'Frank Edoho and I Shouldn't Have Married' -Edoho's Ex

'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' host Frank Edoho
is still legally married to estranged wife,
Katherine, who told NET last week that the pair
should never have become husband and wife.
Katherine Obiang, who has three kids for the TV
host spoke to our correspondent in a compelling
interview how the 7-year old marriage should
never have been and how the couple should have
rather stayed friends. Excerpts:
Let us into your background.
I'm Cameroonian. My dad is from Cameroun, my mom
is from the Efik tribe in Nigeria, but somehow, we have
been living there and here. My mom was a Head of
Department in a tertiary institution, it was natural that
we lived in Nigeria. I have no sister but brothers as
siblings and even my aunt had only boys as kids, so I
grew up among boys. I had different influences. We
travelled a lot and to an extent, the experience helped
shape who I am and how I see things. It was generally
an OK childhood.
How did you start your journey in Nigerian
media?
It was during my one-year internship. I was working
with the account section of a radio station and one day,
the programme manager called me and asked me to
read something for him, after which he asked if I had
thought of doing something on radio. I gasped but
because I am always up for a challenge, I said yes
when he asked if I was interested. I used to script
everything I said so I can sound interesting and
gradually, I grew into it.
And how are your kids taking the whole divorce
issue?
We are not really divorced. It's still a work-in-progress
kind of thing but we are taking it well. When its time for
him to see the children, he does and when its time to
return them, he does. On my part, I have carried the
children along and make them understand they are not
stained because of it. I wouldn't want them to develop
a complex because of it. We didn't design for these
things to happen but they do. Its like people who have
lost their parents, they didn't plan for it but they have to
move on. I watch them and I think they are doing pretty
okay especially because we talk about it every time
there is a reason to.
You mentioned that you aren't really divorced.
Does that suggest possibility of reconciliation?
No, it doesn't. We just started the process but there
isn't any hope for reconciliation. We know we would
always be in each other's lives because of the children,
so we have to be civil. When the children are getting
married for example, we have to hide our differences
and make it work.
