Veteran Nollywood actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo, popularly known as RMD, has advised his followers to desist from living ‘fake lives’ for online buzz.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that in a New Year message posted on Instagram, the actor charged young people to do better in 2019.
In the weeks leading to the end of 2018, social media buzzed with pictures of new cars and houses displayed by users from all walks of life.
Reacting to the display, RMD said that there was no need to fake success in the bid to attract real success as it mounts unnecessary pressure on people.
“I am 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. I have never believed the principle of faking it till you make it because it is a faulty principle.
“It 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 results that are long lasting, not the fleeting fame and fortune that comes with faking it.
“So welcome to 2019, and instead of faking it again this year, I dare you to faith it till you make it, Happy New Year again people. One Love,” RMD wrote.
