 Yel Edoche took to his social media account on Saturday to upload a short video uploading the united energy of all Nigerians against his choice of a second wife According to him, the energy came from all over the country from all tribes, tongues and people He said, see what we did on Wednesday, we shook the world and are still shaking it The energy you all applied and are still applying is unmatchable He is then asking Nigerians to support his presidential ambition with the same energy He is also asking them to contribute money for him to buy the nomination form The energy is united The energy knows no tribe, no religion, no gender The energy is coming from the north, from the south, from the east and the west and indeed the whole world Once again, the energy is united My fellow Nigerians, please, please I appeal to you Give me the presidential form and together Yes, my name is Yel Edoche and I'm running for president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2023 When I'm being joined by a public affairs commentator, Adene Kono Good evening No religion Thank you for joining us on our prime time news My name is Yel Edoche and I'm running for president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria What do you make of that? That sounds interesting Let me see It's been back and forth I saw when there was an announcement regarding the new baby from the second woman and I saw how social media was a God People were actually sending messages from their sugar daddy's bedroom and their boyfriend's backyard Everybody has something to say Forgetting the fact that a man that has kept his home for 17 years knows quite a lot that many others do not understand Having said that, let's get on to the most serious part of this conversation I think that the energy we find is a confirmation of the strength of the social media and many millennials who are on the social media Absolutely It is also indicative of the level of positive energy we could muster if at all there is a national issue and everybody tries to be part of it so that we can have effective change that will bring lasting solutions to the ever-increasing problems of the country Amazing I think that is very fundamental I think that if everybody contributed 100 nara in less than 2-3 days we could arrive at 100 million That is if at all I may be interested in putting some of my own money But of course people like us would have to pay more than 100 nara if at all we want to get into the business of that But I also think that beyond this is the fact that people must learn one thing very fundamental Everybody's marriage is their business Somebody may put something on social media I think it is very key for the people who have their hands clean to be the only one justified to talk about a month's decision to take a second wife Essentially the business of marriage is actually the concern of those persons that are in it And I always tell people if your relationship doesn't have anything called violence then the world should shut up If a man can take 15 wives and decides to be responsible towards them I don't think there is a law in this country that says that after all the anathema for you was able to secure about 18 before you died And I didn't see so much recriminations I didn't see so much of conversations around the things you did that would have made us call him a criminal So I think that Nigerians should also learn to mind their businesses when they come to certain things But the important is the fact that Nigerians should get into the business of moving this country forward using the same energy such as what you did in the video you played before so that we can bring solutions to the problem of Nigeria Absolutely, I like your submission Mr Knotum However, let me bring home a point here First and foremost, Nigerians are not particularly against taking a second wife But the manner in which you went about it is what brings a cause for concern like you've been cheating on your wife and then without having a conversation with her you just suddenly brought in the side cheek and all that as a second wife that's on the one side On the other side, I agree with you that every man's marriage is their business But once you've come on social media to put it in a public space then it becomes everybody's business Anyway, living that on the one side the other part is with or without a second wife with the manner in which he's portrayed himself in the social media space Do you think what meaning Nigerians will take him seriously? Well, let me first of all say that Okay Let me first of all bring this to light because it is very very important to do so When somebody is in a relationship with another woman No man has the strength of instinct that our wives have Women are blessed with that Women have the capacity to sense something a thousand times before the reality comes to light It therefore means that no man who has ever had a second wife who didn't at some point or the other sit somewhere, spoke with a wife and the first wife cannot find ignorance when we talk about a man meeting or discussing with a woman that he makes his second, his third or his fourth wife That is the fact of the matter But having said that you're talking about some businesses on social media being everybody's concern Some people may just want to express their gratitude and just put stories on social media If you don't like it, nobody is going to take you to court for that So it could be an individual's business Sorry to cut in here Sorry to cut in here I do agree with you that women have a lot of intuition naturally but Dastel does not take the place of you having a proper conversation with your partner over a matter that's going to affect her and her children, her four children for that matter That shows some level of, without judging that may smack to some women as a suspect Anyway, let's move away from that But do you then think with all this going on do you think well-meaning Nigerians will still take him seriously? Well, as I've said I think it's important for us to understand that the business of politics is not so much as what we'll have to use alone to qualify people in terms of political leadership as the business of marriage Marriage is good when it is stable And let me say this No matter what happens between a couple Only that couple understands the extent of the issue Outsiders do not have a grasp of it So I think that some segment of Nigerians will take him seriously because they show that he didn't quite respect the wife even if he wanted to take another wife But another segment of Nigerians will see him as somebody that as a man he should be able to make a decision Perhaps maybe he has had the conversation with the wife early in the marriage because they will see this can be a long time with four children to make it forget that a man or woman will come in the first place And for the people who have read China's Shibuya's Arro of God China Shibuya's Arro of God you find out that perhaps on the Jopulan Road now at some points don't forget that Okunpo himself took more than a wife and in one of that periods where land that Okunpo was saying that when one of his wives become water definitely another wife will take it that's actually what Okunpo said So perhaps a Yuliduchi on a lighter note is actually an adent follower of China Shibuya's series Beginning with Arro of God and of course it's also a reflection of the Igbo society