Popular television host Frank Edoho has responded to claims of infidelity and financial irresponsibility made against him by his estranged wife, Sandra Onyenucheya, during the nasty online repercussions from their broken marriage.
Speaking on the uproar following Sandra’s public accusations of adultery, emotional abuse, and neglecting his obligations as a parent, Edoho said that her purported relationship with singer Chike was one of the final straws that led to the marriage’s dissolution.
He claimed that after uncovering proof of an affair between Sandra and the singer, he originally tried to save the relationship for the sake of their children.
“From December 2022 till January last year (2025), that news that came out is very true. I approached that stupid guy because it is my second marriage. I asked him if he knew who I was, and he was shaking like a leaf. I asked him what he was doing with my wife. He had a serious girlfriend he was engaged to, Precious.
“I told him that if my wife was stupid enough to cheat on her husband, why would he encourage it? He said, ‘Is that what she told you?’ and I told him I have the recordings of him talking to my wife. I told him I have two boys with this woman and I want to raise them. Leave this woman alone, and maybe she will come to her senses. I will overlook it and take one for my sons, but they continued,” he said.
Edoho also alleged that Sandra actively encouraged the relationship with the singer despite his efforts to preserve the marriage.
“In the audio, she was the one encouraging the guy. I don’t know what I did to deserve that. I sent her to school in 2010 and 2011, and I said she should do business. We settled on interior design, and I found her first carpenter for her. I raised everything and studied interior design photography because of her for four years.
“I was doing all that for my wife until I raised her to the point that trouble started. She felt she was big and started an affair with this guy,” he added.
The veteran TV host also revealed that there was a period he walked away from the marriage for about three months before Sandra persuaded him to return.
Shedding more light on the divorce proceedings, Edoho claimed Sandra initiated legal action after discovering that he had moved on emotionally.
“There was a point when she saw that I had moved on and she saw me with a beautiful girl, and she took me to court. She wants a divorce. It was just like anger.
“She was asking me to pay her N4m every month for the children’s upkeep, and I said that it’s not happening. When I brought my evidence to court, the judge just said, “Please, you know there are children involved,” he said.
He further indicated that he will provide evidence to back up his accusations. He revealed how he used technology to discreetly record her calls with Chike after she agreed not to return.
Sandra stated in some of the audios that surfaced online that Edoho was not to blame for their divorce.
Meanwhile, in an earlier call with Saturday Beats, Edoho had avoided further public participation over the controversies surrounding the breakup of his second marriage.
He had said, “I am not going to grant any interview because what is the gain for me in talking to PUNCH about my life,” he said.
The media personality also reacted briefly to claims made by his estranged wife regarding allegations of infidelity and financial responsibility during their marriage. Laughing off the claims, he said, “Indeed. And I left her two years ago, and she is still sponsoring. Don’t worry; let people have that perspective.”
A social media user on X identified as Danny of Owerri stirred further conversations when he pointed out that singer Chike had an affair with Edoho’s estranged wife.
“But why would Chike sleep with Frank Edoho’s wife? Why? I used to see Chike as a responsible guy,” the user wrote.
Speking in reaction to the outpouring of sympathy from fans, Edoho revealed that he and Sandra had already been separated for almost two years before the current online uproar.
Meanwhile, social media users began to analyze Sandra and Chike’s online behavior after they shared the same love-themed song on Friday. The song, “You’re The Closest To Heaven,” by an Australian musician, generated curiosity among fans who viewed the posts as subliminal messaging in the midst of turmoil.
Attention also went to Chike’s earlier appearance on NAY’s The Unpack podcast, in which the musician discussed his preference for older women in relationships.
As the conversation heated up online, Sandra moved to Instagram on Thursday, May 15, 2026, to offer her side of the tale in a lengthy post titled “Surviving A Bitch-Ass Nigga, Frank Edoho.”
In the article, she accused Edoho of infidelity, emotional abuse, neglect, and financial irresponsibility throughout their marriage.
“Choosing to remain silent may give mixed signals to the narrative that a sadist and narcissist peddles, making everyone believe he is a victim.
“Choosing to marry a man, raising our beautiful kids, single-handedly building and growing a successful design business, and giving myself wholly, undiluted, and faithful through and through!
“Until you decided that while I was pregnant with our first child, you would rather have a prolonged affair that lasted years with an actress, Mbong Amata, amongst other women.
“Where do I even begin? The nights I’m crying on the floor begging that you see me, with you walking out and not returning for days!”
She also alleged that Edoho discouraged her from keeping their second child and accused him of abandoning his responsibilities as a father.
“Or the days you tormented me to abort our second child because you were in numerous relationships and not ready to be a father?!
“Throughout the emotional, physiological, mental, and physical torture and abuse, I stayed committed and faithful, shielding you, carrying you like an egg. But you are a shell. Washed up and dried out. You live for validation from the Internet. So enjoy your 10 seconds of a pity party.
“A deadbeat! That is exactly what you are. I singlehandedly sponsored your lavish lifestyle.
“I singlehandedly paid all your bills, the trips, business class tickets, 5-star hotels, luxury trips, and all the home bills, including that of the other children from your previously failed marriage. I took your mom abroad to the United States, and she lived in my parents’ home for years! I tried to cover you.
“I truly appreciate the empathy. While I understand that the public is only just becoming aware of this chapter, I have lived through it privately for quite some time now (almost 2 years) and have since made peace with it emotionally,” he stated.
“Have you ever paid school fees? Have you ever? All you did was abuse the financial access you had to my funds. Squandering my money on prostitutes and loose women.”
Sandra also mentioned and tagged several women she alleged Edoho was romantically involved with during their marriage.
“So many numerous transactions in Lekki hotels, Airbnbs, lounges, and bars. Sold my property without my permission for chicken change and still squandered the earnings from it within one week! On different girls. Documented evidence, dey! Chai!
“Disappearing for weeks on end! With loose women and whores like Adaeze Ugboaja at The Hard Rock Cafe, or is it Tega Dominic (@its_tegadominic), the BBNaija girl, or is it Amaka Okeke (@diaryofalionqueen), whom you claimed you were trying to get endorsement and sponsorship for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, who you brought into our home to sleep with on our matrimonial bed?
“Or is it the smelling prostitutes whom you led into our home? Where I had to video record you escorting her to the gate! Or is it the whore you had on your Snapchat frolicking in her bikini, snapping with your own phone while you were there blowing kisses to her?”
Sandra explained why she eventually left the marriage, saying she was faithful throughout the relationship but opted to prioritize herself and her well-being.
“Where do I start? Where do I begin?
“I was a great wife, a faithful wife to the core.
“But a time comes when a woman must choose herself. I chose myself and walked away, and filed for divorce too. As an adult woman, I am free to be friends with and date whomever I please. Please move on with your life.
“To family and friends who have walked this journey with me and know the truth, thank you for your prayers and support,” she added.
Sandra Onyenucheya is a Nigerian entrepreneur and interior designer best known for her luxury interior brands, Vivabella Designs and VivabellaHome.
Her social media profiles are frequently updated with projects, luxury home inspirations, and excursions to other locations in search of quality interior elements and designs.
Edoho, on the other hand, remains one of Nigeria’s most well-known television personalities. He rose to prominence as the host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in Nigeria, and he has spent decades working in television, event presenting, and media development.
This is not Edoho’s first unsuccessful marriage. Before marrying Sandra, he was married to broadcaster Katherine Obiang.
The marriage produced children before the couple split some years ago. Their breakup drew national notice at the time, but both parties ultimately moved on with their lives discreetly.
