First speaking about his sense of humor and if he's ever thought about pursuing a career in stand-up comedy, Frank Edoho said:

FRANK EDOHO: When I was a kid, I was the clown of the house and then watching a lot of sitcoms, I have to find a way of bringing it into my rapporteur in anything I do. I used to use it to have a lot of girls at that time in Calabar. It helped in building me up for my career. If you are a broadcaster, especially a presenter, you should know how to be humorous and witty.

I used to do comedy earlier on in my career. Tariah Basorge Jr. trained me, and I used to do stand up comedy at his shows. This was before Who Wants To Be A Millionaire came on. It is always good to have comedy in your toolkits as a broadcaster, you can use it to add humour and make your presentation more interesting.

Speaking about why he hates fame, Frank Edoho said:

FRANK EDOHO: If you don’t have the passion for something, and you go into it, you will fail woefully, because I never did it for fame. I hate the fame. I am a regular street boy; I grew up in Sabongari, Kano, moved to Calabar where I had my secondary and tertiary education. We played football with the fishermen; we all ate from the same plate, as we couldn’t afford to be served separately. So tell me why I will like fame.

Speaking about the unbelievable reason why he doesn't eat snail till today, Frank Edoho said:

I was brought up by a grandmother who made me believe that anyone who ate snail will end up becoming a thief and till date I don’t eat snail. My wife knows.
