How my father, Pete Edochie made us tough – Yul Edochie

Yul, actor and son of Nollywood legend, Pete Edochie has shared how his father’s no-nonsense approach to parenting made his children tough.

Appreciating his father, 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 style no work, she’ll now send someone to go call Popsi.

Omo, Once my Dad comes into the room, standing at the door staring at you with his mean face and his belt in hand bros you go rush 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, no drink for you oo, just water.

😀😀😀😀

Popsi was strict to a fault.

Him no get time to pet you oo.

No nonsense man.

Those days we dey fear am oo.

Now I appreciate him so much.

He made us tough.

Ebubedike 1 of Africa.”
