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.
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!!
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 UA-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
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.
Why are Nigerians never authentic to themselves and their society? Why must Nigerians copy what happens to other people and society? There is no 9-5 in Nigeria and but they will continue to say 9-5 because it's what is obtainable in America? Work starts from 8 am in Nigeria and ends by 4pm. If you go to work in Nigeria by 9 am, you are late. So Nigerians stop with the whole 9-5 thingy. It's appalling.

If mature,articulated and coordinated was a person, it would be Daniel Etim-Effiong.
Beautiful episode😊
Yep!
Daniel is such a class act, I'll watch any and everything he's in. Great interview!

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.
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!!
Exactly. I felt this too. Maturity and all
Michael was really listening to Daniel keenly😂so adorable.😌

This podcast needs more traction. I love the flow of sincere conversations.
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"❤
Y’all didn’t come to play this season, such a good guest 🔥
Danny you never cease to amaze me, you do all, tell my sis in-law that she should chill👌👌👌
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👌🏾
I really enjoyed this. Etim is 💯 that guy!!!
🚀🚀🚀
Waow, Daniel has so much insight.Wish you can let young people hear this
Thoroughly enjoyed this! Very well delivered by all three of you 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
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👏👏👏

Yooooo this is the most educative episode ever if you ask me. 💯💯💯
I like the way Daniel is so intentional about his marriage.
Listened on Apple Podcast, had to come to UA-cam to comment. Amazing episode, especially about the taking up responsibility part about fatherhood.
Amazing. Thank you Dammie
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
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 was awesome! Daniel is a gem 💎
Daniel etim effiong have such a beautiful and a wonderful smile and laughter 😃 ❤
Each episode is just unique in its own way 😊😊
Great interview! Like the intentionality and wisdom of Daniel Effiong in his life, career and family too. A fan of your movies!
He's such a great and complete man
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
I love how they brought beauty privilege into this
This has to be my favourite episode so far!.. beautiful!
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
Actually better than I thought. Great interview
This was a top notch episode, loved it!!!!❤️🔥
To the man in the green jacket, that beard is thriving! I love it!!
You sabi!🤣
I cried, the same thing was said when my mum passed.

So Good to hear that
Very sincere and relevant questions. Kudos
To be honest this is the type of men that need to be in this show
This was a lovely interview. 🥰
Be like I am a fan of this podcast too ooo. Madeaux well done.

Yep, Leadership is a process, it doesnt jump on us.
Gosh!! This episode is so touching 😢😢 I've learnt.
Hey Daniel, you're a top notch. Respect❤❤

South Africans are catching on to the Nigerian content. I watch it on Netflix, though. I wish we had our own distribution

@@suzygirl1843 even in Ghana our industry is suffering because we don't get movies to watch again

Well done guys. I am not young. I am not a man. But a lot of this was outstanding
Absolutely interesting

Amazing Episode. Some many gems to take home.
Video request: Male Hygiene. 😤
please how can i download the movie
I still wonder what happened to gidi up season 3
Mama T hit a jackpot, Daniel is on STEROIDS, Such an intelligent Individual.
No no Daniel 's good looking privilege is just part; he is a good actor. There are fine boys we with no brains
Chemical engineering.... My people 🙌🏽
😂
@Vieve Tv 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"now wife"
I agree with most of the argument. 4 walls. No money. Cut and paste. Roles not good.
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 .
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 😂

Oya sorry
@@saliualiu8591 😆
It’s not that deep. Chill! Goodness. 9-5 is an idiom now and not said only in the literal sense. It stands for an office job whether it’s 10am - 2pm
I work 9 - 5 in Lagos though. 9-5 just means day job
Just a common expression for sedentary job. Day job. That’s all
Micheal needs some serious therapy. And he needs to grow up like bruh #respectfully
That body makes me work out.🤦
I don’t like Daniel and I don’t know why ? I find him so Annoying
Eeyah! You will be fine
We do!! If u don't, turn it off🤷🏿
@@shellyjoe lol same thing I said
U can't like everyone so rest
