Social media is on fire after a kissing scene between Nollywood actor Etim Effiong and actress Bolaji Ogunmola surfaced online — and netizens are dragging the actor nonstop over it.

The clip was first shared under a tweet praising the duo’s on-screen chemistry, with the poster insisting that “no one in Nollywood kisses better than these two.” But the comments that followed quickly turned the conversation into a full-blown debate about marriage, boundaries, and Nollywood romance roles.

Some users accused Etim of featuring in “too many” romantic roles despite being married, questioning why he appears in more kissing scenes than even unmarried actors. One user wrote, “This guy is becoming annoying at this point. Why is a married man always in these romantic movies?”

Another X user took it even further, claiming Etim’s wife has “valid reasons to crash out,” while others insisted that no spouse would be comfortable watching their partner kiss this passionately on camera.

Not everyone agreed, though. A few users defended the actor, reminding critics that it’s literally his job. One commenter wrote: “You people know this kiss is strictly between the characters, right? It’s called acting for a reason.”

Still, the dragging continued, with some users joking that they could “never marry an actor or actress” because seeing their partner “twist tongue in the name of acting” would never sit well with them.
