Timini Egbuson, a Nigerian actor, has commented on the current social media controversy by drawing comparisons between himself and fellow actor Efa Iwara.
An X user’s comparison of Nollywood stars Timini and Efa Ewara as flirts sparked the drama on social media.
Are we certain that, like Timini, Efa Ewara isn’t getting as close as the largest flirt? He’s quite alluring!
But not everyone shared her opinion, which countered arguments about which of the two men was a greater actor.
Some expressed their opinion that both guys are talented actors, while others said Timini’s performance was only “mid.”
One X user in particular tweeted, “Timini CANNOT act. In an act off, Efa will tear his singlet. The โflirtingโ you people praise so much is corny, cringe-worthy shit.”

“Madam decieve yourself Timini is a great actor”
“Nigga has been given the greatest Love lines And he says it like he is saying ordinary words.”
“Lol Timini is a good actor, but youโre right in saying Efa is way stronger actor. Lol his wives will finish you today ๐๐๐
But tbh I feel like Timiniโs strength lies in his non romantic roles. His way of portraying romance can be too surface level sometimes.”

However, in a tweet in response to the commotion, Timini implied that the debate might be a publicity trick and urged fans to back their favourite actors without bringing him into the discussion.
He wrote, “I can smell a pr campaign from a mile away and tbh itโs getting boring. Push your fav in peace and leave my name out of the conversations. Iโve found my tribe and they love my work. 15 years strong. Lovely view I woke up to.”

โI have found my tribe, and they love my work โ in all honesty find your audience โค๏ธ.”
“Timini’s style isn’t for everyone but it’s definitely unique and he’s good at it.”
“Anyone who thinks Timini canโt act donโt know anything about acting. Timini is one of the most natural actors out there.”
“He could have responded to this in a better way though. This was not PR. Efa is not into clout that he will now pay for PR. Laye! There is no reason why you should allow fans make you talk about your colleague like that. I can imagine if he was Davido or Wizkid. I love both Timini and Efa but I stand on the fact that he could have delivered his message without the first sentence. He is cinema landlord and nobody is taking it from him anytime soon.”
