Frank Edoho: They were about to fire me from ‘who wants to be a millionaire’ because my wife lied that I hit her
Frank Edoho is regarded by many as the greatest TV host alive - but this interview was not about ‘Who Wants To Be A Billionaire?’
It’s about the Frank Edoho you’ve never heard about - and the exclusive stories he has never told anyone anywhere.
Like the details of how the sponsors of ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?’ called him to a meeting in Ikoyi, Lagos to fire him because his wife had accused him of being a wife-better. Frank says that never happened, he was in fact the victim, and till today he hasn’t said a complimentary word to his ex-wife because he can’t understand why she did that.
He tells me about:
- the depression and loneliness he has dealt with since his childhood - and that he continues to deal with today.
- his parents’ divorce and how it shattered his sense of sense - and why he fought against it when they tried to get back together. The trauma was too hard to relive.
- how he has learnt not to depend on anyone emotionally apart from his children - because people break your heart and people leave. One must know how to stand alone.
- why he began to buy shoes and why he began to play football - and how his hard comebacks to errant people on Twitter are actually quite therapeutic for him.
And so much more.
The Essential Frank Edoho - like you’ve never seen or heard him before.
