Summary: Nollywood actor Daniel Etim Effiong says he loves his wife more than his children during podcast interview, sparking debate among Nigerians about marriage and parenting priorities.
Nollywood heartthrob Daniel Etim Effiong has gotten tongues wagging on social media after making a bold declaration about his family priorities during a recent podcast appearance.
The talented actor, known for his romantic roles in Nollywood films, appeared on the popular podcast Mansplation where he was asked a rather interesting question: Is the love he has for his wife the highest form of love he has ever experienced?
His response? Absolutely yes.
“I love my wife more than I love my children,” Daniel stated without hesitation.
A Controversial Statement or Honest Truth?
For many Nigerians, this kind of statement might sound shocking. In our culture, children are often considered the centre of the family, and parents—especially mothers—are expected to put their children before everything and everyone else.
But Daniel’s perspective offers a different angle, one that many relationship experts actually support: that a strong marriage forms the foundation of a strong family.
While some may find his honesty refreshing, others have already begun debating whether it’s right or wrong to publicly rank love for spouse above love for children.
What Do You Think?
Is Daniel Etim Effiong’s confession a sign of a healthy marriage, or does it cross a line? Should parents love their spouse and children equally, or is it natural—and even beneficial—to prioritize the marital relationship?
One thing is certain: the actor has definitely sparked a conversation that many Nigerian couples will be having around their dinner tables tonight.
