Yul Edochie, the controversial Nollywood actor turned pastor, has finally addressed the criticisms surrounding his inaccurate prophecy regarding the AFCON 2023 final. Prior to the match on Sunday, Yul had boldly predicted that the Nigeria Super Eagles would emerge victorious over Ivory Coast in the final showdown.
Taking to his Instagram page, he confidently stated, “Today’s game will not get a penalty shootout. Nigeria will comfortably defeat Ivory Coast.” However, despite his optimistic forecast, the Super Eagles ultimately suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Ivory Coast.
