Nollywood star Yul Edochie advises Nigerians to leave social media if they cannot handle the pressure, urging them to deactivate their accounts

Popular Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has issued a stern warning to Nigerians, advising them to leave social media if they struggle with the pressures that come with it.

Taking to his Instagram page, Edochie shared his thoughts amid widespread reports of his wife, Judy Austin, expecting their third child.

While he did not directly address the speculation, his message emphasised the emotional toll of social media.

“Social media is not for the weak. If you can’t take the heat, leave. Deactivate your account. Happy new week, everyone,” he wrote.

His statement comes at a time when he and his wife have been the subject of intense online discussions, with their relationship frequently making headlines.

Edochie’s remarks highlight the increasing pressure that public figures face in the digital age. With social media being a space for both support and criticism, celebrities often find themselves under intense scrutiny.

His advice has sparked mixed reactions, with some fans agreeing that social media can be overwhelming, while others believe public figures should learn to handle criticism rather than suggesting people leave the platforms.
