Veteran actor, Richard Mofe Damijo popularly known as RMD has revealed that Nigerians have given him the best birthday week.
RMD’s appreciation is coming at a time when Nigerians demanded for embattled Pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo to take a leave of absence from the pulpit over allegations of sexual assault by Busola Dakolo.
He wrote: ”The thing about getting older is that with each passing day you know yourself better, find your voice more and generally become better aware. It’s been 58, years of stumbles, falls, wrong turns, dreadful mistakes and errors but in all, they have been 58, remarkable years of God’s consistent grace and mercies.
“If after all these years I am afraid to speak the truth irrespective of whose ox is gored, then I have failed, which is why I have never been prouder of being Nigerian than I am now because Nigerians have given me the best birthday week, ever. It’s been a harvest of protests that have brought positive results.
“ It indeed gives me hope that even though a lot of young people in this generation are misinformed, misguided and scaringly shallow, a lot more have their heads in the right places and I am optimistic that it can only get better, so as I reflect on my years, I pray that Proverbs chapter 31, verses 8 and 9 will guide the remaining years of my life, Amen”.
The 58-year-old superstar was a former Commissioner for Culture and Tourism in Delta State.

I’m no surprised when people who earn next to nothing buy cars- RMD
Veteran actor , Richard Mofe Damijo has declared that he is no longer surprised by people who earn next to nothing allegedly buying cars and houses.
The respected entertainer made this known on his Instagram page, saying living a fake lifestyle often puts people in trouble.
“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’,” he said
“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 that often puts people in trouble”
RMD also noted that people should live by faith instead of faking it.
“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. So welcome to 2019 and instead of faking it again this year, I dare you to faith it till you make it.”

How I was adviced to buy fake Instagram followers-Richard Mofe Damijo
Veteran Nollywood actor and former Delta State Commissioner, Richard Mofe Damijo has shared how he was adviced to buy fake Instagram followers, adding that the so called ‘Gurus’ told him it was going to help his brand .
The boyish looking actor made this known on his Instagram page where he said he didn’t want to build a brand out of falsified Instagram followers
According to him:” When I was told to open an Instagram account and reactivate my other social media accounts, I didn’t want to but because I also wanted a place where I could engage my fans I decided to. In no time I started getting offers from social media “gurus” who offered to grow my “follower-ship” with a snap of their fingers and boost my online ratings, so “brands and products would kill themselves over me”. Offers that were hard to resist, but when I sat with my team and reviewed, we found out these “gurus” often purchased faceless followers, likes and even comments, so I asked myself if I wanted to be a sensation borne out of falsified popularity. I weighed the options between quick internet fame, the money that came with it and being sincere by letting my true personality grow my accounts. I settled for the later. “Ah, Bros e go hard for you to get endorsements o if you no get reach 1 million followers”… “Just buy, everybody dey do am” were some of the arguments I heard but in my heart I knew it couldn’t be everyone and even if it were I wouldn’t, I thought to myself, after all, I didn’t get my Glo deal by how much internet fame I had.
“At way less than 200k plus followers, I got a call from Heineken and went to Vegas for the 007 Spyfie Experience. At way less than 1 million followers, Johnnie Walker snatched me up and with my less than 1 million followers, I turned down countless endorsement, influencer and ambassadorial offers.
“Slowly but surely, my followers grew. I didn’t have to create a scandal, deny my faith or be politically correct. I did not have to pay for one follower, like or comment. I did not even know I had a million followers till yesterday at the office when my Creative Team Lead pointed it out.
Today, I humbly but proudly thank my 1million real followers for being the best anyone could ever ask for. I am indeed reminded that you don’t have to do it because everyone is doing it and that “doing it” doesn’t guarantee that you will make it because the race is indeed not to the swift but it is The Lord that shows mercy.
