"I have said, and I repeat, that in four years, we'll generate, transmit, and distribute at least 10,000 megawatts of electricity. I'm not going to tell you how; it is not for you to know how." — Peter Obi
@markokoyeII You don't have to allow the ridicule that's about to start. You have to make Alaigbo proud. You served well under the former governor of Anambra state
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.

@channelstv Nigeria needs an overhaul, many Nigerians are sick and tired of the current state of the nation. Mallam Musa, you can't stop something that the time has come.
Fela Kuti’s Grammy Recognition Coming Decades After His Passing is Very Powerful – Iseli
This tells us that the true cultural impact is not measured by trophies in one's lifetime but by how the work shapes generations. The Grammy is not just for Fela the musician but for Fela the cultural force.