So let's also say something that is very important We have fictive literature We have fictive narrative We could also have faction So I need you to also understand that the history of the Igbo as actually recorded in the literary work of Diogidi talking about Shino Achebe it's a reflection of what the Igbo society concerns hundreds of years before the current Western civilization So I need us to also understand at the same time that for many people who believe we live in 2022 if you really have studied the Igbo way of doing things and the nature of their right price the statement you often make by being able to fill the being of your marriage with the Ibanku and the rest simply means you have the power to possess the woman et al. and by extension you have all the rights to do what you have to do violence out of it I must emphasize Ok then now that's a good place to come because of the Igbo culture and many people should also talk about when a man pays all the money and brings out the 63 bars of yam he owns the woman head to toe so that's also important Ok I see where you're coming from now Ok then Now looking at all this let's now put all this side by side with this presidential ambition to the court I never saw this coming Did you? Well I I know that there's going to be a likelihood of leveraging what some people have done in Anambra they don't forget that in the entire south it's redone the state of Anambra has always had a history of fierce contest when it comes to gubernatorial election and I think that I really have to expect something of that nature from Nolingu considering the fact that the UNIDUCI is actually caught from the cloth that is very respectable and very popular as far as this country is concerned so perhaps it feels let me excel in areas where my father never dared to tread and he has to do more than his father had done as much as I never expected that I just believe that we cannot circumscribe the UNIDUCI's right that the constitution section 6 actually has a shrine it's right to associate it's right to vote and be voted for so I think it is taking advantage of this fundamental human right and being able to participate in an election where many Nigerians have of course been calling for youth representation then it's trying to also leverage the popularity that the Nolingu platform has given and don't forget that the United States of America has also produced a president who was in Hollywood so I think that people should understand that it is not going to be novel in political history to have somebody come from the entertainment industry into politics do not also forget we have the likes of Chef Shanku former Ukrainian footballer that at once tried to become a youth political figure we have the Plesko family a very popular boxer here in Ukraine as we speak so I think that the entertainment in Plesko can also produce people that are very intelligent and I think that despite the fact that with the sponsors what he has done with regard to taking another woman but that first of all ironing it out with his wife we cannot also take it with the fact that he could have certain capacities that many of us have not seen politically so let us try to allow them to manage their home affairs so that we can help look at what he has to offer politically after all said and done Nigerians will be able to decide whether they will buy the form and if he gets the form he has to cross the hurdle of being an aspirant to a candidate then Nigerians will eventually decide whether it is their choice for the presidency amazing amazing submission from you tonight I must thank you very much for coming to reach our bulletin tonight well at this point I think it should be a good idea to bring he'll do to himself on our knees at one point sometimes soon to ask him what is what is bringing to the table we need to know what is bringing to the table in any case he has not mentioned any political party is running on he has not told us if he wants to be an independent candidate he has not told us what he wants to to achieve when it becomes a president so at the first side when I first saw the video I honestly thought it was just kidding like just wanted to distract Nigerians from the president issue of his marriage that's what I thought so what do you what do you I mean I don't even know how to put this question maybe we should bring him on the show to talk to him because is he hoping to run as an independent okay let me just ask you what what do you see as fortunes for him if he decides to run as an independent candidate well in the first place let me say that at the last amendment independent candidates he did not fly through it was struck out many Nigerians even think that independent candidates he was part of the last amendment permitted so you let the chair they cannot run as an independent candidate because it wasn't part of what was approved for amendments so the lecture at whatever it is that has been done with the constitution that it didn't fly but don't forget that we have a lot more parties perhaps the most popular party in Anambra city Apgar and Apgar provided the platform because I've actually not seen any strong personality coming from Apgar don't forget that the APC said it's 100 million the PDP told us there is 14 million the SDP said it's 16 million maybe the fund for Apgar would be 5 million and it would be easy for people to buy the fund for it so you never can tell we also have other parties we have the african democratic congress and many other parties whose fund may not be as expensive as that of the APC and the PDP but it is important for you to understand that immediate parameters are done with don't forget PDP would have their primaries 20th to 29th of May APC would have theirs 30th to 31st so I think that after that time we will not be talking about any major primaries by anybody so you have to make a decision quickly so that I just can know how much you want to contribute for it but importantly is to find a way to go to schools in the blue chair into the studio as well because apart from his good looks and capacity you can't take away intelligence from the blue chair because you don't rise to the top of your career and not if you are not brilliant, if you are not intelligent and do not also forget that one of the things people look at is the appeal of candidates for instance there are people who may not appear on TV forever because they may be intelligent but their face may scare people off and the blue chair has a lot of pluses for him he has the looks, he has the intelligence he also has the voice the soft voice I think that you often have to look at there is a young man and at times when you shoot for the moon you can get the stars or you shoot for the stars you can get the moon so it could even mean that for you Lebruchier if he tries to go for the presidency and doesn't get it he may eventually be given the privilege of maybe the candidates or maybe as the lawmaker at some point or the other perhaps yes because his bargaining chip is also very important so for somebody to have command and search followership in Hollywood it is a huge positive it brings together so let's look away from his marital challenges and see how much he is able to put together on the political platform that's where I stand on the matter thank you I think you Lebruchier needs to hire you as his campaign director I don't know no no no thank you thank you for your time
