Toyosi Etim Effiong, wife of Nollywood actor Daniel Etim Effiong, has cautioned against unsolicited marriage advice, stressing that every relationship has unique dynamics outsiders do not fully understand.
Speaking on a recent episode of the Toke Moments podcast monitored by MyNewsGh, she said, “Don’t give marriage advice unsolicited because I understand the peculiarities of my marriage.”
Toyosi argued that many women remain in unhealthy relationships due to a lack of self-identity. “A lot of women just stay in relationships because they don’t even have a sense of who they are. There’s no self-identity,” she stated.
When asked whether infidelity is a deal-breaker, Toyosi declined to impose a universal rule, saying honesty matters more than public expectations. “It’s okay to be honest if it’s not,” she said.
She also addressed public perceptions about long-term marriages, noting that appearances can be misleading.
“From the outside, you think it’s all hunky-dory,” she said, adding, “Will she come and tell you what she has dealt with?”
