He stated that he then left South Africa for Nigeria, where he met his wife, who was the production manager of a project he was also working on.
Etim-Effiong said, “I think two things came together to prepare me to marry my wife. At that time in my life, I was tired of dealing with several relationships. But I had a girlfriend at that time, and I told the girl that I think I am ready to get married, but she wasn’t ready. We were in South Africa at the time; she wasn’t a Nigerian woman.
“So, I told her that I wanted to get married, but she wasn’t ready. She said she had plans to go for graduate school in the United States, and she didn’t want to, for lack of a better word, be tied. And I was disappointed like, what is she talking about? We could do so many things together. At that time, I was ready for marriage. Anyone who was with me at that time had to answer the question, ‘Do you want to get married?’ Like I did ask my girlfriend that time, and she declined.
“And then, it coincided with coming back to Nigeria to be on a project that my wife was the production manager of. We had been talking before that time, but we met when we both came to Nigeria. It was her first job in Nigeria when she came back from New York. And then we met, and we started to talk. I had a long conversation with her. I told her that I really want to get married, and she said, ‘Let’s do it.'”
Etim-Effiong married Toyosi, in November 2017, a year after they met and they welcomed their first child, a baby girl, in January 2019.
with Chude Jideonwo,
Hmmmmmm. Ok.
ReplyDeleteLol, no be small hmmm
Deletehe's been revealing things lately
ReplyDeletecelebrity and interview na 5&6. media house's bombarding them like super glue
There’s sth off about this marriage. Why do you want the world n yr wife to know she was a second option? Even if it’s true not everything needs to be said. No wonder she treats him like the prize n has him on a pedestal because he has primed her to do so. The ex gf go dey one side dey feel special n also what message is he sending? That she can come anytime n he will leave his marriage or what . Leave past in the past
ReplyDeleteAs in, he is revealing too much now, but I know what he is trying to do. Toyosi no gree for anybody, you sef na total package
DeleteNo! She was never a second choice. He had a serious relationship with another and proposed marriage which she rejected. He left the country they were in and relocated to Nigeria about the time Toyosi also relocated. A new relationship started between both of them. So there's no reason for anyone to call her a second option.
DeleteAs far the interview, Chude's interviews are always a tell -it-all. He's not the first person to be interviewed like this please.
Biko , why is he specifically the news on this blog lately? Should we be expecting anything out of the ordinary?
ReplyDeleteIt’s called yellow can theory. Men don’t marry for love. They marry whoever is convenient n useful to u at the time. So mumu women wey dey carry marriage on top una head ntorr for una. Naija women can glorify marriage ehn. A man marrying u doesn't mean ur not a placeholder. He said in the interview he married her because she had the means to make his life stable n better aka she had money . Like most Nigerian men on other feminine men that are under accomplished n doing 50-50 with their wives cus they can’t succeed on their own. He basically sees her as stepping stone to success. If that his ex gf by mistake make appearance in his life again now that he’s made it that man is gone. Toyosi better pray she never does
ReplyDeleteI don't think this is a fair assessment of men. Women are also guilty of this too.
DeleteI can easily flip your words and argue that women marry who is convenient and useful to them at the time.
A woman who doesn't have the means to succeed will leave her loving and caring boyfriend to marry a richer man who she doesn't know anything about.
She basically sees him as her stepping stone to success.
This happens all the time..even now, as I type this comment.
So you see, not everything should be a gender war.
I agree with you Nocturnal
DeleteNocturnal get sense.
DeleteNorcturnal is one of the responsible men we have here
DeleteGuilty conscience 🥴🥴🥴
ReplyDeleteGod will do what he has to do at the appointed time.
He’s the prize in that marriage lol
ReplyDelete🤔 naa wa, somebody go just open mouth waaaaa, talk wentin go rub off somehow on there partner.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteToyosi was not his first choice but sye was available when he needed a wife. I see why she feels insecure.
Not just available but successful and probably had another passport. Don’t you see his ex was non-Nigerian?. What does that tell you?. Nigerian fine girls had nothing to offer him. Z
DeleteOmo na wa oh! This is information overload!! I am so tired of them already...Make una enjoy una sef privately....This shalaye is becoming exhausting....
ReplyDeletePlease reduce the info please.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you both
An intentional man .
ReplyDeleteDaniel, I like you but please don't break your wife heart oh.
ReplyDeleteVery intentional man.
ReplyDeleteTor. We don hear.
ReplyDeleteNot sure where all this is heading but it's uncomfortable to read.
ReplyDeleteHnmmm
ReplyDeleteHe's been frequently giving interviews of late. Etim, you're putting too much out there.
ReplyDeleteDaniel, what is going on? You've been talking too much lately.
ReplyDeleteOkay noted 👍
ReplyDeleteI nor dey like Chude questions at times. He and Ebuka would purposely ask you questions to make you reveal things you don't want to say. If you want to ever be on his show and sit on that couch, you must be emotionally intelligent. Otherwise OYO is your name
ReplyDeleteDaniel is it what i am thinking? Are you tired? Why are you talking too much these days, stop embarrassing Toyosi in the name of interview please
ReplyDeleteToo much info
ReplyDeleteGood one Etim.
ReplyDeleteWhich one is too much info?
Me I no see anything like too much info here o
I know he's talking too much but I think this interviews are excerpts from the same interview which Stella is bringing small small abi na me no get am?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, it's not every question asked you must respond to
A lot of marriages are transactional anyway so I wonder why people get upset when people say their truths.
ReplyDeleteHe married her for financial stability and convenience and she married him because she wanted him and he was available.
As long as they are both happy it’s nobody’s business.
Everyone mustn’t marry for love abeg.
This guy 🥺
ReplyDeleteYou see some Men with black lips like this Daniel , na side eyes you suppose use dey watch dem. 🤭
