Veteran actor, Richard Mofe Damijo who turned 56 years old today, took
to his Instagram page to talk about his life experiences and the
difficulties he has had to go through in order to get to where he is
now. He wrote;
Patoranking's "Nobody wey nor fit to make am o" is the apt theme song for my life as I celebrate my 56th birthday today.
From Welfare Road Warri, Delta State to the Silver
Screen, it's been an often times surreal experience that anyone who has
made it from a similar place of obscurity can relate to. I believe my
journey, like most journeys to greatness usually start from self belief.
It's hard for me to believe I have done 34 years post graduation.
There's been struggles, uncertainties, living abroad seeking greener
pastures, returning home, businesses have risen, flourished and some
fallen.
There's been a marriage, a painful death, another blessed marriage,
joyous births and more academic pursuits and degrees. There's been my
sojourn in government for 8 years, the birth of my precious
grandchildren and the return that was first scary till I felt the
overwhelming love and support of my ever growing fan base. What a
journey. What a packed 56years. I am indeed grateful and thankful. No, I
didn't wake up like this (as RMD), No, I didn't always know that I
would "make it". It's been Faith, Hard work, Self development and more
work. But above all I have been more graced than my efforts could ever
have done which is why in this journey, God is my ride or die and today I
return all the glory to Him.
