Nigerian social commentator Oriretan Honour has stirred conversation online by involving veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie in the ongoing buzz surrounding his son, actor Linc Edochie’s recent second marriage.
It was earlier reported by GistLover that Linc, who was previously married to Amaka Paula Lincoln-Edochie, has now married Yinka Theisen. Yinka, a US resident, is a mother with grown children — her youngest having recently completed high school.
The development has sparked widespread reactions across social media platforms. Among those responding was Oriretan Honour, who directed a pointed message toward Pete Edochie. The critic referenced a recurring trend of polygamy within the Edochie family, mentioning Yul Edochie’s controversial second marriage to actress Judy Austin as another example.
Oriretan expressed concern over what he described as a shift away from Pete Edochie’s long-standing public image of monogamy. He urged the veteran actor to address his sons’ decisions, implying that their marital choices were undermining the legacy of a one-man, one-woman philosophy Pete is known for.
Pete Edochie, the way u’re not doing anything abt ur sons are remarrying 2nd wife is unwise. More unwise how ppl aren’t done with Yul’s sudden 2nd wife, now Linc has added brand new 2nd wife secretly(reports) forgeting they’re ruining ur 1-man-1-wife legacy. U can’t be alive yet watch this happens. A wise man who can’t control his kids, home will lose respect, tagged unwise.U’ve 48hrs to rethink, end this polygamy ruining ur home now that u’re alive else,.Act Fast.Bé wise.Dont be unwise

@Moses Augustine:”He doesn’t have the right to invade…….. extended family.”
@Graduate of CommonSense:”It’s very Unwise of a man who has never been married to call polygamy a ruin. Go and get married first and run it the way you want. It’s even more Unwise to think you can advise Ebubedike.”
@Mecus five comedy:”You are passing your boundary. Pete edochie of all people I warned you Na you no wan hear..I rest my case.”
@Dominic Emmanuel:”Una dey mad o, calling 40 _ 50 age bracket men kids is stupidity. And Pa Pete has no right to interfere in their private matters else invited (even as their father o). These are Men, out of their father’s house and care decade’s ago, what they do with their life is not pa Pete’s business neither those it has impact in his integrity, cose he has raised them already.”
