Dear Frank Edoho, this is a financial and life advisory from someone who has been watching.
First, the school fees, the properties, the years of provision, the emotional labour, all of that is gone and it is not coming back, mourn it for exactly 30 days, after that it becomes a tuition fee for the most expensive masterclass in human character assessment you will ever attend, file it under education and move forward.
Second, you are 57 years old, still handsome, still distinguished, still employed, still relevant, still the man who made “is that your final answer” a cultural moment in Nigerian television history. The woman who left that did not leave because you were not enough, she left because some people confuse a blessing for an entitlement, that is her problem now, not yours.
Third, your next investment will not be in a woman who needs building, you have already built two complete human beings from scratch with your resources, your time, and your emotional capacity. Going forward you are only investing in something that already has equity, no fixer upper projects or rehabilitation contracts, you are not NNPC and you cannot afford another turnaround maintenance scam.
Fourth, separate your finances permanently and structurally, whatever you own going forward carries your name only until a relationship has proven itself over years not months, love is beautiful but a joint account requires the same due diligence as a business partnership….which it literally is.
Fifth, the woman making noise publicly right now naming people and building a victim narrative is doing you a favour you have not recognised yet. She is showing everyone watching exactly who she is without you having to say a single word, your silence is not weakness Frank, your silence is evidence, let it speak.
Sixth, stop falling in love with potential, you are a television professional, you understand production, you know the difference between a pilot episode and a complete series, stop funding pilots that never make it to season two.
Now the most important advice of all.
Come back to television, but not with a quiz show this time, Nigeria has moved past multiple choice questions, we are living in an era of N800 billion missing from FAAC, senators buying tax clearance like recharge cards, a Budget Office that has gone silent on the biggest budget in history, and a government that travels the world giving speeches about transparency while accountability stays at home.
Come back with a current affairs programme, sharp, structured, uncomfortable, the kind of show where powerful people sweat under studio lights and ordinary Nigerians get the questions actually answered, hosted by a man who has already survived two public storms with his dignity completely intact, which means nobody can threaten him, blackmail him, or buy him with a land allocation.
Nigeria needs a broadcaster who has nothing left to lose and everything to say, and after what you have been through Frank, that man is you.
The show writes itself, the audience is already waiting, and this time when you ask the question, we will not be thinking about the money.
We will be thinking about the answer.
Is that your final answer Frank?
Make it count this time.
Typical Nigerian response to any criticism, stack piles of cash on the table like that proves anything, then sit in a Lagos apartment claiming you're the only shoemaker in the whole of Nigeria (250 million people) that has access to "special" leather.
Bros, sometimes I wonder if una think Nigeria na only Lagos or wherever una dey base.
As a "luxury shoemaker", you should know better. Nigerian leather (especially from the North) has been one of the most sought after in the world for decades. Top brands like Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Ferragamo, and even Hermès have been using Nigerian hides for years mostly exported raw or semi finished to Italy and Spain, finished there, and sold back to us as "Italian leather." Exclusive leathers didn't start with you, and they won't end with you. Just because you're the loudest online doesn't make you the only one.
Even the biggest global brands don't claim one tannery produces leather exclusively for them. Hermès sources from places like Tanneries Haas, Louis Vuitton works with Ilcea and others, it's public knowledge, they source from multiple suppliers. Nobody gets a monopoly like that.
Luxury isn't just hype and black gloves. It's the full package, story, sourcing, craftsmanship, heritage, and real exclusivity. But hey, you're Nigerian and luckily we get plenty rich people with serious ego and self esteem issues who will buy anything that gives them quick social media flex. So you'll probably stay in business for a long time.
No hate though, make your money. Just don't insult our intelligence while doing it.
Toxic women measure it by how much disorder they can introduce into your life before you draw a boundary. The issue is the use of inconvenience as a test of submission and once a woman needs to disturb your peace in order to feel adored, love starts getting replaced by appetite and power.
Many human rights organizations, activists & concerned Nigerians ran countless campaigns for the reopening of investigation into Dadiyata’s disappearance, the DSS turned deaf ears. Dadiyata’s family appeared on many TV channels to appeal to the government, but nothing was done. Now that Elrufai is giving them back to back sleepless nights ahead of 2027 elections, the government is suddenly willing to reopen the case. Once again, politics is the priority not the people.
This is why I sometimes admire the so-called rascality of Gen Z.
Imagine your bonus is withheld for no valid reason. Upon investigation, you discover the funds were actually released, but someone deliberately sat on them and refused to disburse them or they were never released in the first place. Yet somehow, the problem is no longer the person withholding the money, but the players complaining about unpaid bonuses. This warped logic is exactly why many talented African athletes renounce their national teams and choose to represent countries that treat them with dignity and professionalism.
This issue goes far beyond unpaid bonuses. It reflects a long-standing pattern of systemic disrespect and poor treatment of athletes. We have heard the stories. We have seen the evidence. We cannot continue to excuse injustice behind closed doors in the name of “protecting face.” What face, exactly?
What is even more disturbing is Anazodo referencing experiences from as far back as 1996, despite the fact that nothing has changed since then, and directing his anger not at the system but at the players. This is deeply concerning. It shows how people enter positions of authority carrying unresolved trauma and then weaponize it against the next generation. Because one team endured harsh conditions in 1996 and still won gold, he sees no issue with another team being subjected to the same treatment simply because “someone else survived it before.”
This mindset is dangerous. It is how bad systems sustain themselves. It is how suffering is normalized and institutional failure is recycled.
You’re telling them to protest at home to what end? We know it will be more difficult task protesting at home because they don’t have the cards to maintain advantage. If they eventually lose? Nobody cares because you didn’t win and so the bonus never hits their account. If they eventually win, you have brought what you could have used to have an advantage going into the protest and if the bonus is held, nobody will still care.
The same logic explains why health professionals are treated poorly. The government remains indifferent, and when doctors or nurses protest, the narrative quickly shifts: the blame is no longer on those responsible for the injustice, but on those reacting to it.
God forbid this level of thinking. The bigger person in the picture should always move towards avoiding embarrassment and it’s never the players or athletes.

Greater confidence in the Naira makes for a nice headline.
A stable exchange rate and improved FX liquidity are commendable. However, most Nigerians don’t measure confidence by those metrics they measure it by how far their money goes in daily life.
You are empowered so that you can take care of those under your care and custody but if you choose to abandon them because you feel you have outgrown them or because you want to belong to a higher cadre of dependence, the heavens will bear witness and judge in due time.
@Abmankendrick In my opinion apart from the illustration being a little too much... There's a major problem with the visual hierarchy here. From the colours to the font size.
