A throwback video of media personality Frank Edoho discussing how he punishes his wife has resurfaced online, coinciding with rumors about the end of his second marriage. In the clip, Edoho boasts about being the "King of malice" and using the silent treatment as a form of discipline.
The Resurfaced Interview
During an interview with Teju Babyface, Edoho addressed allegations of physical abuse, stating that he prefers psychological punishment. "The best punishment I can give a woman is malice," he said. "I can stay in the same house with you, I'll not talk to you... if you cross the line. My wife knows now. I am the King of malice. I will not talk to you."
He elaborated that during such periods, he focuses on playing with his children and goes out, returning late. "That is the beating that suffices physical one," he added.
Context of Divorce Rumors
Unsubstantiated rumors have linked Edoho's estranged wife to a younger celebrity. Edoho recently tweeted a warning against forgiving a cheating wife, and on Instagram, he thanked those expressing concern over his "ongoing divorce proceedings." However, he has not addressed the infidelity allegations directly.
Public Reactions
The resurfaced video has sparked mixed reactions. Writer Ikhide Ikheloa criticized the silent treatment, saying, "Young men, please don't give your spouse the silent treatment... Keep it up and somebody else will collect your spouse from you." He added, "What is this? Y'all are not okay in that Nigeria!"
Others have expressed concern over Edoho's approach to conflict resolution in marriage, with many calling it emotionally abusive.
