In the video, she talked about how their first two years were hard because he was getting a lot of attention from women.
She also acknowledged that it might not stop but asked him, “Do you have measures in place to safeguard yourself from the wildness and craziness of female admirers?”
Etim Effiong’s response
Responding to his wife’s questions, the actor affirmed that he has female admirers but has always found a way to deal with the situation.
He also noted how his measures have worked over the years, but he learns better ways to salvage the craziness of female admirers daily.
“The simple answer to the question is yes, I have measures in place. I have always had measures in place, but I guess my toolbox is getting equipped with better and better measures as I grow.
“I've learnt to have boundaries in place. I've learnt to deal with my saviour complex. I can't save everybody. I cannot be their Lord and Saviour.
“I cannot be their emotional support. I cannot be the Love of their lives. I can't be everything to everybody. As I grow and as I evolve, I'm getting better at handling these things.
“Have I always been this skilled? Probably not. I'm not claiming that I am there yet. I am just saying that I am learning and growing as I evolve,” Etim Effiong said.
