What Daniel Etim’s wife, Toyosi, Said Regarding Cheating is not a deal-breaker
Seun Emmanuel Toyosi Etim Effiong, wife of Nollywood actor Daniel Etim Effiong, has shared her views on marriage and infidelity, stating that she does not consider cheating a dealbreaker. Speaking in a recent episode of the Toke Makinwa podcast, Mrs Effiong insisted that infidelity is not sufficient grounds to end a marriage. She emphasised that, rather than leaving her marriage due to cheating, prayer and spiritual support matter more to her. She also revealed that she has set up a prayer group for wives of entertainers to pray for their husbands not to fall for the antics of seductresses in the industry. “Cheating is not a dealbreaker for me. I even created a prayer group, Wives of Entertainers Prayer Group, to pray for our husbands so that Jezebels will not carry them,” Mrs Effiong stated. She added that love, patience and good communication are key to a lasting marriage, stressing that both partners must make deliberate efforts to understand each other.
