Yul’s birthday, Danielle’s moody look discussed as May Edochie, daughter grace premiere of new featured film

• On the day meant to celebrate Yul’s birthday, May instead shared captivating video highlights of herself and their daughter, Danielle, gracing a prestigious movie premiere.
• The choice of timing, paired with absence of celebratory posts for Yul on his special day, intensified the spotlight on the cracks within the once-admired Yul Edochie family.
• The video portrayed May in a resplendent appearance, exuding confidence and poise, while Danielle’s expression, subdued and distant, became the centerpiece of conversation.

May Edochie, the buzzing Nigerian brand influencer turned actress, has once again found herself at the center of public discourse, this time with a provocative post that seemed to speak volumes without saying a word.

On Tuesday, January 7, her estranged husband, Nollywood star Yul Edochie, celebrated his 43rd birthday. While Yul was showered with love and tributes from family, friends, colleagues, and fans, a deafening silence echoed from May and their daughter, Danielle—a silence that quickly became the talk of social media.

Instead of birthday tribute expected from a wife or daughter, May dropped a striking video compilation on her timeline, showcasing moments from the premiere of a new movie, Reflections, where she stars alongside Nollywood heavyweights Blossom Chukwujekwu, Peggy Ovire, and others.

The post was a calculated highlight reel of her elegance and growing success, seemingly unrelated to her estranged husband’s special day. However, its timing was impossible to ignore.

In the video, May, radiant and poised, walked the red carpet with undeniable confidence, stealing the spotlight. At one point, she turned to call on Danielle to join her for a mother-daughter moment. Danielle, however, appeared reluctant, her mood visibly somber.

Her post quickly became a lightning rod for varied reactions and intense discussions. Many flooded her comment section, questioning why she had chosen to remain silent on Yul’s birthday, with some interpreting her omission as a deliberate snub.

Others focused on Danielle, pointed out her visibly sad and distant demeanor in the video.
