But Rita Edochie, in a lengthy Instagram post, dismissed Judy’s authority to speak on cultural matters, accusing her of hypocrisy.
She wrote:
“Is it proper for a married woman in her husband’s house to abduct another married woman’s husband in her home? I just want to know. Aunty traditionalist, I refuse to follow your words and not mind your actions. You can’t be a thief and expect me to learn morals from you.”
Edochie went further, stressing that Judy’s advice carried no weight because she was still “swimming in the very same sin morning, afternoon and night.”
“It’s not only appalling but a big slap on the face of common decency. That’s an improper fraction now. It’s hypocrisy in the highest order,” she added.
The veteran star also questioned Judy’s credibility as a role model:
“Sometime last year, the same person came out to advise women and young girls on how to stay in their husbands’ houses, even though she could not stay in her lawfully wedded husband’s house… What tangible advice can likely come out of a desperate home wrecker?”
Mrs Edochie mocked Judy’s attempt to lecture on tradition, saying:
“Who are you to lecture on traditional matters? Is it not the same tradition that says a woman can’t sleep with another man while she is in her man’s house? Even the Bible talks about it.”
She concluded with biting irony:
“How can the referee be committing fouls and still be bloowing the whistle on everybody else? How can an examiner fail the same examination she is setting for others? The irony is so rich that it deserves its own chieftaincy title. People should at least practice what they preach.”
