Meanwhile, Yul Edochie celebrated his elder brother with a more detailed and emotional tribute, reflecting on the strong bond they share.

Sharing a personal memory, 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.”

Yul also recalled another memory that left a lasting impact:
“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.”

Yul ended his tribute with a heartfelt message of love and prayers:
“I’ll love you forever, big brother.”
