As a better way of starting a New Year, Nollywood’s veteran actor, Richard Mofe Damijo is pleading with Nigerians, especially his colleagues to stop the fake lifestyles they display on social media, deceiving the gullible youth.

RMD as he is fondly called says he is worried over the new trend.

“I’m no longer surprised when people who earn next to nothing allegedly buy multi million dollar cars and homes, after all the catch phrase is “FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT” but the question is, is faking it a guarantee to making it? Absolutely not,” he said.

Continuing, the multiple award winning actor advised that there are better ways to make it in life without deceiving people.

” I have never believed the principle of faking it till you make it because it is a faulty principle that often puts people in trouble.

So, I want to share a principle that has worked for me, which is the principle of FAITH and utter total trust in God’s word. The principle that is sure to not only produce results but produce results that are long lasting not the fleeting fame and fortune that comes with FAKING IT. Instead of faking it again this year, I dare you to “FAITH IT TILL YOU MAKE IT” he added.
