YUL EDOCHIE: Celebrate people while they are alive instead of when they are dead

Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie in a message posted on Twitter wants people to form the habit of celebrating others while they are still alive instead of waiting to spend a lot after death.

The actor who survived a terrible car crash some months ago said that after the accident nobody came to celebrate his life but if he had died many asoebi groups would turn up to celebrate his life.

According to the actor, there is fake love everywhere and we must change the way we reason as a people.

He wrote; “I survived a terrible accident & nobody came to celebrate my life. If I had died many asoebi groups would turn up to celebrate my life, fake love everywhere, someone will even choose to buy a 10million naira casket to bury me. We must change the way we reason as a people,” he tweeted.

Recall earlier this month that the actor turned politician made similar comments on November 3rd, 2019 via his Twitter page.

“I don’t understand the concept of spending so much money on burials. Total waste to me! A person’s life should be celebrated when he or she is alive to join in the celebration, not in death. Some1 once asked me for a loan of some millions to use & bury his father. I was speechless,” Yul posted on Twitter at the time.
