Daniel Etim-Effiong
Nollywood actor Daniel Etim-Effiong has revealed that he used to be a womanizer at one point in his life, though he described the phase as brief and a period of learning.
In a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, the actor—who started out as an engineer—shared that he once dated multiple women at the same time, but eventually realized that lifestyle didn’t bring the fulfilment he expected.
“Maybe there was a period in my life that I was,” he admitted. “I wouldn’t say for long, but they were periods of learning.”
Etim-Effiong explained that, while it may seem fun to be a “player,” the habit can negatively affect one’s ability to commit in the future.
“If you develop that lifestyle, it won’t automatically change overnight,” he said. “When you get married, that muscle hasn’t been developed. So when you face challenges, you may feel like walking away instead of working through it.”
He now uses his experience to advise young people to avoid womanizing, emphasizing the importance of building healthy relationship habits early.
