My Dad Was Strict, Made Us Tough, Says Yul Edochie

Popular Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has revealed that his dad, Pete Edochie, was strict with them during their childhood days.

He also applauded his father for the discipline he gave out on his children while they were younger.

While sharing a photo of his father on his verified Instagram page, Yul stated that his father made him and his siblings strong, due to his strictness.

Going down memory lane, Yul recounted events where his father’s presence forced them to take medical drugs as kids.

He said, “Those days as kids when we had malaria, my mum could spend so long petting and begging you to take your Nivaquine drugs which were very bitter then.

“When that does not work, she will send someone to go call dad.

“As soon as my dad comes into the room, standing at the door staring at you with his mean face and his belt in hand, you will hurriedly take your drugs instantly and be happy after taking them.

“And once he’s around, you must take your drugs with water, no matter how bitter it is.

“Dad was strict to a fault. He made us tough.”

Yul was endorsed in February this year by his father, to run for the 2023 presidential election.
