“Edochie Name Brings War, Not Peace” – Actress Esther Nwachukwu Alleges Family Conspiracy Against May

Nollywood’s Esther Nwachukwu, popularly known as Esther Sky, has ignited a fresh wave of controversy surrounding the Edochie family, urging May Edochie to drop her estranged husband’s surname amidst escalating tensions. The actress, in a blunt viral video posted on June 25, 2025, claimed the once-respected family has allegedly turned against May in what she described as a calculated plot to isolate and silence her.

The drama deepened after Yinka Edochie, the new wife of Yul’s brother, Linc, published May’s phone number online—an action many viewed as malicious. Esther claimed such behavior could only be the result of backstage plotting. “There’s no way she’d come online and drag Queen May unless the family had discussed and sanctioned it,” she stated.

Calling for May’s complete legal dissociation from the family, Esther insisted that clinging to the Edochie name only prolongs her pain. “Drop the name so that peace can reign,” she said. “There’s nothing magical about bearing Yul Edochie’s name, especially when that name now carries chaos.”

The actress went on to allege that all of Yul’s siblings had either been “bought” or are complicit in silence. “If you’re not part of the conversation behind closed doors, your wife wouldn’t come to the public to drag an innocent woman. May is being targeted,” she claimed, further fanning speculations that the Edochie family is more divided than ever.

This latest call for May to renounce the name comes after a year of emotional turmoil following Yul Edochie’s marriage to actress Judy Austin and the family’s increasingly public feuds. Fans have continued to rally behind May, praising her resilience despite the betrayals and trauma she has publicly endured.

Social media has erupted once again, with divided opinions. Some users argue that May should stand her ground and continue to carry the name for her children’s sake, while others agree with Esther, calling the Edochie name “a brand of disgrace” that should be dumped like dead weight.

This controversy shows no signs of slowing down, with May yet to issue a formal statement. However, as the Edochie family saga continues to unravel, many observers believe the damage to their once-revered legacy may already be irreversible.
