Veteran Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has taken aim at Judy Austin, the second wife of her husband’s nephew Yul Edochie, over comments Judy recently shared about relationships.
Judy advised women to be deliberate and thoughtful in choosing partners, warning them not to marry a man simply because they became pregnant for him.
While her advice may have been well-intentioned, Rita argued that Judy’s own past actions make her unfit to dish out such guidance.
Rita posted on social media, making her position very clear:
“WHEN YOU SEE AN ADVICE THAT CONTRADICTS YOUR PERSON SIMPLY SHUT UP AND REST at one CORNER, SOME PEOPLE ARE VERY INCOMPETENT AND INELIGIBLE FOR THE KIND OF ADVICE THEY DISH OUT… IMPOSSIBLE !!!! IF YOU MUST PREACH IT… THEN YOU MUST BE A PERFECT EXAMPLE.”
She directly challenged Judy’s counsel, saying:
“IN HER WORDS : ‘DON’T MARRY A MAN BECAUSE YOU GOT PREGNANT FOR HIM.’ TO ME , THIS SOUNDS LIKE NOTHING BUT AN INDIRECT SELF JUDGEMENT , A SILENT CONFESSION WRAPPED IN FAKE WISDOM.
HOW CAN SOMEONE BOLDLY PREACH AGAINST AN ACT SHE’S ALREADY GUILTY OF?”
Rita did not hold back on pointing out what she saw as hypocrisy:
“HOW DO YOU WARN OTHERS AGAINST A ROAD YOU BUILT A HOUSE ON ? ISN’T THAT HYPOCRISY WEARING PERFUME?
LET’S NOT PRETEND PLEASE . THAT OTHER WOMAN’S HUSBAND YOU GRABBED , WAS IT NOT BECAUSE YOU GOT PREGNANT FOR HIM? OR WAS IT A SPIRIT YOU CONCEIVED FOR?”
She insisted that advice must come from a place of truth:
“TELL US , WAS IT A GHOST THAT LEFT HIS WIFE AND WENT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS WITH OGBOMMANU MEN TO PAY YOUR BRIDE PRICE THAT IS NEVER RECOGNISED?
LET’S STOP DECEIVING THE PUBLIC IN THE NAME OF ‘ADVICE.’
IF WE MUST PREACH , LET’S PREACH FROM A PLACE OF TRUTH , NOT FROM THE SAME DIRT WE’RE TRYING TO COVER UP.”
Rita highlighted the danger of pretending to be a role model while one’s foundation is shaky:
“DON’T COME ONLINE FORMING SAINT WHEN YOUR HISTORY IS LOUD ENOUGH TO ECHO THROUGH WALLS.
DON’T DISH OUT MORALITY LESSONS WHEN YOUR OWN FOUNDATION IS CRACKED AND SHAKY.
YOU CAN’T PLAY VICTIM IN ONE BREATH AND PRETEND TO BE A ROLE MODEL IN THE NEXT.”
She underscored the difference between attention and relevance:
“DON’T CONFUSE ATTENTION WITH RELEVANCE.
BECAUSE SOMETIMES , THE LOUDEST VOICES ARE THE MOST GUILTY ONES.
LET’S BE REAL. A BLIND MAN CAN NOT LEAD A BLIND MAN.
A BROKEN VESSEL CANNOT TEACH OTHERS HOW TO STAY WHOLE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE!”
Rita concluded with a final warning to anyone offering advice without self-reflection:
“SO BEFORE YOU COME OUT TO ‘ADVISE’ YOUNG WOMEN , CHECK YOUR OWN STORY FIRST. CLEAN YOUR OWN MIRROR.
BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW BRIGHT YOUR MAKEUP LOOKS , YOUR TRUTH STILL BLEEDS THROUGH THE CRACKS.
GOOD MORNING GREAT LOVERS OF RITA EDOCHIE.
BIKO , I NO WANT MEK ANYBODY MEK ME VEX OOOO BODY DEY PEPPER ME OOOO.
I DEY COME WITH THE PART 2.”
Rita’s response has added fuel to ongoing debates about morality, family dynamics, and personal accountability in relationships, making it clear that she believes advice must be backed by personal integrity.
