“The high point of my career is when I was getting an endorsement from the man who gave birth to me, the legend and biggest name in Nollywood, Chief Pete Edochi,” Yul Edochie said.
He further revealed that in 2005, after he finished his course at the Theatre Arts Department at the University of Port Harcourt, he directed his first movie which starred Chief Pete Edochie.

After the movie, the father advised him that although he tried his best, it would be best if he went fully into acting to learn more as an actor before coming back to directing. An idea he thought was good and workable, he agreed.
“As a man who loves challenges, I took it upon myself to make a mark in Nollywood as an actor. So I went into acting fully and established myself as one of the greatest actors in Africa,” Yul happily stated.
In 2023, he directed his father again in a movie titled ‘The Godfather’, which impressed his father.
“I blew him away with my artistic prowess and leadership skills. He finally gave me my accolades.
I earned it,” he joyfully disclosed.
Yul further narrated that his father has always been on his side despite the challenges he was undergoing especially in his career journey.
“When my dad did not hold my hand, he had my back. My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person. He believed in me,” the actor affirmed.
