Pressed on whether those moments were enjoyable, the actor acknowledged they were valuable in hindsight. “Yes, they were periods of learning for me. If I learned, then they were good periods.”
He shared that while womanizing may seem attractive or “cool” to many young people, it often leads to long-term consequences.

“I tell young people a lot that it is cool to be a player, but if you develop that habit or lifestyle, you won’t automatically change overnight,” he said.
Etim-Effiong stressed the danger of carrying unhealthy relationship patterns into marriage.

“When you marry, that muscle hasn’t been developed, so you encounter one challenge and you want to immediately jump… If you are the kind of person that before you got married it was easy for you to just walk away, keep different relationships, keep ladies on the string, that won’t change when you get married,” he added.
