However, Yul has figured out why all these are happening to him.

In a brief chat with Nigeriafilms.com, the proud father of three said; As a celebrity or a successful person in life you should expect such things. Challenges, temptations will always come your way.

People will try to bring you down. It’s normal. But I focus on where I’m heading to and I just take them in my stride and move on. I believe God will keep me where he has put me.”

He also talked about how his father influenced his career: ?”No extra push from my father. He encouraged me to follow my passion, my dream, which is being an actor and film director. That’s all. But I worked hard on my own to be here. I started from the scratch.”
