I met Daniel at Still Falling theatrical release in Abuja with Sharon Ooja. He was so nice and you could tell he is a kind soul. Watching this just made me have extra respect for this actor. He will go to a lot of places! I especially love how passionate he is about being a man of faith and how he respects his marriage. These are the kind of stories we singles need to hear to encourage us because the bad stories are madeaux!! 😃 You could tell that the hosts were hit with goosebumps when he told stories about his marriage 😅 We need more young men like these tbh.
The first men only podcast that I am not rolling my eyes… I love the maturity and wisdom Daniel carries!! Teach men to be Men and not babies or boys, PLEASE!!
I'm a Black American born and raised. I do not have parents from a Black immigrant background. I was raised on Hollywood. I have completely dumped Hollywood at this point and I mostly watch Nollywood films, series, and shows. Also, a growing number of ethnically born and raised Black Americans are watching Nollywood. In short, you are too hard on yourselves in this interview. You have a lot of great acting talent in Nollywood. I think it is more than what you think. A lot of your actors are top notch actors that can hold their own with actors in the US, UK, etc...You are getting more caught up with "is it a big production" or "on the big screen" like a Hollywood film vs. "is it good story telling". Films like "Woman King" broke even and didn't even hit 100 million worldwide. Nowhere on the level of some of the mainstream US productions . Hollywood has turned into a political and social liberal agenda pushing narratives propaganda machine vs. good story telling. Hollywood is not how it used to be and many Americans are preferring original movies from streaming services. Also, Black Hollywood is basically non existent. It's like we took several steps back. The new thing is placing a single Black person in an IR cast . Black stories with Black casts are hardly being told anymore. This is where Nollywood shines.
53:45 I love this episode, I just stumbled on this podcast and I’m already a fan. Daniel hit the nail concerning leadership and I can’t say I’m surprised he is very intentional about his work, family and life in general. I can tell by the way he moves on social media and his work. I’m a big fan of nollywood and respect their work. The movie we consume in 2 hours takes them weeks even months to finish. It’s so easy to criticize from the outside because we are not on the field with them. Yes, they have more work to do but they will gradually get there with the help of investors. Let’s continue to encourage our nollywood industry. If you know how foreigners love nollywood, you won’t take it for granted. I didn’t appreciate our movies until I relocated. Now I can’t stop watching nollywood movies on TH-cam and Netflix. Kudos to you all, let’s keep the conversation going🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Due to stress and distractions in modern life, it’s really hard to maintain a dialogue with our inner selves about who we are and want to be. What a great episode 👍🏾. Nice one guys
Blood sisters, Jolly Roger , and Collision, just to name a few, are brilliant movies definitely worth watching. Daniel is definitely an action man. He was brilliant in Jolly Roger and Collision. I do like him in romantic roles, but for me personally, the action roles are more suited to him. He is a versatile actor, and so far from all the movies i have watched, he has shown he can execute any role. 👌🏾👌🏾
Another insight-filled episode which could easily have gone on for an additional hour, but alas... Nonetheless, well done, gentlemen. I particularly appreciated the bits about some of the challenges facing the Nigerian movie industry, Daniel's respect for "the process" and discipline while putting in the work and remaining accountable to himself and his family. Lots of gems dropped. Bem feito senhores👏🏽👏🏽
So true! You mention “lead”. And some men think it means to control and some women think it means submitting to a man that controls, where you lose your identity. Not at all!
Beautiful episode..i felt the fair dude was bombarding him with lots of question thus interrupting daniel's flow in the conversation. Its a podcast not a Q and A
That statement of “If you get married because you are genuinely at the stage shows” is spot on! You’ll literally be dedicated and respectful and the fantasies of the streets won’t excite you no matter your past or temptations. They’ll come but you’ll be willing to put in the work. A home that starts out of pressure will be more difficult to work on.
I feel Daniel is a true believer that walks in faith. From what I know of him, he is a devout Christian and I think plus the upbringing helps him stay disciplined. And I’d love to see an episode talking about the spiritual side of dating in a modern context.. I’m not a “holier than thou” type of a person but trying to build my faith in God and would love to know more in that aspect when it comes to Lagos
Nollywood has a huge market. The industry is just not structured enough to take advantage of the entire market. The infrastructure needed to distribute the films are also not present. It will happen eventually… it’s a matter of time.
@@akasidina1708 No, they're not. How many South Africans can afford Netflix and Showmax, you're cutting out 90% of your consumer base, then. Series like Uzalo, Gomorrah, Muvhango, Generations are staples of SABC.
Lovely. He has a good head on his shoulders. All round decent guy. Nollywood had the market... lost it. Yes, money is an issue but it's a catch 22. A good production would bring good audiences. Writing, as you said, is pretty shitty. Directing too. And money miss road productions. Well, kudos to those still striving.
If you’re shocked at Daniel’s role in Oloture, it means you didn’t watch him as Folarin in Gidi Up… 🤣🤣🤣 He played a terrible person in his very first role in Nollywood 😂
Y'all should calm down. The way Nigerians criticize nollywood, it's appalling. The industry is growing, no one is noticing that. Some of you last watched nollywood 20 years ago, and still have that kind of thought process regarding nollywood.

