Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Edoho hosted the Nigerian edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? from its launch on 8 October 2004 until his departure in 2017. He announced that departure after negotiations with Ultima Studios failed, although later reporting presented additional context involving sponsor withdrawal and relaunch discussions.

Professional range

Published profiles also describe Edoho as a filmmaker and associate him with production, directing, cinematography and colour work. The available evidence does not, however, establish a reliable list of named screen credits. After his initial game-show departure, Edoho said he accepted an arrangement to host a Nigerian version of The Price Is Right, but the project did not proceed because of sponsorship difficulties.
