May Yul-Edochie, the estranged wife of Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, was celebrated in grand style on her birthday, surrounded by close friends, family, and adoring fans. The celebration, which has since gone viral on social media, was a powerful testament to her strength and the public’s affection for her.
The highlight of the celebration was a monumental surprise from her dedicated fan base, the “May Edochie Warriors.” In a move that left many astonished, the fans presented her with a cash gift of one million naira (₦1,000,000) and a live cow—a significant cultural gift often reserved for the highest of honors and celebrations in many parts of Nigeria.

The room erupted in cheers and singing, creating an atmosphere of pure joy and solidarity. Her only daughter, Daniella Dubem Yul-Edochie, was also present, playing a special role in making her mother’s day memorable.
This public celebration marks a significant chapter for May, whose personal life became a subject of intense public scrutiny following her controversial separation from Yul Edochie. The actor’s public announcement of a second marriage and the tragic passing of their son, Kambilichukwu, placed May in the spotlight under incredibly difficult circumstances.
Throughout the ordeal, she has carried herself with immense grace and dignity. While she has moved on with strength and poise, focusing on her business and family, she has retained the Edochie name, a decision respected by her supporters. Her birthday became a focal point for her fans and well-wishers across social media to not just celebrate her birth, but to applaud her resilience.