If mature,articulated and coordinated was a person, it would be Daniel Etim-Effiong.
Beautiful episode😊
Yep!
I'm here because of the Love I have for Toyosi♥️♥️♥️♥️..... Daniel is a bonus 😅😅♥️♥️
Great interview. It's so cool and refreshing listening to a young man these days that talks about marriage like Daniel does. God bless his home.
We agree!
This man is Handsome, very intelligent, and Godly. May God bless him and his household.
AMEN IN JESUS' MIGHTY NAME🙏🙏🙏
Daniel is such a class act, I'll watch any and everything he's in. Great interview!
Etim, you are indeed so deeply insightful and real❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You can say that again

Exactly. I felt this too. Maturity and all
Love Daniel, this was a really great interview. 🎉
Amazing interview. You can tell how intentional Etim Effiong is. Well articulated responses.
I choose to call him Lanre because of his role in the series THE MENS CLUB . He is one of my favourite actors in Nollywood.
Omoh this season of menisms is really menisming!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it

To the man in the green jacket, that beard is thriving! I love it!!
You sabi!🤣
Menisms🥰
This podcast needs more traction. I love the flow of sincere conversations.
This was a lovely interview. I can see a hybrid of Daniel’s engineering skills and military upbringing in how structured he is about life. Well done👌🏾
Due to stress and distractions in modern life, it’s really hard to maintain a dialogue with our inner selves about who we are and want to be. What a great episode 👍🏾. Nice one guys
Honestly! It is very hard o. I can relate
Wow this is a beautifully structured comment. I loved how you said "maintain a dialog with ourselves"❤
I really enjoyed this. Etim is 💯 that guy!!!
🚀🚀🚀
I’m a huge fan of Daniel’s work. Great interview…Kudos guys
Thank you 😊
@@madeauxafrica Stop fetishizing us South Africans, please? Appreciate your own
@@suzygirl1843 Rest abeg
Hey Daniel, you're a top notch. Respect❤❤
Hey, thanks!
Waow, Daniel has so much insight.Wish you can let young people hear this
I like the way Daniel is so intentional about his marriage.
Daniel Etim is too good. He's a gift earnestly
More respect for Daniel. Thanks guys for this.

