Nollywood actor Daniel Etim Effiong has triggered heated reactions online after sharing his opinion on how women should handle cheating in marriage.
Speaking during a recent discussion, the actor stated that when a husband cheats, a wife’s first reaction should not be self-centered anger, but rather an attempt to help him overcome the issue.
According to him:
“If your husband cheats, the first thing is to find how to help him come out of the problem. Don’t be self-seeking about it.”
His statement quickly went viral on social media, with many Nigerians sharply divided over his perspective on infidelity and marriage.
