"I wanted to motivate them and keep them away from peer pressure. Parents must be able to motivate their children and set target for them. The minimum target for each of them was to graduate from higher institution; their reward upon graduation is a car. And where I come from, it is important to keep one’s word; I bought the car for each of them. Yul who is over 30 (pictured above) is the last born and he got his too.” Pete Edochie tells <a href="http://www.thenollywoodreporter.com/2014/01/pete-edochie-i-bought-cars-for-six-of-my-children/" style="color: #b41e20; text-decoration: none;">The Nollywood Reporter</a></blockquote>

It's no longer news that Pete Edochie's son, Yul Edochie is into acting and is currently the most sought after actor in nollywood. However, it might interest you to know that star actress Rita Edochie's two children have equally joined acting like their cousin, Yul. Rita Edochie is married to Pete Edochie's younger brother.  The beautiful and talented Rita Edochie disclosed this to Entertainment Express in a recent interview. She disclosed that her second daughter, Amanda Maria Edochie and first son, Great Valentine Edochie are now into acting and are both doing well.  What do you guys think about this development? I love Rita Edochie, I think the daughter is pretty, though I don't know her acting prowess yet.

If you are not aware of this. There is a 24-year old Kenyan model who 
claims actor Pete Edochie is his biological father. Well you will get to
 hear more from him in this interview with Alonge Michael. Tell me a bit about yourself? I’m
 24 years old, raised by an awesome single mother, who I would gladly 
give an organ to. I am working so hard to live my dream which is to be 
the best in the world as an actor / model and a movie maker... I love 
life and have very fun-loving people around me. I always grow to be me 
and no one else. 
 How and where did you grow up? All over, with my mum and my grand folks, in Kenya. 
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5438533803477296299" name="more"></a>   
With your mum; how about your father? Hmmm, I don’t know, I never met him. Can you tell us why? I can't …He is a magician ...had me and disappeared, so I can't tell much about him.   
Aside Kenya, where would you love to live? My father’s land ... Nigeria  Nigeria? Yes,
 Nigeria! I learnt he’s a prominent and well known and respected actor 
in Nigeria from the South Eastern part of the country, as I am made to 
believe by my mum. That’s the little I know about him. Are you sure? My mum said so, in fact, he’s still very much an active participant in the industry. 
Taking a closer look at yourself, who do you think your dad is? Well, my mum said and I want to believe her that multiple award-winning actor, Pete Edochie is my biological father. 
 How sure are you? I can't prove it; I only got wind of it last year. 
 Can you give us reasons why you can’t prove it? Distance and lack of information from both of them, my mum and him, that is, my biological father, Pete Edochie. 
 But does your mum realise that you need to know who your true father is? She does, she kept it away from me until last year when she told me about it. I was shocked.   
Have you made effort to reach Pete Edoche after that revelation? Yes
 I have, like any other man who might not be in the know about an 
existing biological child of his; he denied. Saying he has never been to
 Kenya in his entire life. 
 
Through what means did you reach out to him? My mum sent 
someone to him and the person return with his message that he said he 
never had any fling with anybody in Kenya because he has never been 
there in his entire life. 
 What was your reaction when he said that? It’s either he’s lying or he has a twin brother. 
 
This fact you have is not enough to call him your father…. There are talks here and there that he used to live in Nairobi in Kenya in a small town called Buru Buru. What year? 1987-1988   
Has it ever occurred to you that your mum might not be factual about this? I
 believe my mother. She has always been there for me, I don’t see a 
reason why she would lie or hide any information about my father or 
paternity. This is not a matter to be joked with.   
So she told you that Pete Edochie, Nigerian bearded actor is your father? Yes she did. 
Doesn’t your mother have a picture or something she can put down as evidence? She
 was having a picture of the two of them together, according to her, she
 gave it to a friend to help trace him and that friend said he has 
misplaced the picture. Now you can see the critical situation I have 
been placed.   
What surname do you bear? Muriithi How? That’s not a Nigerian name as you claim to have a Nigerian father… Some
 other man took responsibility of bringing me up but he also left soon 
after my sister was born, but his mother brought me up that's why I kept
 the name. He’s a Kenyan. 
 Did this other guy too divorce your mum or just left like your dad? Left, my mum was never married to any of them . 
What attempt have you made to come to Nigeria and solve this riddle once and for all? If a man wants nothing to do with me and I believe him to be my father, I also don't want much to do with him.   
From the look of things, I guess only DNA can settle this paternity issue? If
 he truly hasn't been to Kenya as he claimed and I take him through all 
that, he will hate me the more, so DNA test seems like a long thing 
right now. I want to believe that everything happens for a reason. I am 
made to succeed in life. I am not looking for money or anything from 
Pete, just his acceptance. But of what use is the success for a man to 
deny the paternity of his child. It’s cruelty and all of us shall meet 
to account for our various deeds on earth. 
The burden now rests on your shoulders to press further on the paternity
 issue, since you know your mum is not making a mistake then you should 
stand as a man to unravel the mystery surrounding your birth. May
 be this is how God wants it. In Kenya, I am a big name and I have 
followership but in God I trust. Thanks for your advice anyway   
Lastly, what’s that secret desire? I would love to be buried in Nigeria, the land of my father. 
Thanks for your time You are welcome

Nigeriafilms.com recently had a chat with a certain model and actor 
in Kenya, the young man exclusively told us that the veteran actor, Pete
 Edochie is his father but he has on several occasions denied his 
paternity.

He’s popularly known as Ephy Saint in Nairobi, Kenya where he reigns 
supreme as a model and a thespian of note. This actor cum model is yet 
to unravel the mystery surrounding his paternity as he claims to be a 
son to the veteran actor, Pete Edochie, popularly known as Okonkwo by 
movie buffs. 
 
In an exclusive interview with Ephy Saint recently, the 23-year old 
entertainer, who resides in Kenya, said he would love to be buried in 
Nigeria where his father, Pete Edochie, resides.

Well, we may see him as a child whose paternity has not been legally 
established, however, what if his revelations about Pete Edochie being 
his father are actually true? Wait till tomorrow as we bring you all the
 full details of his life with his mother who told him about his 
Nigerian actor father.
