Nollywood actor and director Yul Edochie has shared one of the most significant career lessons he learned from his father, Pete Edochie.

As he approaches the zenith of his profession, Yul disclosed that this is an endorsement from his father, Pete Edochie, who has been on set with him and his second wife Judy Austin.

In a post on Instagram which has become popular with his fans, the deep-voiced actor revealed how his father’s most crucial piece of advice, which was to go back to acting and continue learning before becoming a director has finally yielded dividends.

He said back in 2005 and fresh out of university, he directed his debut movie but his father who he arguably described as the best actor in Africa thought he needed to sharpen his skills by becoming an actor instead. Yul took his advice to heart and immersed himself in acting, becoming one of Africa’s top actors as a result.

He shared a video of the moment his father blessed him alongside the following caption on Instagram;

“The high point of my career. Getting a endorsement from the man who gave birth to me. The Legend and biggest name in Nollywood Chief Pete Edochie.
