According to him, he also suffered from the politics during his early days as he was dropped from many movie roles because of his father’s name. Explaining further, Yul said his father’s name made many people envious.

He further explained that this is so because politics is played across everything in the country and not only in Nollywood.

Politics is played in every country and in every industry, not only Nollywood. Ask people in other fields.

“In my early days I was dropped many times too because of my father’s name, it made many envious. But I never gave up”
