Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has sparked reactions on social media after sharing his views on how he approaches women he is interested in.

In a statement circulating online, the actor said he would not immediately reveal his romantic interest if he was attracted to someone else's partner. Instead, he claimed he would first build a friendship with her and make himself a consistent presence in her life.

According to him, any attempt by the woman's partner to prevent the friendship could make the partner appear insecure or unreasonable.

The comments quickly generated debate among social media users, with many sharing differing opinions on relationships, boundaries and friendships between men and women.
