Frank Edoho slams lawyer who linked marital issues to career setback

Veteran broadcaster Frank Edoho has fired back at an X user who claimed his career decline was linked to marital problems

The online spat began when a user known as Foundational Nupe Lawyer lamented seeing Edoho on TV promoting a betting brand, writing: “The generation that didn’t witness Frank Edoho as the host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire will not understand how bad one feels seeing him on TV again but promoting Bet9ja. 😕

When another user asked what happened to the show, the lawyer replied, “I think the sponsors pulled out and he had some marital issues then.”

Edoho, clearly unimpressed by the remark, quoted the comment and fired back with a sharp response: “Sponsors pulled out because I had marital issues? 🤣🤣🤣 Since we are being stupid, why didn’t your father pull out when you were conceived? After all, he didn’t really like your mother. Tw@t.”

Some fans praised Edoho for defending himself against the false claim, while others criticized the harshness of his reply.

The broadcaster’s departure from the original Who Wants To Be A Millionaire was actually linked to contract disagreements with the show’s organisers, not his personal life, and he has since made returns to the franchise in later years.
