Nigeria actor, Yul Edochie has revealed that during his early days of acting, the mention of his father’s name, Pete Edochie, made him lose acting roles.
The actor turned politician made this statement in response to a fan who lamented how difficult it was for him to land movie roles in Nigeria.
According to him, he also suffered from the politics during his early days as he was dropped from many movie roles because of his father’s name. Explaining further, Yul said his father’s name made many people envious.
He further explained that this is so because politics is played across everything in the country and not only in Nollywood.

“Politics is played in every country and in every industry, not only Nollywood. Ask people in other fields.
“In my early days I was dropped many times too because of my father’s name, it made many envious. But I never gave up”
