Well-known Nollywood actor Daniel Etim-Effiong has shared that he married his wife, Toyosi, after his previous partner turned down his proposal.

Speaking in a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, Etim-Effiong said he was ready for marriage at the time, but his former girlfriend wasn’t on the same page.

Following the breakup, he returned to Nigeria from South Africa and eventually crossed paths with Toyosi, who happened to be the production manager on a project they were both involved in.

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.’”

Recalling that Etim-Effiong got married to his wife, Toyosi, in November 2017, a year after they met. The couple welcomed their first child, a baby girl, in January 2019.
