Nollywood actor and political figure Yul Edochie has shared a motivational message aimed at aspiring musicians and actors, urging them to take responsibility for their own success rather than relying on handouts or waiting for connections.
In a post on social media, Edochie advised musicians to stop pleading for sponsorship and instead perform at bars and lounges for free, where their talent could capture attention. He emphasized that exposure often starts at grassroots levels.
Similarly, he encouraged upcoming actors not to wait idly for industry connections. Instead, he advised them to seek out active film locations and embed themselves in the scene to create opportunities.

“Good things come to those who work for it.
So don’t sit idle; get up and work.
If you want to be an actor, don’t sit around begging for connections. Ask where films are made, go there, and connect yourself.
If you want to be a musician, don’t sit around begging for sponsorship. Go to bars and lounges and beg them to let you sing for free. There, your talent will be noticed.
Move.
Your destiny is in your hands”.
His comments have sparked conversations online, with many praising his direct and empowering approach to self-development in the entertainment industry.
In other news, Nollywood actress Chacha Eke has once again announced her separation from her husband, filmmaker Austin Faani, offering a heartfelt glimpse into the emotional struggles she’s endured in recent years.
In a candid post on Instagram, Chacha reflected on a series of personal challenges — including the passing of her mother, the heartbreaking loss of a child, and the end of a marriage she once believed would last a lifetime.
Although the couple previously made headlines in 2022 after Chacha accused Austin of domestic violence and later retracted her statement, her latest update has reignited public interest and speculation.
Sharing her thoughts on love and resilience, Chacha wrote:
“I’ve watched the life I built fall apart in front of me and still got up the next morning to keep going. I’ve lost my parents suddenly to death. I’ve said goodbye to the man I thought would grow old beside me. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.”
She emphasized that love without mutual respect cannot thrive, and spoke about confronting pain, disappointments, and responsibilities while choosing to push forward.
The announcement has stirred conversations online, especially in light of her previous public statement and retraction, with fans sending mixed reactions and messages of support.
