Actor Daniel Etim Effiong has said that people dealing with infidelity in marriage should be approached with empathy and support rather than immediate condemnation, describing cheating as a problem that requires help and healing.

n

The actor made the remarks during a conversation on Diary of a Naija girl podcast where he spoke about how couples and society should handle marital issues and personal mistakes.

n

“I think the approach should be, if someone messes up in a marriage, it should first come from a
place of, ‘How can I help you?’

n

According to him, the focus should be on helping the person address the underlying issue before
discussions about healing can begin.

n

“No, this is a problem, how can I help you out of this problem? To deal with it, you have to come
out of this problem. It’s a problem before we can start talking about healing”.

n

The actor further compared cheating to other forms of wrongdoing, noting that it should be
viewed in the same light as behaviours such as lying and stealing.

n

“Cheating is like other things like lying and stealing”.
