I’ve Learned To Set Boundaries When It Comes To My Female Admirers – Daniel Etim Effiong

Nollywood actor, Daniel Etim Effiong has come out to explain how he handles his female admirers.

He recently had his say during a recorded interview session with his wife, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he definitely has measures in place to handle any woman that tries to threaten his marriage, and he has learned to set boundaries over the years.

Daniel Etim added that his toolbox keeps getting equipped with better measures as he grows older.

His wife said, “Let’s talk about the girls. Let’s talk about the women. Year one and year two were a bit rough. There was a lot of attention. You were getting a lot of attention from women. And I was almost losing my mind then.

Remember when—I don’t even want to remember—but just that whole, trying to go through your phone, find out who this person is and then asking questions. And you’d change your password but then I’d find out the new password because it’s my work—you know I studied journalism, right? So, I know how to investigate.

And there were some wild messages, especially from the women. My question is: it’s probably not going to stop because there will always be women who are attracted to married men and who would want to talk to them and all of that, but do you have measures in place to safeguard yourself from the wildness and the craziness?”

Daniel responded, “So, the simple answer to the question is: yes, I have measures in place. I’ve always had measures in place. But I guess my toolbox is getting equipped with better measures as I grow. I’ve learned to have boundaries in place.”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
