RMD Says He Didn't Always Know That He Would Make It In Life

The veteran nollywood actor, Richard Mofe Damijo popularly known as RMD marks his 56th birthday today, and to celebrate his new age he took to his Instagram handle to write a birthday message on how he started his journey from nothing to where he is today.

 In his words;

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.

...Let us wish him a Happy Birthday Baba RMD...
