Yinka Theisen's Emotional Plea to Ex-Fiancé Linc Edochie
US-based entrepreneur and mental health nurse Yinka Theisen has publicly appealed to her former fiancé, Nollywood actor Linc Edochie, asking him to allow her to move forward from their failed relationship. In a heartfelt message shared on her Facebook page on February 21, Theisen expressed frustration over Edochie's continued public discussion of their breakup nearly a year after their engagement ended.
The Engagement That Lasted Less Than Two Months
Yinka Theisen revealed that their engagement lasted less than two months and ended almost a year ago, yet Linc Edochie continues to announce their breakup on social media repeatedly. She emphasized that such reminders were unnecessary and asked him to focus on his family instead, particularly his two young daughters who need his attention.
"It has been almost a year since our relationship broke up and the people who oppose your brother cheer you on," Theisen wrote. "Biko, for Christ sake, we have heard. Allow me to move on. Our engagement did not even last two months. I should be the least of your problems."
Taking Full Responsibility and Apologizing
Theisen took full responsibility for the relationship's collapse, acknowledging that she had apologized multiple times for hurting Edochie and for allegedly trying to damage his career. She emphasized that she holds no hatred toward him and wishes him well from the bottom of her heart.
"We have both discussed the kind of woman you seek and it is not someone like me," she wrote. "I have apologized and you keep blaming me for everything. Okay I agree. I am to blame 100 percent. Now can we both move on for Christ sake!!?"
Addressing Career Damage Claims
Yinka Theisen specifically addressed Linc Edochie's claim that she tried to destroy his career, offering another apology and praying for restoration in his life. She concluded her message by stating that she needed to focus on what truly matters during the Lenten season, wishing him blessings and asking him to take care.
"You mentioned recently that I tried to destroy your career. I am sorry and I pray God will restore all the damages I caused in your life," she wrote. "Again, I am sorry. Please take care and may Oluwa mega bless you. PS it is lent and I need to focus on what is important now!"
Netizens React to Theisen's Message
The emotional message sparked numerous reactions from social media users who praised Theisen's maturity and heartfelt approach:
- Okeke Becky Ada Afikpo commented: "Great mature words, it is well with you. Peace of mind is very important in a relationship, not just love, God will grant you all you desire."
- Nking Nabih wrote: "You are a kind hearted woman. I love you for that. Just study the Bible and you will see a reason for keeping calm."
- Ugochi Shalom Odo added: "Your Heart is Pure and innocent like that of a New Born Baby. God Mega Blessings My Brown Shugar Lover Girl."
- Ikenna Nnaoma reacted: "This is touching. May God give both you the strength to live in peace without causing problems to each other. This is what we called accepting all wrong doings just to have peace of mind."
Background on the Viral Apology Video
Earlier reports indicated that Yinka Theisen had reacted to a trending video of her apologizing to Linc Edochie, clarifying that the apology was not recent. She explained that she had apologized to Edochie over an interview she granted where she spoke about the actor's ex-wife and daughter, sending the apology to his friend Kingsley Paul and Gene Edochie in June 2024.
Theisen also mentioned that Edochie's divorce documents, passport, and letter to immigration had leaked into the public space, adding another layer of complexity to their public breakup narrative. The emotional appeal marks a significant moment in the ongoing public discussion of their relationship, with Theisen clearly stating her desire to move forward while taking responsibility for her part in the relationship's failure.
