A fresh controversy is brewing between Nollywood actress Anita Joseph and the loyal supporters of May Edochie, known as “May Nation.”
The uproar began after a clip from Anita Joseph’s Facebook livestream went viral online. In the video, Anita—who has often been seen publicly supporting May—addressed the backlash constantly directed at Yul Edochie and his second wife, Judy Austin.
During the livestream, Anita urged May’s fans to stop dragging the couple and let the matter rest:
“You people should leave this thing and move on. It’s been how many years? Did May come to you people to complain? You guys are stressing the woman by reminding her all the time. Make una rest, they just have a beautiful child. The last thing I will do is troll a child. Let Yul rest, let Judy rest. I don’t have a problem with Yul and Judy. If I see Yul, I will greet him.”
Anita’s comments did not sit well with May Nation, who wasted no time calling her out for what they saw as betrayal and insensitivity.
In response to the backlash, Anita shared a cryptic post on social media, indirectly addressing her critics:
“Biko believe anything you hear about me. You can add more to sweeten it if you like. Aramashiogri mba ana abaluagu. Oburosounu na apu ala. E bi like say una forget Anita Joseph nobody can push me around. Okwa Chukwu kam na asopulu maka ministry. Shallom.”
However, her defiant tone only fueled the outrage. Fans continued to slam her under various posts:
- @Chinny Adogu: “Pesin go misyarn, instead of keeping quiet or apologizing, she go de form confident and outspoken. Madam take a seat several spaces behind. Na only you de mad.”
- @Obianuju Millicent: “If you think you are mad respond to Angela Okorie who accused you openly for swallowing everything evil. You don’t have that nerves nah! Everybody is forming Jagaban on May matter. Madam go and rest! You’re just jealous of May, that’s all.”
- @Adeola Adebiyi-Abe: “Jealousy don finish you Anita. Betrayers don’t rest. You come for May, we come for you. Mother hen ko, crocodile pikin ni.”
- @Uwandu Lambert: “Anita Joseph, if them born you well, just mention Queen May’s name again… her soldiers are out for you. You get mouth, right? We are ready for you.”
- @Lovelifestyle O. Eucharia: “Shatapiii dia. Lady A, 2face, May Nation no dey look face o. If not for Queen May, who resurrected your dead career, who even noticed you? Shalom.”
The heated exchange underscores the ongoing tension within the Nollywood fan community—especially when it comes to May Edochie, who continues to enjoy unwavering support from her fanbase.
