Didi Ekanem expressed her willingness to marry a man like Madu, highlighting her respect for his work and stating that she would happily join him in such a business venture.

Recently, a video of Sylvester Madu proudly showcasing his “business empire” featuring multiple individuals engaged in the sale of various second-hand goods went viral. In response to fans expressing surprise over his chosen means of livelihood, the actor took to the video-sharing platform TikTok to address the matter and labeled those who found his hustle unusual as foolish.
