not have that 100% approval or liked by everybody even your parents, that’s what makes you an adult.
If everything I do…I mean,am 42 years old, if everything I do at this age has to be loved by my father, that means am a child
Am a man of my own, I would definitely do certain things that he may not like that much but hey!, it’s my life, at this age, I have to look out for myself, I have to look out for my children, I have to look out for my family, so certain things I do may not be approved by him or my mother but it doesn’t change the fact that I love him and I respect him 110%, I don’t joke with that.
He does an interview, say certain things, whether they are in my favour or not, the next day am posting his picture and am telling him how great he is, not because am doing it to make him happy, that’s how I feel from deep down, like I really appreciate him.
He thought me a lot, raised me to this point and he was there for me, making sure that no matter the situation even though there wasn’t much money at that time, but he made sure all if us went to university, it was tough for him to raise everybody but he made sure he did.
I mean, he has my respect, no matter any interview he does and says anything, the next day, am going down to bow in front of him and tell him ‘you are the man’
So we get along”.
