Obasi argued that a real man’s strength lies in his ability to handle or tolerate the excesses of a woman.

Emmanuel Obasi, the ex-husband of Nollywood actress and movie producer Judy Austin, has countered recent advice given by her current partner, actor Yul Edochie, arguing that anyone who cannot handle or control a woman’s excesses is ‘not yet a man’.
He faulted the actor’s counsel on Thursday evening in a now-trending post shared on his official Facebook page.
Earlier, Yul had taken to X to urge men to stop tolerating disrespect in marriages and relationships, claiming: “Your respect as a man is non-negotiable.”
He wrote: “Men, stop tolerating nonsense in the name of marriage or a relationship. If your wife or girlfriend doesn’t respect you, dump her immediately and get someone who respects you.”

His stance on marriage and dating sparked mixed reactions after circulating on social media.
Reacting to the advice, Obasi—who previously accused Yul of snatching Judy Austin from him—said: “If your only option is to run to another woman when you feel disrespected, you will build three football teams, including the fans, in your lifetime in the name of marriage.”
In a post directly countering the thespian, he stated that a real man’s strength lies in his ability to handle or tolerate a woman’s excesses.
He added: “Keep shouting, ‘Your respect as a man is non-negotiable.’ If you can’t take or control a woman’s excesses, you are not yet a man; you’re a boy. So you have to be very careful.”
