Nigerian actor Yul Edochie sparked a lively online discussion with his latest social media update, where he requested to be addressed as "Father Abraham."

Sharing on Instagram, the filmmaker encouraged his followers to call him "Abraham, father of many nations," which prompted confusion among many.

This allusion to Abraham, the biblical figure renowned for his multitude of descendants, has ignited speculation regarding the intention behind his words.

“New name alert. Anywhere you see me, call me Abraham father of many nations” Yul Edochie wrote.

His outburst has elicited reactions online. Many attacked him, claiming that he did not deserve to be called that name while others speculated if he was expecting another child with his second wife.

He doesn’t want to loose his wife and family but the other woman has gone far in what she did to get him. Yul’s soul is restless, forget all he’s doing here. The Edochies family are weak, else who is Judy to have held their son to ransom”
