”None of my parents lived to be 60, so for me, life is just about to get started” are the words of Nollywood veteran actor Richard Mofe Damijo, popularly known as RMD as he marks his 60th birthday. According to the actor, there had been a spectre of death around his life, which he had been dealing with overtime but was grateful to God, for marking his 60th birthday.
Public figures and fans of RMD have taken to social media to celebrate the veteran. @ebuka posted “RMD is 60 years, 60years young”.
Veteran actress Joke Silvia posted “The one and only Richard Mofe Damijo RMD. In 1993, you played my priest in the ‘King must Dance Naked'(stage).
