Once upon a time, scandal arrived cloaked in silence and shame. Today, it arrives sponsored by algorithms, fuelled by outrage, and consumed like entertainment. The incident involving Frank Edoho, Sandra, and Chike is not merely celebrity gossip, but a disturbing mirror reflecting a culture steadily losing its grip on restraint, dignity, accountability, and moral seriousness, writes Adedayo Adejobi
There was a time when scandal arrived in whispers. A neighbour lowered her voice behind a gate. An uncle cleared his throat awkwardly at a family gathering. Shame travelled quietly then. Today, scandal enters like a carnival procession with hashtags, cryptic Instagram stories, leaked audios, podcasts, reaction videos, and self-righteous spectators armed with ring lights and WiFi.
The messy public unravelling involving Frank Edoho, his estranged wife Sandra, and singer, Chike is the latest proof that modern society no longer merely witnesses private pain. It monetises it, memes it, and dances around it like villagers around a bonfire.
At the centre of the storm sits Frank Edoho, the smooth- talking television host once admired for his wit and polished intellect. Around him now swirl allegations of emotional abuse, infidelity, financial irresponsibility, narcissism, and marital cruelty, all publicly levelled by Sandra in lengthy social media statements.
