Yul Edochie | Zikoko!

He might have an accent because he just came back from the overseas where he lost any form of home training he might have once had

If you are wearing a bandana or durag over your head then you must be wayward

Having dreadlocks or braiding your hair is also a sign that you lack home training

If you are a smoker there’s no redemption for you, you’ve sold your soul to the devil

You and your friends only hang out in uncompleted buildings

You don’t have to carry a gun if you are sagging your trousers you must be an armed robber

You can’t wear dark sunglasses indoors if you do you are a cultist

If you pierce your ears you can never be a child of God

If you wear your cap to the front your parents raised you right but if you were it to the side you are a drug addict

If you wear any kind of jewellery on your neck you must be doing 419

Domestic Violence is a serious social issue.

And after many years of it being swept under the carpet, Nigerians are finally facing it.

Thanks to social media, we’re hearing of more cases, speaking up about those cases and even getting justice for the victims.

But as much as social media has served as a platform for advocates to speak up against Domestic Violence, it has also served as a means for different people who feel like they know shit to come and spit what they think is “wisdom” in our eyes.

Suddenly, everybody thinks they know the golden rule to stopping domestic violence once for all.

So when Pete Edochie’s son, Yul Edochie, also started dropping them tips like it was hot eba, the Internet went:

In the gospel according to Yul, Domestic Violence can be stopped if the woman learns to “zip up”, among other things:

"My father never hit my mother for one day…not just because my father's a gentleman but my mom always knew when to zip up" Yul Edochie.‍ pic.twitter.com/xsBG2YOveP

But we’re having a hard time understanding what he is saying.

Is respect not supposed to be reciprocal?

"Respect your husbands," he says. How about man respecting wife's need/right to express a concern, to talk it out and maybe adjust a little?

And how about we stop using that “We are Africans” thing as an excuse for nonsense?

When someone uses "African" to justify something they know is ridiculous to civilized societies, I'm going to assume they're uncivilized.

Can we NOT use culture to hide our wrongdoing?

The whole world is evolving. Don't be left out fam. Stop letting ancient rules/traditions guide you when there are better/fresher options.

Why does it have to be the woman’s job to keep the peace?

Yul Edochie is patriarchal. Places burden 100% on woman to keep peace in home. Speaks on the premise Man is god and Woman must bow. Idiot. https://t.co/mD90sGtGk8

And really, if keeping quiet worked for his mother, it doesn’t mean it’ll work for every woman.

Then brings his famous father into it. If your mum was a doormat at least have the decency to keep it to yourself. Don't advocate it to us.

In finality, his advice is really not wanted.
