Veteran Nigerian TV host Frank Edoho has become the talk of social media after his unexpected response to a request for marriage advice at the white wedding of popular content creator Peller and his wife Jarvis, held in Lagos on Saturday, August 8. The event, which drew numerous high-profile guests, took a memorable turn when Edoho was asked to share words of wisdom with the newlyweds.
Edoho's Candid Response
Instead of offering conventional marital counsel, Edoho politely declined, citing his own turbulent history with marriage. He stated, "You're asking me, who knows nothing about marriage, to advise the couple? I am going to give my wishes instead. I wish Peller the happiest of life, the best of blessings and the utmost of peace." The moment was captured on video and quickly went viral, drawing attention to Edoho's personal life.
Edoho, best known as the host of the Nigerian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, has been married twice. His most recent marriage to Sandra ended in a highly publicized and bitter split, following allegations of infidelity involving singer Chike. This history made his self-deprecating remark resonate deeply with many observers.
Social Media Reactions
The response triggered a wave of reactions on social media platforms, with many users applauding Edoho's self-awareness. One user, @face_xoff, commented, "E good as you no give advice king of malice, that just shows how self aware you are. You cannot give what you don’t have." Another user, @omotoyosiwrites, offered a different perspective, noting, "Well I still think Oga frank has one of two lessons to teach the coming ones eventhough it appears he has failed in the aspect of marriage. But as a man, the scope has to teach the younger one not to make the same mistakes you made."
Celebrity Attendance and Well-Wishes
The wedding itself was a star-studded affair, with guests including Fuji legend Saheed Osupa, P-Square's Peter Okoye, comedian Charles Okocha, reality star Tacha, and influencer Papaya Ex. Notably, music superstar Davido also sent a heartfelt message to the couple, joining the wave of goodwill following their white wedding celebrations.
Edoho's viral moment has sparked broader conversations about the nature of marriage advice and the importance of personal experience. His candid admission, while surprising to some, has been widely praised for its honesty and humility.
