Edochie stated this in his Facebook post.
“Listen, I am the best actor in Nigeria. I say it again, Yul Edochie is the best actor in Africa. End of story.
“The intensity that I bring to filmmaking, no other actor in Nigeria can match it,” Edochie said.

Monday Testimony said, “You can’t be the judge of your own case.”
Noble Leo said, “Allow those that watch your movie to say this oga. No be you go tell us if you’re the best or not.”
