If You Bring Ten Couples Fights To The Table, Eight Out Of Them Are He’s Cheating On Me — Oga Bello

Veteran Nollywood actor, producer and director Adebayo Salami, popularly known as Oga Bello, has advised men to be cautious about polygamous marriages, citing Nigeria’s economic situation and what he described as the challenges of relationships in the present generation. Salami gave the advice during an interview on the African A-List Podcast aired on Saturday, November 14, 2026.

The actor said younger generations might find it difficult to manage marriages involving multiple wives because of the demands and pressures associated with such arrangements. “My advice to them on polygamy is that because of this country’s economy and because of the generation we are in right now, they cannot endure it. Men should not give themselves problems,” he said.

Salami also expressed his views on disagreements between husbands and wives, claiming that women often raise concerns about their husbands’ alleged infidelity during marital disputes. “Women give men a lot of problems, but men don’t give women problems. The idea is that if you bring ten couples’ fights to the table, eight out of them are, ‘He’s cheating on me,’” he stated.

He argued that, in some cases, a woman’s concerns about infidelity could overshadow other responsibilities fulfilled by her husband, even when he is otherwise regarded as responsible. “Even if the husband is very responsible, she wouldn’t look at that. She prefers him being irresponsible than cheating on her,” the actor said.

Salami concluded by urging men to exercise caution in their relationships and decisions about marriage. “To me, one has to be very, very, very careful,” he added.
