Lagos, Nigeria – October 8, 2025 – The ongoing saga between Nollywood power couple-turned-estranged partners, May and Yul Edochie, has taken a humorous yet biting turn, courtesy of controversial online personality Radiogad. In a scathing social media post that’s racked up thousands of likes and shares, Radiogad reacted to May Edochie’s recent revelation about meeting her ex-husband at a GCE examination center, quipping, “No wonder Yul Edochie’s career is still at GCE level…”
The comment, dripping with sarcasm, pokes fun at Yul’s professional trajectory while highlighting the stark contrast in the couple’s post-separation glow-ups. May, the poised entrepreneur and mother of three, dropped the nostalgic bombshell during a candid lifestyle podcast interview earlier this week. Reflecting on their teenage years, she shared, “We didn’t meet at a party or any glamorous settings, we met at a GCE centre.” At the time, May had freshly relocated from Lagos to Enugu State University to chase her degree as a self-proclaimed “bookworm,” while Yul was grinding through his studies at the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT). Their paths crossed in the unassuming hum of exam halls—far from the red carpets and spotlights that would later define Yul’s acting career.
Fast-forward two decades, and the fairy tale has soured. The Edochies’ 2023 split, triggered by Yul’s controversial second marriage to actress Judy Austin, has been a tabloid feast of lawsuits, leaked chats, and public shade. May, now thriving with business ventures and film cameos, has emerged as the internet’s queen of grace under fire. Her GCE anecdote, meant to underscore their humble beginnings, instead became fodder for Radiogad’s roast. The online provocateur, known for his unfiltered takes on celebrity drama, implied that Yul’s career—once meteoric—has stagnated at “O-level” basics, a dig at perceived creative droughts amid personal scandals.
Social media erupted, with #YulEdochieGCE trending alongside memes of exam pencils morphing into movie scripts. Fans of May flooded timelines with praise: “Queen May met her king in the classroom, built an empire, and left with the crown intact,” one user tweeted. Yul loyalists fired back, accusing Radiogad of bitterness, while neutral observers chuckled at the wordplay. “GCE level? Man’s been retaking the same plot twists since 2004,” quipped another.
Neither Yul nor May has publicly responded to the jab as of press time, but the actor’s history with critics like Radiogad suggests fireworks could be imminent. Radiogad, no stranger to beef (he once called out Yul as a “confused” church-founder in June), has solidified his rep as Nollywood’s unofficial roast master. As May continues to bag deals and Yul navigates his “Idimma” era, this latest zinger reminds us: in Tinseltown, even exam nostalgia can spark a career autopsy.
Stay locked for updates—will Yul clap back, or is this just another page in the Edochie exam booklet?
