Ekwutos BlogMedia personality Frank Edoho has opened up about his previous marriage and the domestic violence allegations that nearly ended his career as host of the popular game show “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire (WWTBAM).
In a recent appearance on the “WithChude” podcast, Edoho reflected on his seven-year marriage to Katherine Obiang, with whom he shares three children.
He described their union as a “mismatch” and admitted that both parties played a role in the challenges they faced.
After their separation, rumours of domestic violence began to circulate, which Edoho vehemently denied.
He disclosed that these allegations created a career crisis, as sponsors of “WWTBAM” pushed for his removal as the show’s host.
Edoho recounted a pivotal meeting with his boss and the sponsors, during which he presented evidence and gave his account of the events leading to the end of his marriage.

This, he said, helped clarify the situation and defend his position.
The media personality’s revelations shed light on the personal and professional hurdles he navigated during a turbulent chapter of his life.
He said: “My ex-wife was my friend, and there were children involved. I think ours was a mismatch; I was young. When she got pregnant, I had cold feet, but I still got married. It lasted seven years, and in 2010, I left. Three years later, I remarried.
“Being friends with the opposite sex doesn’t mean you should get married because that’s a different ball game. In hindsight, maybe I should have thought about it a bit more.
“She was my good friend, but I think it was love too. I also believe we didn’t examine our relationship thoroughly before we delved into it. I’m not going to say it was solely her fault; it was my fault too, but not in the way people were depicting it.
“That was one of the times I was very depressed, but I couldn’t say anything. The first crisis happened in 2007, but I still stayed on for three years; then it came to a head in 2010, and I left.
“When I left, I was still doing Who Wants to Be a Millionaire; then all of a sudden, I was in the UK, and my boss called me and told me to come back to Lagos because the sponsors were hearing things about me.
“They said I wasn’t going to present this show anymore because of those rumours. I got on a flight the following morning to attend a meeting with them.
“Luckily, my boss knew everything because I’d been telling him about the altercations between us. I was also thinking about my children. They said I committed domestic violence and I was a wife-beater.
“After listening to them, I told them I would tell them everything starting from when I was dating. By the time I reached marriage and the birth of my son and first daughter, two of the ladies were crying.
“I was providing accounts of everything that happened, and I told them that I have receipts. I said nobody divorced me; I took my suitcase and left the marriage.
