Frank Edoho

Frank Edoho was born on 8 July 1972 in Kano State. He trained in radio first, at Radio Nigeria's Metro FM, which sent him on a training course in 2000, and he became one of the country's best-known faces as the host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, the Nigerian edition of the international quiz show. He presented it from its first broadcast on 8 October 2004 until 2 September 2017, on NTA, sponsored by MTN Nigeria and produced by Ultima Studios, and left after talks on a new contract failed; he then co-hosted The Price Is Right with Emmanuel "Mannie" Essien. He returned to host the show when it was revived in February 2022 as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? The Rebirth, on TVC and other networks.

Most people who look him up are looking for the presenter. But Edoho is also a photographer, as well as a filmmaker, producer and voice-over artist, and photography is part of his creative work alongside television. That is why he appears among Nigeria's photographers in the data this site draws on; we have not found a published portfolio or an exhibition of his photographs, so this page cannot point you to the work.

For the country's photographers more broadly — from J. D. 'Okhai Ojeikere to today's documentary and fashion photographers — see our list of Nigerian photographers and Nigerian artists.
