Nigerian popular actor, Yul Edochie, has told his late son, Kambilichukwu, to continue playing football as he marked his first posthumous birthday.

Yul, in his posthumous message, said his son would have turned 17 on January 04, 2024, adding that it seemed his late son has left football for basketball in the world beyond.

According to him, he never thought a day will come where he would have to compose a post-humous birthday content for him.

Yul wrote: “Kambi yooooo! Happy 17th birthday, my great son. Hope you’re doing well over there. I never knew I’ll ever do a write-up like this, but here we are alive.

“I kept asking God to let me see you again, and he granted my wish. And I saw you once in my dream. You looked much taller and more handsome. And bigger. You were glowing.

“Seems you’re now playing basketball over there and left football. You looked very happy. Obviously, life over there is quite different from here. Down here we’re doing our best to cope.

“It’s not been easy without you around. The pain is terrible. But I’m strong. Very strong. I have to be strong for me and your siblings. While submitting totally to the will of God. We miss you. We love you, but God loves you more.

“You’re elevated now. Keep watching over us all. Keep flying, son. Till we meet again. Don’t stop playing football. Happy 17th birthday, Son. Daddy loves you.”

Yul’s first fruit died in March 2023 after he collapsed while playing football before being rushed to the hospital.
