Lagos, Nigeria – October 13, 2025 – The Edochie family feud has reignited with explosive force as US-based healthcare worker Yinka Theisen, ex-partner of Nollywood actor Linc Edochie, unleashed a blistering social media tirade against May Yul-Edochie and veteran actress Rita Edochie. In a video that’s already clocked over 300,000 views on Instagram, Theisen declared, “Don’t stop the fight, I’m just starting,” positioning herself as a relentless warrior ready to dismantle what she calls the “phony” empire of May’s loyalists, dubbed “May Nation.” The post, laced with sarcasm and sharp jabs, has polarized Nollywood’s online sphere, turning a simmering marital scandal into a full-blown digital battlefield.
Theisen, 56, who was briefly engaged to Linc – Yul Edochie’s brother – earlier this year before their dramatic split amid family drama, didn’t hold back in her latest rant. Addressing Rita Edochie directly as an “old witch,” she mocked the actress’s public pleas for her to “open her walls” for trolls, claiming it was a sly tactic to unleash harassment. “You told me to open my comment section so your May Nation could attack me – that’s witchcraft, bring it on!” Theisen fumed in the clip, her voice dripping with defiance. Turning to May, whom she branded a “silly Queen,” Theisen questioned her post-divorce glow-up: “If she was that great, why would another woman steal her husband? She still carries not only the man’s last name but his first name – Yul-Edochie? Girl, let go!” She accused May of clinging to the past, issuing cease-and-desist letters while hypocritically fueling fan wars against Judy Austin, Yul’s second wife, and herself.
The video, timestamped late Saturday, builds on months of bad blood. Theisen, who once counted herself among May’s supporters, flipped the script after praising Yul and Judy online – a move that allegedly sparked “May Nation’s” backlash, including leaked personal details, workplace petitions, and threats to her children. “They wrote to my employers saying I was bullying a ‘suicidal woman’ – May’s not suicidal, she’s strategic,” Theisen alleged, vowing to expose more “evidence” like WhatsApp chats where May supposedly sought her help. Her call to arms – “Don’t stop the fight, I’m just starting… I’m ready for May Nation” – has rallied her own corner, with hashtags #YinkaFightsBack and #EdochieExposed surging on X and TikTok.
Netizens are split down the middle, turning the saga into meme gold. May’s defenders, including Rita Edochie’s fans, slammed Theisen as “mentally unwell” and “bitter,” with one X user posting: “Yinka needs her pills – from Linc’s bed to begging for relevance.” Rita herself, who has vocally backed May since Yul’s 2023 polygamy bombshell, threw subtle shade last month, praising May’s “unwavering commitment” while contrasting it with “others” like Theisen. On the flip side, Theisen’s supporters hailed her as a truth-teller: “Finally, someone calling out the fake queens. May Nation is a cult – Yinka, drag them!” one Instagram commenter cheered, echoing frustrations over May’s silence amid the chaos. The feud traces back to Yul’s marriage to Judy, which shattered his 18-year union with May and birthed “May Nation,” a fan army that’s clashed with everyone from bloggers to family in-laws.
This isn’t Theisen’s first rodeo; she cut short a self-imposed social media break in September to roast May for allegedly snubbing her engagement news, claiming, “She never congratulated us – jealousy much?” Family counselor Dr. Ifeoma Nwosu, speaking to Pulse.ng, warns the endless shade-throwing erodes healing: “These public call-outs glorify toxicity in a culture already strained by polygamy debates. May’s grace is her power; Yinka’s fire might burn her own bridges.” With Yul and Judy thriving in their “second chance” narrative and May rebuilding via empowerment posts, Theisen’s vow signals no ceasefire. “Gather around your queen and encourage her to let go – but leave me out,” she signed off, perfume emoji in tow for extra sting.
As #MayNationVsYinka trends with over 50,000 mentions, one thing’s clear: in Nollywood’s endless drama reel, Theisen’s just hit play – and she’s cranking the volume. Will Rita clap back? Will May break her dignified hush? Stay tuned; this family’s script writes itself, one viral video at a time.
