BN Exclusive: Quintessential RMD – Richard Mofe Damijo speaks about fatherhood, his career & legacy in the June 2011 issue of Genevieve Magazine
Posted on Thursday, June 2nd, 2011 at 9:17 PMBy BellaNaija.com
The brand new issue of Genevieve Magazine features Nigeria’s original celebrity heartthrob Richard Mofe Damijo. It is great to see RMD and he looks as dapper as ever! Find out all about it in the June 2011 issue of Genevieve Magazine.
In the late 80s, he was one of Nigeria’s biggest rising stars. The first actor to be paid a million naira for a movie role, he starred in several award-winning roles and soon became a household name as Segun Kadiri in the popular soap, Checkmate. So when Richard Mofe Damijo checked out of his movie career to study for another university degree, you could almost hear the hearts of his fanbase breaking as one. Worse still, when he returned to Nigeria, it wasn’t to take up a script, but an appointment with the Delta state government, first as the Special Adviser on Culture and Entertainment, now as the Commissioner for Culture and Tourism. From movies to politics, RMD has seen it all and lived more lives than most, from experiencing teenage pregnancy to surviving the tragic scandal surrounding the death of his first wife, MEE. But what can compare to his journey as a father? From a reluctant young dad, to a dedicated family man, RMD has now arrived at a place where he is able to say family comes first and know exactly what that means.

I watch every Nollywood movie with RMD in it. I have so far not been disappointed.

RMD n i go way bck, he asked me out one tym, sed NO…well we r still frnds sha…u knw nw, he’s always tryna keep in touch n all. well dats jst it…ROFLMAO
My Ex looks so much like him!
Wonder why one would break up with a Man like this… Hmmm, my dear, story for another day.
Now am reconsidering going back!
He is so yummy!
Bros ur baby girl looks so much like you .ur guy is handsome too well done. take care .we miss u on the scam ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
the man has all the qualities of a fine wine.
he is a really fyn guy, how tym flies…nawa o!! c ol da white hair, well i rmbr wen we were little and he used to be on “check mate” he wld come to our neighbours house and carry us up and down and play with us….he has to be old by now considering d fact that i am 2yrs married with a kid
I had a huge crush on this guy back in those days….he still looks good though and his kids are nice looking. He was a fantastic actor i kind of miss him on screen, but i guess politics money is satisfying him for now. If i were him i would direct movies and open a production company …don’t know if he does that already.
I am just curious. Why is Jumobi not in this photo shoot? Any answers please? Abi the marriage get wahala?
i like how peaple commend your effort in the nollywood in industry. Pls keep it up. I dont think ur still there but what so ur doin still right done.
HELLO uncle Richie,i’ve really missed ur movies and am sure Nija misses u too pls come back soon we love u.and my luv 2 ur wife and kids stay blessed
