“I hurt every time I read derogatory words about you” Austin Faani writes open letter to Yul Edochie, Nigerians

Austin Faani, a Nollywood filmmaker, has penned an open letter to Yul Edochie, expressing his hurt every time he reads a disparaging remark about him.

He recalled a similar occasion in which individuals shouted insults at him with audacity, nearly causing him to die of a heart attack. He revealed that his blood pressure was high, that he palpitated often, and that he was depressed.

He expressed a desire for the insults and trolling to stop, asking how the actor was doing and how he, his former wife May, and his new wife Judy Austin were doing emotionally.

In a message to Nigerians, he encouraged them to stop insulting each other.

“Dear @yuledochie

I’m sorry I have to write to you via the social media space. However, because I want as many as can to read this, I therefore stomach the courage to write you here. I won’t lie, I hurt every time I read the angry and derogatory words thrown at you on social media. In the recent past, I too was in a situation where people hurled insults at me with audacity. Those were perilous days; I nearly died of a heart attack. My blood pressure was high and I palpitated ceaselessly. Depression crept in too. How are you coping mentally Yul, May, & Judy??? I ask because just like me—YOU ARE ALL HUMAN TOO!!! Nigerians have a way of kicking someone endlessly. I sincerely wish for all of these to be over. I wish the insults would end. I wish that we all move on with our lives by respecting Yul, Judy & May’s decisions.

Dear Nigerians, Can we PLEASE quit with the insults? We don’t have to wait for any of the parties (Yul, May, or Judy) to die before we sheathe our swords.
In this triangular tale are some lovely children. Can we please end these embarrassments for their sake? The stigma ohh the stigma.

Let me end with one of my favorite quotes
