While she mentioned no names, the timing and context were not lost on her followers.
Rita Edochie has been one of May Edochie's most vocal supporters since Yul Edochie's second marriage to Judy Austin became public knowledge, and she has repeatedly made her feelings clear on social media.
Rita Edochie's viral post
In the caption, Rita Edochie painted a vivid picture of a woman who grabs another's husband expecting a glamorous life, only to find herself stuck with disappointment.
Writing in a mix of English and Pidgin, she declared:
"NA NONSENSE YOU SNȦTCHED OOOO. PERSON WEY YOU SNȦTCHED HIM THING GO SPAIN EAT BREAKFAST GO MOROCCO EAT LAUNCH AND YOU DEY HOUSE DEY PEEP AM."
The actress went on to advise women to carefully assess a man before pursuing him, noting that not every husband is worth the trouble:
"BEFORE YOU GO ABOUT SNȦTCHING SOMEONE ELSE'S HUSBAND, PLEASE CHECK THE QUALITY OF WHAT YOU'RE SNȦTCHING FIRST! SOME HUSBANDS ARE SWEET, SOME ARE SIMPLY MEANT TO BE ENDURED AND NOW YOU DEY HOUSE DEY ENDURE."
The post took an even sharper turn when she addressed the allure of wealth and property, suggesting the unnamed woman mistook another woman's hard work for the man's own achievement:
"SHE SAW THE EXOTIC MANSION NOT REALIZING IT WAS BUILT WITH THE SWEAT, SACRIFICE, AND YEARS OF ANOTHER WOMAN'S LABOUR. SHE THOUGHT THE MANSION WAS THE MAN'S MAGIC. SHE CARRIED THE MAN AND LEFT THE MAGIC BEHIND."

"No refund policy"
Rita Edochie concluded the message by stressing there was no going back once a woman commits to such a choice, writing:
"THERE IS NO REFUND POLICY. NO EXCHANGE. NO RETURN TO SENDER."
She closed the post on a cheerful note, wishing her followers a happy weekend and referencing what she described as "QUEEN MAY YUL EDOCHIE'S LONDON TRIP LOADING," a nod to May Edochie, whom she regards as the rightful wife.
The post quickly gained traction, with many viewers interpreting it as yet another instalment in Rita's ongoing public support for May and her long-running commentary on the Edochie family situation.