Y’all didn’t come to play this season, such a good guest 🔥
I cried, the same thing was said when my mum passed.
Very sincere and relevant questions. Kudos

Actually better than I thought. Great interview
Lovely. I must add though, men please marry women who want to be led, to avoid problems. women, please marry men who can lead, to avoid problems.
Can men actually LEAD women correctly? It's been 400 years and black men are proven to be the worst leaders in history
I hope control isn't what people think is to lead.
So true! You mention “lead”. And some men think it means to control and some women think it means submitting to a man that controls, where you lose your identity. Not at all!
@@Jadefrances honestly...so many mistake leading for control
I can listen to this all day . Thank you guys for this brilliant content. My fave , Daniel Effiong you are always a delight to watch. Weldone guys👏👏👏
I just came across this and I watched. Really good stuff, Daniel speaking pidgin is so funny 😂
every man must go back to 23:15 Daniel is solid…
I jumped from my seat honestly. That's what it actually is. Self leadership even as a single
This was awesome! Daniel is a gem 💎
Yooooo this is the most educative episode ever if you ask me. 💯💯💯
I enjoyed the interview. I learned a lot as a man, husband, and father
So Good to hear that
Each episode is just unique in its own way 😊😊
Listened on Apple Podcast, had to come to TH-cam to comment. Amazing episode, especially about the taking up responsibility part about fatherhood.
Amazing. Thank you Dammie
This has to be my favourite episode so far!.. beautiful!
Yep, Leadership is a process, it doesnt jump on us.
Gosh!! This episode is so touching 😢😢 I've learnt.
Beautiful episode..i felt the fair dude was bombarding him with lots of question thus interrupting daniel's flow in the conversation. Its a podcast not a Q and A
Be like I am a fan of this podcast too ooo. Madeaux well done.
Appreciated
This was a top notch episode, loved it!!!!❤️🔥
I love how they brought beauty privilege into this
A Daniel Etim Effiong movie production.
Aiyyyy....
Handsome men, watching from South Africa.
This was a lovely interview. 🥰
This man is wise! I am impressed!
To be honest this is the type of men that need to be in this show
Wow. This was an amazing interview. The part about discipline starting as a single. Wow!! Loved this
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very enlightening episode with Daniel
That statement of “If you get married because you are genuinely at the stage shows” is spot on!

Well said! ✨
I loooove mature men ❤❤❤Daniel beautiful man proud to be married
🙏🏾
Top notch content! 🔥
Thank you
This was good.
This is good.
Really enjoyed this episode. Very enlightening
I feel Daniel is a true believer that walks in faith. From what I know of him, he is a devout Christian and I think plus the upbringing helps him stay disciplined.
And I’d love to see an episode talking about the spiritual side of dating in a modern context..

That was a cool interview.
My first time watching your podcast and I loved it 😊 I am happy with your questions and now I know a little more about him😊I am a huge fan ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Welcome aboard! Good to know you enjoyed the episode
Would have been great hear more about therapy. Can Daniel advise on a good therapy resource/therapist? Thanks.
Hooked up from point A to Z

South Africans are catching on to the Nigerian content. I watch it on Netflix, though. I wish we had our own distribution
@@suzygirl1843 South African movies are mostly on Netflix and showmax
@@suzygirl1843 even in Ghana our industry is suffering because we don't get movies to watch again
@@akasidina1708 No, they're not. How many South Africans can afford Netflix and Showmax, you're cutting out 90% of your consumer base, then. Series like Uzalo, Gomorrah, Muvhango, Generations are staples of SABC.
Well done guys. I am not young. I am not a man. But a lot of this was outstanding
Loved this episode ❤
Amazing Episode. Some many gems to take home.
please how can i download the movie
I still wonder what happened to gidi up season 3
Video request: Male Hygiene. 😤
Mama T hit a jackpot, Daniel is on STEROIDS, Such an intelligent Individual.
Chemical engineering.... My people 🙌🏽
😂
@Vieve Tv 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No no Daniel 's good looking privilege is just part; he is a good actor. There are fine boys we with no brains
Lovely. He has a good head on his shoulders. All round decent guy.

Martha!🙌🏾
I agree with most of the argument. 4 walls. No money. Cut and paste. Roles not good.
"now wife"
What is bad casting bro? The question was not specific?
I enjoyed this episode and he is a truly amazing actor, but in my opinion, he does not fit into the category of a fine boy .
hmmm..."now wife"
Lol . .what do you mean?
If you’re shocked at Daniel’s role in Oloture, it means you didn’t watch him as Folarin in Gidi Up… 🤣🤣🤣
