Edoho shared the experience in a video posted on his Instagram page on Tuesday, where he reflected on the early stage of his long-running role as host of the programme.

He said he earned slightly above ₦100,000 monthly during the first two years of the show, despite appearing on television in a highly polished and affluent presentation.

“On Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, the first two years of my salary per month was a hundred and something thousand naira. But I had to wear a suit as if I owned all the money,” he said.

The television host explained that his earnings changed significantly after MTN came in as a major sponsor, leading to improved negotiations with the production team.

“When MTN came on, I just said, let me give a figure to my boss… once I mentioned the figure, they said okay, we’ll give you three months’ back pay,” he recalled.

Edoho noted that the improved contract marked a turning point in his career, opening doors to more presenting roles and public appearances across Nigeria.

“The rewards came in. I was hosting events all over the place. I was flying and doing all kinds of things,” he said.
