May Edochie, estranged wife of Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, recently revealed her reasons for turning down movie roles, despite the lucrative offers. Speaking on comedian AY’s podcast, she shared that although she has been approached by numerous producers and directors over the past three years with attractive pay, she has consistently declined their offers.
May said she has been turning down several movie roles for the past three years.
The businesswoman cum social media influencer added that she does not want to be an actress, even though she is a jack of all trades.
May said, “Omoni said she doesn’t know how I am going to do it, I can’t tell her No. I told her that for the past 3 years, I had gotten script and movie roles, and people were willing to pay mouthwatering amounts. You know, producers have been calling, directors have been calling, some familiar faces have called, and I have rejected everything.
May explained her choice, mentioning that while she has many skills and is often described as a “jack of all trades,” acting is not a path she wants to pursue. Even close friends in the industry, like actress Omoni Oboli, have encouraged her to reconsider, but May remains firm in her decision. Instead, she appears focused on her career as a businesswoman and social media influencer, preferring to chart her course outside of acting.
“I said I didn’t want to be an actor or actress. I know that I am this kind of jack of all trades, master of all kinds, type of person. There are a whole lot of things I can do if I set my mind on it.” said May
