Nollywood actor, Richard Mofe Damijo is not only a good actor, he is also a dotting father, who prides himself in raising a son and daughter.

Today, his teenge daughter, Efemena, turns 16 and he has taken to Intagram to send a message to her.

Sharing his joys as a proud father, the actor notes that he regrets that the young girl does not speak his native tongue fluently.

According to him, she does not know more that ‘migwo in their native Urhobo language. This, he says he wishes to change. Also, the actor says he will remain an African dad that will always set rules, even in his child’s house. He therefore admonishes her not to let go of her Christian and African values.

Read RMD’s note to his daughter below;

My Efemena, My Princess, I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since I wrote you “that letter” and low-key made some promises -sigh- had I known 2 years were going to creep up on me so quickly, I wouldn’t have been so quick to! -sob-

I look at you and still thank God for gifting you to me, I still worry about the difference between your generation and mine and still worry that I would never be a good enough parent to you and your brother.

I just wish I raised you to speak Urhobo beyond Migwo, that is one regret I have in raising you but trust me I’m about to change that.

I also wish I could connect more to you by letting you wear whatever you wish to wear, go wherever you wish to go and let you stay out as late as you wish but sorry honey that’s never going to happen, not even at 21 or 25 because I’m that African Dad that will come to your house and set my rules, sorry but I’m not sorry.

I still want to be the really cool dad so go ahead make that IG account you’ve been hiding for several months public (Yea, I guess you thought I didn’t know, haha, you be Americana, I be Warri boy). Anyway, Efemena, do not let go of first, your Christian then your African values as they are important.

On being protective of her, he wrote:

Let’s just be clear that, I will still Censor your friends, Create a curfew, Censor your outfits and be a “monitoring spirit” unto your social media accounts and if you create a covert one, I will find it so don’t bother.

I still choose what is right and appropriate over what is cool.

I understand if you think 16 isn’t getting you the full free pass, don’t sweat it baby, even 25 probably won’t.

Thank you baby for loving me unconditionally, I do love you much more.

Happy 16th birthday Efemena Mofe-Damijo, God bless and keep you always.

Love,

Daddy #MenaAt16 #DaddysPrincess #MenaMofeDamijo #RMDsPride”

“Many do not love you, they love the idea of you”- RMD.

Ace actor, RMD (Richard Mofe Damijo) has some few words for his followers and fellow celebrities. The actor, sharing a picture of himself on set as an old man seized the moment to dish advice.

RMD who has a large number of admirers, celebrities and fans alike asked if people will still adore him if he were a nobody. According to him, not everyone that shower praises on you actually love you.They love the idea of you, he said.

The Nollywood top actor stated that he keeps his circle really small despite the level of praises showered on him constantly. This is because people will be quick to pounce with the slightest mistake. He advised that people shouldn’t let the number of followers they have on social media, fool them.

Read his full statement below;

“If I wasn’t the six foot and some more, successful, famous, somewhat good-looking RMD, will you still love me?  If not for the level of fame I have achieved and the success tied to my brand will you still scream my name?

If I was a middle-aged, gray bearded, emaciated applicant hoping to be your driver, will you give me a second look?  If I was a half literate Warri boy who said ‘Nyam’ instead of Yam, “Shorsh” instead of Church and “I chock” instead of “I was shocked”, will you not mock and laugh at my speech?

If I as RMD, fell on hard times, lost my fame and fortune, became helpless and hopeless, will you show any sympathy?

I ask, not because I do not know the answers but so that he that has ears will hear and hopefully learn a thing or maybe, two.

Don’t let the fame fool you;

In your desire to be loved and accepted, it is important to ask ourselves how much of the love and admiration thrown at you are genuine.

Know that many do not love you, they love the idea of you. It is the same people who sing your praises when you’re up, that tear you apart when you stumble, and stomp on you when you fall.

Don’t let the number of followers you have, the likes and comments on your pictures or the hype fool you, one wrong move and the vultures will swoop down to feast.

This is why I appreciate the love but stay super selective when it comes to letting people in. I keep my circle small, in fact, very small. I keep my private life, private and thank God for the grace to also keep my public life private.

Don’t put yourself out there and start crying foul when it blows up in your face and hey, STOP trying to sit with the cool kids, YOU•ARE•THE•COOL•KID!!!! Know this and elevate above the clique mentality.
