Controversial Nigerian actor turned clergyman, Yul Edochie has taken a swipe at his ‘envious’ colleagues that have been dragging him.

He sat down for a chat on Our Naija podcast and stated that for the past two years they have been criticising him yet he remains better than them career-wise and in terms of physical appearance.

The Nollywood star said his fellow actors as well as actresses’ envy and attack him over something they know nothing about.

According to Yul Edochie, despite the criticism, he is still relevant and earns more than them as some still make N150,000 per movie role after 10 years in the industry

The actor said; “For the past two years, they have been dragging me, I am still here, doing very well better than many of them if not all of them.

Most of the Nollywood people who are against me, the truth is it is envy. Look at all of them, both the men and women line them up, I am finer than all of them. I am doing better than all of them.

There are some of them who have earned one hundred and fifty thousand per movie for the past 10 years, they don’t grow, for them it is envy.”
