Popular Nigerian filmmaker, Austin Faani has pleaded with trolls to take it easy on his colleague, Yul Edochie who has been receiving criticisms on social media after he took a second wife.
Recall that ever since the movie director took to Instagram to announce that he tied the knot with Judy Austin and acknowledged their son together, social media users have been on his neck.
Austin argued on his Facebook page that social media users should acknowledge that the actor is also a human and take it easy with him.
He claimed that the persecution he is subjected to is heinous and devoid of all affection for a nation like Nigeria that makes religious claims.
Although, he is aware that the actor acted badly, particularly in the manner he handled the matter, which made things worse and caused many to turn away from him.
He said that rather than torturing him, Nigerians should allow him to receive his reward if they think he will eventually get it.
In his words: “Let’s all agree Yul did what we deem wrong both publicly and privately and let us also agree that he is responding in a way we still disapprove and deem wrong.
“However, guys, this guy is a human being, the torment is too bloody and lacks any iota of love for a country that is desperately religious.
“If we think he’s got karma coming, let him receive it but let’s soft peddle at this point and imagine if you were this guy that we all used to love and now he is faced with this life sentence we are giving to him.
“He has a family to provide for, gave a conscience man.
“I know a lot of very dùmb ignorant fellows are going to attack this message, twist and rip it apart in ways that will benefit their momentary insatiable clout desire.
“I am fire, I am ice, I am is all I listen to, anything I add after it is what I crave not what you add.
