Yinka Theisen, the estranged lover of Nollywood actor Linc Edochie, has announced a sudden break from social media, citing intense trolling and online toxicity. Her decision has sparked a wave of reactions—mostly mocking—particularly from supporters of May Edochie, who wasted no time celebrating her exit.
In what appears to be a farewell message laced with sarcasm and exhaustion, Yinka took to her social media platform to announce that she was stepping away from the online world, at least for now.
The post, which quickly gained attention, saw Yinka openly express her relief at logging off. She stated:
“To whoever is next in line for the trolling—good luck.”
She further hinted at the mental toll the digital onslaught had taken on her, attributing much of the hostility to the monetization of online content, where “lies pay more than truth.”
Yinka, who has previously spoken about her struggles with mental health and was recently rumoured to have suffered a health scare involving high blood pressure, stated that her break was a choice to prioritize “people who truly matter.”
In a parting prayer, she wrote:
“May the Lord guide those who fabricate stories about me to find another target.”
Despite the bitterness, she closed her message with defiance and faith:
“I have conquered. No amount of hate can block God’s blessings. Love wins at last.”
But if Yinka expected sympathy, she got the opposite. May Edochie’s fans took over online comment sections with laughter and jabs, many reminding her of past comments where she boldly challenged trolls to do their worst.
One trending reply read:
“Shame wear you abaya! You say make dem bring am on, now you dey run?”
Another commenter wrote:
“So you close your comment section and expect us to say goodbye in silence? Be calming down!”
Others claimed they were disappointed not to have the final word, with one fan cheekily writing, “We go wait for your comeback. Nobody dey escape from this street!”
Yinka’s name has become increasingly entangled with online drama following her alleged relationship with Linc Edochie and the indirect feud with May Edochie’s loyal fanbase. Her hospital admission weeks ago due to high blood pressure only intensified the speculation and concern about the emotional strain she was facing.
As Yinka bows out from social media—at least temporarily—the trolling shows no signs of slowing down. Her departure may offer her peace for now, but in the court of public opinion, especially in the digital world of Nigerian celebrity culture, few ever leave quietly… or for long.
