Jul 26 Frank Edoho vs Japheth Omojuwa: What Sparked the New Social Media Feud?

Social media is buzzing with a growing spat between renowned TV host Frank Edoho and political commentator Japheth Omojuwa, and it all seems to have escalated from what appeared to be a lighthearted comment gone wrong.

🔥 What Sparked the Drama?

It began on Friday, July 26, when Frank Edoho reacted to a scathing remark made by journalist David Hundeyin toward Omojuwa. Frank, known for his witty takes, commented in amazement at the brutality of the insult—without adding any direct attack of his own.

But things quickly spiraled.

Feeling targeted, Omojuwa clapped back the next morning via his X (formerly Twitter) handle. He alleged that Frank had long held a grudge against him because he didn’t support the idea of Frank replacing Ebuka Obi-Uchendu as Big Brother Naija host during a heated Twitter debate years ago.

💔 Personal Digs Take Over

In a surprising turn, Omojuwa brought up Edoho’s personal life, mocking the TV icon over his two failed marriages — a move that many online felt crossed the line.

Frank, however, responded with poise, stating that he has never desired Ebuka’s job and has never harbored resentment toward any colleague.

🧠 Opinion: When Does Banter Become Bullying?

It’s one thing to disagree or even trade barbs online, but dragging someone’s personal life into a public spat? That hits below the belt. Whether or not Frank meant any malice in his comment, Omojuwa’s response feels like an overreach—and has left many netizens questioning how far is too far in online beefs.

Both Edoho and Omojuwa are respected voices in their industries. It would serve the public better to see them engage in healthy, constructive debate rather than dig into each other’s personal wounds.
