A heated online clash has broken out between author Japheth Omojuwa and media personality Frank Edoho.

 

The dispute began after Edoho reacted to a post by journalist David Hundeyin, who had been mocking Omojuwa on X.

 

Omojuwa retaliated by taunting Edoho over his recent failed marriage and using derogatory language.

 

He also accused Edoho of harbouring resentment toward him for supporting Ebuka Obi Uchendu as the host of Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) instead of Edoho

 

In a lengthy post, Omojuwa said he had ignored Edoho’s previous provocations but decided to respond this time.

 

”Been ignoring this old fool @frankedoho for quite a while. Never engaged his agbaya attempts at using me for X engagements. Ever since I defended the need to keep Ebuka on Big Brother, when they advanced an inorganic agenda against him and were canvassing for this has-been, he’s been throwing shots at me like I caused the life misfortunes that turned him to a Twitter banger boy in his 6th decade of life,” he wrote.

 

“I almost used to look up to you in my early teens, now, like most people, I cannot not look down on you. Because you are more suited to playing in the mud these days than those glitzy days of WWTBAM. Lost cause. I won’t call you a cockroach. I am cultured. I am not here to do “you dry craze, you dey gbongbolociga” with you, I am here to set your life straight.

 

 

“Adagba ma da nu @frankedoho , you assume your faux grandiloquence makes you a good writer? Any fool can pick up a dictionary to select big words. To repeatedly deploy that online brings your low self-esteem issues to the fore. Stop dancing, your bum is out and we have no use for such seamy sights here.”

 

Omojuwa also mocked the intelligence and career of the former ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ (WWTBAM) host.

 

“The problem with hosting a show where you have to tell people they are wrong or right based on answers supplied by other people is that you assume that you are the intelligent one. You know yourself Frank, you are the first to know that you lack depth and substance and your self-esteem issues will never not come to the fore,” he added.

 

“Your life is frozen in time @frankedoho , that’s why everyone who meets you wants to talk about what you did 2 decades ago. It must hurt that every news about you references what you once were and not who you are. Your life has drifted away and you somehow think being a supposedly savage Chelsea fan on X is enough high to take you back to those heights? You must be more deluded than the schizophrenic sicko in Ghana.

 

“Silly boy! Just because you are the king of Obidient fools on X, you are excited. You don’t see how being the king of fools makes you a royal fool!”



Edoho fired back, denying ever wanting to replace Ebuka as BBNaija host and accusing Omojuwa of lying and projecting his insecurities.

 

He also dismissed Omojuwa’s insults and challenged his intelligence.

 

“I attribute your vast stupidity to your brain dysmorphia. I always support my colleagues in the industry & I have never ever coveted Ebuka’s job as BBN Host and I probably can’t do it as well as he does. I am gently bemused that you still make a living peddling lies, Cockcroach!,” he wrote.

  


“Shut your lying halitosis-infected mouth. You are civil yet you called me a fool. David was tweeting at you and I was referring to his savage posts but you took it personal. I have never conversed with you directly. You lied I showed receipts, now you are lying again. Vermin.

 

“You are that fool that picked up a dictionary and selected big words. The problem is on a podium, that dictionary can’t help you. Come and try me on any live stage and see if I won’t strip you for body parts. The only thing you will beat me with is your pathological lying skills.

 

“You aren’t intelligent. You are a charlatan, at best. A shallow neanderthal trapped in a stockfish body telling me that I lack depth. Your buffoonery must be entrenched in your genes.

 

“I am a bonafide broadcaster trained by behemoths in the industry. If you had active neurons in that pea-sized organ you call brain, you would know that Broadcasting is a multi-income revenue endeavor. What I did 2 decades ago is still bigger than anything you have imagined. Fool.”
