Why male actors beg online than actresses — Daniel Etim Effiong

Actor and film director, Daniel Etim




Actor Daniel Etim Effiong has detailed why female thespians dont come online to beg for money as much their male counterparts.

According to Effiong, society is designed in a way that favours women more, especially in the area of standing up to responsibilities.

He said men are quick to rise to womens needs compared to when the men have problems and need help.

Daniel said rather than ask women for help they would solve the problem on their own till they finally cannot but turn to social media to seek financial support.

Effiong added that a womans money is largely for herself but a mans money is for his entire family.

The actor was recently featured on the Bahd And Boujee Podcast co-hosted by actress Moet Abebe and reality star Tolanibaj.

The co-host, Moet asked: Why is it mostly male actors that come online to ask for crowdfunding?

Effiong replied: Traditionally, in the society that we all exist in, women have been largely mens responsibility. So whenever there is a problem with the woman, men are quick to rise up to the occasion and meet that need or solve that problem.

Whatever culture you come from in Nigeria, it would be a taboo to the men when the women in that culture have a problem and the men are not solving it. So, if you flip that, the converse of that is when the men have issues, the men need to solve the issues. Women are not going to rise up to solve the Issues for men largely. Men have to sort themselves out. And when a man reaches a point where he can not solve his problems, he is not going to go to a woman, he is going to go to the world and be like, ˜Guys, Ive reached my limit. I cannot help myself, come help me. (The Nation)
