Veteran Nollywood actor Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) may have dropped this truth bomb a year ago, but his powerful words are still making waves today — and for good reason.
In a candid and heartfelt statement he shared exactly a year ago, RMD opened up about the real challenges of staying faithful in marriage — and his timeless advice continues to strike a deep chord with fans across the world.
“Let’s be honest – staying with one partner for life isn’t always easy,” RMD began, addressing a truth many shy away from. “Most men naturally feel attracted to more than one woman. Yes, a man can truly love his wife and still find other women tempting.”
But the celebrated actor didn’t stop there. He offered a powerful reminder about responsibility and commitment: “You have to control yourself. You have to learn to walk away. You have to remind yourself that those temptations can destroy everything you’ve built – your peace, your respect, your family, your home.”
Known for his decades-long marriage to his wife, Jumobi Adegbesan, RMD’s words hit differently because he speaks from experience, not theory. He emphasized that marriage is not about the absence of temptation but about the discipline to honor the promises made.
“If you don’t guard your home, who will?” he challenged.
RMD concluded with a hard but hopeful truth: “Temptation will always be out there. But your wedding vows – the promises you made – are stronger. You just have to keep listening to them. Being faithful is not easy. But it is possible.”
Even a year later, the legendary actor’s honest take has sparked fresh discussions online, with many praising him for pulling back the curtain on a topic often hidden behind glossy Instagram posts and fairy-tale portrayals of marriage.
