Nollywood actor Etim Effiong has shared his approach to managing the attention of his many female admirers with his wife, Toyosi, during their 7th wedding anniversary celebration. The couple revisited a conversation from seven years ago, reflecting on the growth and challenges in their relationship.
Toyosi asked her husband a direct yet familiar question
“Do you have measures in place to safeguard yourself from the wildness and craziness?”
Etim thoughtfully responded, explaining how he has evolved in handling such situations over time.
“The simple answer to the question is I have measures in place, and I have always had measures in place. I guess the toolbox is getting better measures as I grow,” he said.
The actor emphasized the importance of setting boundaries and being self-aware, particularly in managing his “savior complex.” He elaborated,
“I’ve learned to have boundaries in place and how to deal with my saviour complex. I cannot be there to save everyone who needs help; I cannot be their emotional support, the love of their lives, and their saviour. As I grow older, I have been able to handle this.”
Toyosi could be seen smiling with appreciation for her husband’s candid words, as he reassured her of his growth and commitment.
