Nollywood actress and aunty of Yul Edochie, Rita Edochie has taken to her page to throw some shades while directly it to whom it may concern.


Rita Edochie’s cryptic message on Instagram has gotten fans to wonder about the intended target of these remarks.

Without specifically mentioning Judy Austin, Rita’s post raised many concerns and unanswered questions about how someone could urge a lawfully married lady to give up her husband’s last name.

The post left it up to the followers to figure out that a lady who was allegedly “picked from the street” had the right to carry on her husband’s name.

The complex relationship with Yul Edochie is the foundation of the connection to Judy Austin. Yul was previously married to May Edochie and is currently married to Judy Austin.

May keeps using the Edochie surname despite reports that they are no longer together, which may have contributed to  Judy Austin’s alleged discontent.

She wrote;

“HMMMMM I REALLY DON’T GET IT 0000. HOW CAN YOU ASK A LEGALLY AND LEGITIMATELY MARRIED WOMAN TO DROP THE HUSBAND’S SURNAME WHILE YOU THAT IS PICKED FROM THE STREET HAVE THE RIGHT TO ANSWER HIS NAME? JEEEEESUS NO BE JUJU. BE THAT? ANYWAY KEEP PLAYING.”
