Popular Nollywood actor Mike Folarin has spoken candidly about what he describes as one of the most uncomfortable experiences he has faced since rising to stardom, revealing that dealing with overly excited fans has not always been pleasant.
In an interview with media personality VJ Adams, the actor disclosed that some female fans have crossed personal boundaries, including instances where he was kissed without his permission. Folarin described the experience as shocking and inappropriate, noting that it occurred during a night outing in Lagos.
According to him, the situation was made worse by the environment, as alcohol appeared to have influenced people’s behaviour. He stressed that admiration should never override personal boundaries and called on fans to always seek consent before engaging with public figures.
“Consent is extremely important,” the actor emphasized, urging fans to be respectful regardless of fame or familiarity.
Daniel Etim-Effiong Opens Up on Life-Changing University Ordeal
In a separate revelation, fellow Nollywood actor Daniel Etim-Effiong has shared how a painful incident during his university days altered the course of his life and faith.
Speaking during an interview with Taymesan, Etim-Effiong recounted how he was expelled from the Federal University of Technology, Minna, after being falsely accused of belonging to a cult. The actor described the experience as devastating, especially because he maintained that the allegation was completely untrue.
Following his expulsion, he relocated to Jos, Plateau State, where he said the sudden freedom he experienced was accompanied by deep emotional turmoil. According to him, feelings of anger, confusion, and disappointment led him down a path he never imagined for himself.
He admitted that during that period, he picked up habits he associated with frustration and resentment toward life, adding that the experience strained his relationship with God.
At the time of the incident, Etim-Effiong said he was actively involved in church activities and belonged to a Christian fellowship on campus. He recalled feeling deeply hurt when the fellowship failed to defend him or speak up on his behalf despite knowing his character.

The lack of support from people he trusted, he explained, left him discouraged and spiritually disoriented. Over time, he gradually distanced himself from church, feeling abandoned during one of the most challenging seasons of his life.
Reflecting on the experience, the actor described it as a turning point that reshaped his perspective on faith, trust, and personal resilience.
