Veteran Nollywood actress, Rita Edochie, has shared a heartfelt message to married men, urging them to remain faithful to their wives and avoid mistreating them in pursuit of temporary flings.

 

In a post shared on her Instagram page to start the week, Edochie warned that while side chicks may seem thrilling in the moment, they often lead to long-term regret—especially as men grow older and begin to reflect on past decisions.

 

She reminded her followers that wives are more than just partners—they are loyal supporters, confidantes, and friends who stand by their husbands through life’s ups and downs.

 

“You don’t have to treat your wives badly because of a roaming side chick. In the nearest future, age will drop on your side; only then will you realize the value of that poor woman you mistreated,” she wrote.

 

Edochie further emphasized the importance of commitment and the need for men to invest in building lasting bonds with their spouses rather than chasing fleeting pleasures.

 

“When the thrill fades with age—and it will—you’ll be left with regret and the realization of the value of the woman you mistreated,” she added.

 

Her post has sparked wide reactions online, with many praising her for speaking up on the value of marriage and the importance of honoring one’s partner.
