I don’t want to die because of a woman, says Frank Edoho

Frank Edoho, the Nigerian TV host, has opened up about his struggles, saying he does not want a woman to be the cause of his demise.

Edoho, best known as the longtime host of ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire (WWTBAM),’ has recently become a subject of public scrutiny following revelations about his marital history.

He was previously married to Katherine Obiang, a broadcaster, from 2003 to 2010. The union, which produced three children, ended after seven years.

In 2013, the TV host married Sandra Onyenucheya. The pair welcomed their first child in 2014 and a second child in 2016.

Last year, Edoho announced that his second marriage had ended in December 2022 — an experience he described as “devastating”.

The TV host also recently declared that he will never commit to just one woman again. On Tuesday, Edoho said he was gradually moving on from the failed marriage.

Following the breakup, rumours also surfaced alleging that Sandra had cheated on Edoho with a Nigerian singer.

However, Sandra addressed the rumours, accusing the TV host of being involved in multiple affairs during their marriage and mentioning the names of women he allegedly had relationships with.

Speaking on the ‘Outside the Box’ podcast, Edoho revealed he secretly endured a two-year “dark hole” after separating from Sandra, choosing to isolate himself to reorganise his life privately.

“For two years, there was a couple of years back, I was in a very dark hole, but nobody knew. I couldn’t call you guys. I just said, you know what, this is a journey I have to make on myself to reorganise myself. And I’m happy I did. But at the time, I thought that the walls were caving in,” he said.

Reflecting on mortality, the media personality explained his deepest wish for how he leaves this world.

“I don’t want to go to the gates of heaven, and they ask me what killed me, and they say it’s a woman. Whether that woman be my daughter, my wife, or my mother, I don’t want that. I don’t want that to be my way out of this portal,” he said.

“I want to die with a smile on my face, saying that all the people I met, I tried to put a smile on their face, and to have the only regret that I wish I did more good. Not that I wish I had more time, that’s all.”
