Controversial Nigerian actor and politician, Yul Edochie, has said there is too much jealousy and envy among people of his ethnic group, the Igbos.
The Nollywood star shared this assertion through his verified Facebook page on Wednesday and explained why he made the claim.
Yul Edochie said anytime an Igbo person is progressing in anything he delves into in life, his biggest hater would be a fellow Igbo person.
The seasoned actor, who hails from Anambra State, stressed that a successful Igbo man’s enemy might be members of his family.
He called on his fellow Igbo indigenes to change and do better, asking them to stop the envy and the competition.
“Too much jealousy and envy amongst Igbos. Why?? If you’re doing well as an Igbo person, your biggest hater is your fellow Igbo person.
“Sometimes even your family members. Igbos we need to do better. Why? We’re great. Stop the envy. Stop the competition. Things change when we address them,” he wrote.
