Nollywood actor Daniel Etim Effiong has opened up on how his wife, Toyosi Etm Effiong, had helped reshape his mindset and take bold steps.

While speaking in a interview, Daniel spoke about his childhood and his initial plans for marriage, revealing how his environment influenced his idea of sucess.

Daniel further revealed that his wife pushes him to move away from his comfort zone and dare to do big things

“I have learned from you to do big things. To just do big things. Since I’ve met this girl, she just used to do—she punched well above your weight. Well above your weight. I grew up in Anthony Village… then we moved to Bagada… then my brother got a house in Lekki and moved to Lekki… I grew up seeing mobility… you can start somewhere, start small, and then move and then grow. I’m like, ‘Hey, you know, we’re getting married… I want to get a house in Yaba because, you know, we should start…Toyosi is like, ‘But I have a house in Lekki. Why are you—move into my house! Why are you moving to Yaba?’,” he recalled.

Daniel also stressed that he had to stretch his mind and expand his dreams because of his wife.

“Because of you, I had to stretch my mind. I had to grow. I had to push myself to say, ‘You know what? Why do I have to start with Yaba… why can’t I just start with Lekki?’ And it was a stretch for me,” he added
