The voice and face behind Nigeria’s Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Frank Edoho, has never hesitated to ask the tough questions.
But this time, he’s turning the spotlight inward, revealing that his second marriage to Sandra Onyenuchenuya has quietly come to an end.
On a recent episode of the Tea With Tay podcast, the usually composed broadcaster made a raw confession: “Maybe I’m not good at marriage, I must confess.”
The line, delivered with a sigh and an air of self-awareness, sent shockwaves through fans who’ve followed his personal and professional journey.
Two Loves, Two Lessons
Frank’s marital path reads like a somber romance novel with chapters of deep love and deeper reflection.
His first marriage to broadcaster Katherine Obiang ended in 2011 after seven years and three children.
In 2013, he found love again and married Sandra Onyenuchenuya, with whom he shares more children.
Now, in 2025, that chapter too has quietly closed.
But this wasn’t a case of messy drama or public fallouts—it was introspective. Thoughtful. Honest.
Soulmates & Short Circuits
Edoho didn’t blame infidelity or scandal. Instead, he offered something more universal and vulnerable: “The two women I had been married to are not my soul mates. Love of your life is different from your soul mate… I went above and beyond in both marriages.”
He believes love, while essential, isn’t always enough. Compatibility matters. Timing matters. And sometimes, effort still isn’t the bridge to forever.
The Kaká Analogy: When Being “Too Good” Isn’t Enough
To drive his point home, Frank brought up a surprising comparison: Brazilian football legend Kaká, whose wife famously left him, citing that he was simply “too good.”
“It goes to show, even being the best partner doesn’t guarantee permanence,” Frank said.
Because sometimes, love is present but the bond is offbeat.
Redefining Success in Relationships
Rather than dwell on the societal shame that often trails failed marriages—especially for public figures—Frank is rewriting the narrative: “Marriage isn’t a trophy. It’s not about winning. It’s about connecting, growing, and sometimes letting go when it no longer fits.”
This bold stance challenges long-held cultural norms around “till death do us part,” making space for self-awareness and emotional maturity.
Why This Matters
1. Vulnerability Over Vanity
Edoho’s openness sets a new tone for male vulnerability in Nigerian media, stripping away the façade of perfection.
2. Compatibility Over Commitment
He highlights the often-ignored reality that commitment doesn’t cure incompatibility.
3. A Cultural Reset
In a society that often stigmatizes divorce, Edoho’s story is a reminder that sometimes walking away is the healthier, braver choice.
Final Scene: A Millionaire With No Regrets
Frank Edoho may have lost two marriages, but he hasn’t lost perspective. In a media space full of curated happiness and filtered relationships, his truth is a refreshing—and necessary—reset.
Because sometimes, the real final answer is knowing when to let go.
