However, unlike Pete, Yul Edochie, who also celebrated his elder brother, detailed how Leo has been protective of him from a young age.
Sharing a scenario, Yul wrote,
“In 1998, while I was filling my Jamb form, still indecisive about the University to attend, my big brother Leo, who was already based in Port Harcourt hustling, said to me, ‘put Uniport as your first choice, so you’ll come be with me in Port Harcourt and I’ll keep my eyes on you cos you’re too stubborn, I’ll take care of you’. He did just that. When it was time for me to leave home for school, he drove me to Port Harcourt, took me to Uniport, made sure I completed my registration, got me a hostel, made sure I was fully settled in before he left.”
Recalling another experience with his brother, Yul wrote,
“One night in 1999, we drove to his friend’s place to spend the night, we got into the compound and found out his friend had travelled without dropping his house key for us. I was wondering where we would sleep. My brother said to me, ‘life is tough, it won’t always be easy, but you must be ready to adapt to any situation you find yourself in, never panic. Take down your seat, we’ll sleep in the car. Don’t be afraid, I’m your elder brother, I’ll protect you. Nothing will happen to you. I’ll always be there for you’. We slept in the car till morning. My brother kept his word, from that day till today he has been there for me, through everything.”
