Reminiscing Mondays: Personalities on Nigeria's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire"

It's been a while since I watched this show and a LOOOOT has changed since 2006 or so when I last watched it.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, WWTBAM, Nigeria

Frank Edoho
For one, Frank Edoho comes off as a little bit arrogant to me, and not as likeable as before. He's still quite funny, but more cocky than funny. But I really do enjoy the fact that Frank thinks he's a comedian and cracks jokes at a contestant's expense.

But, what's up with him making suggestive remarks to the dude for bringing a female family friend to the show. First off, the guy is married so he needs to shut the hell up. We already know how Frank's marriage ended. Is that a low blow?

Also, I felt offended by the fact that he would tell a contestant something like "come on be a man, choose one" (17:46min).

The Audience
The audience is quite intelligent though. I didn't think they would get the question about the end of monarchical rule in Egypt right (18:50min). I had no clue either, but thank you Google! There's always such an interesting mix of people sitting in the background which is quite interesting because I wasn't expecting too much from them, but I clearly judged too soon.

The Contestant (Sulayman Ojitayo)
Quite intelligent and well spoken, but I wish he walked away with $2 million. It's funny how he said "life is about taking risks", yet after using all 3 lifelines on a question, he still wasn't brave enough to go with the 3 lifelines and his gut feeling. He then sheepishly blamed Frank for making him chicken out, which was totally unfair.

If I were to contest on the show and I had no lifelines to use on a question, I'm not the type of risk taker who would go with a guess. However, I would definitely have enough faith in 3 lifelines and my gut to make a decision. Oh well..that's just me.
