Nigerian television host Frank Edoho surprised guests at a wedding by refusing to offer marriage advice, humorously stating his own lack of expertise.

Edoho, a well-known media personality, was approached during the ceremony for newlyweds Peller and his wife. Instead of dispensing marital wisdom, he chose to extend his best wishes, saying, โ€œYouโ€™re asking me, who knows nothing about marriage, to advise the couple? I am going to give my wishes instead.โ€ He added, โ€œI wish Peller the happiest of life, the best of blessings and the utmost of peace.โ€

Youโ€™re asking me, who knows nothing about marriage, to advise the couple? I am going to give my wishes instead.

The host's candid response has sparked discussion online, particularly given his own marital history. Edoho has been married twice, with his most recent marriage to Sandra ending in a widely publicized separation amid infidelity allegations. He had previously accused her of infidelity with singer Chike.

Despite his personal experiences, Edoho's decision to step back from offering advice highlighted a moment of self-awareness and humility at the celebratory event.

I wish Peller the happiest of life, the best of blessings and the utmost of peace.
