Recently, he shared a hilarious throwback photo of himself while he was still a student University of Port Harcourt, making fans feel closer to him by knowing details of his journey in life. The actor who launched his acting career some 13 years ago recently recounted the story of his humble beginnings on social media.

With a photo of him sitting in a public bus, he revealed that in the years where he started acting, he got excited whenever his name appeared on the cast list after an audition as it guaranteed him a seat in the bus used to transport the crew.

Yul who recently defected to People's Democratic Party (PDP) has definitely come a long way from his days of acting in Nollywood. Luckily, he was born into the business being the son of the legendary actor, Pete Edochie. However, Yul made sure to pay his dues and earn a reputation separate from his father's umbrella in the industry.

Many social media users found it easy to resonate with his success story and easily took his advice about not giving up, no matter what they are currently facing.

Yul Edohie is currently aiming to be the next governor of Anmambra state under the flagship of PDP. In fact, he was recently hosted by former President Goodluck Jonathan, whom he claimed told him that he is Nigeria's hope for a better nation.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki.

However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
