Why being faithful in marriage is hard – veteran actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo

• RMD has confessed that keeping a woman’s advances at bay as a married man is quite difficult.
• The actor made the claim during a recent interview with colleague, Teju Babyface.
• RMD said that most women target married men, particularly celebrities, just because, and it makes it hard to stay faithful.

Nigerian movie star, producer and lawyer, Richard Mofe Damijo has claimed that being faithful in marriage is very hard.

RMD, as the veteran thespian is widely referred to, made the admittance to comedian, show host and actor, Teju Oyelakin aka Teju Babyface on one of the episodes of his podcast, TejuBabyface DeepDive.

Teju had asked if it was hard being faithful in marriage and RMD responded in the affirmative, saying it is hard especially for entertainers.

RMD said:

“It is hard (to be faithful in marriage) because if you are in the line of work that we are in it is very hard because let’s face it, everyone of us that is married, we are the target.”

“I mean look at how women are. How can you escape it?

“Women are like Delilah, they are like Jezebels, they prepare and the only way you can perpetuate the real intentions of the enemy is to constantly aim at the image of God or the symbol of authority in any home. You shoot it down, it’s like being a general or a commander in a battlefield, you drop him and the battalion scatters.”

Continuing, RMD added:

“It’s very difficult and you have to get to a point where your wife understands what she’s up against as well because if your wife is not up to speed on what she’s up against, then your flanks would be left open.

“So, if there’s no harmony on that field.. I saw TD Jakes speak about this and I was so impressed. He said if you wanna know who’s got my back, jump me. It spoke to me and for me, that is what defines my life. You can’t touch my family and if I can react the way I react if you touch my family, then my family is got to be able to react the same way.”

The connection between RMD and Teju began on the set of Tade Ogidan’s hit film, ‘Diamond Ring,’ which features both as father and son with Sola Sobowale playing the role of a wife and mum.
