Actor Richard Mofe-Damijo has been in the movie
industry for decades and has been a prominent figure in
all that time.

While many may only know the celebrity image he
projects by virtue of his job, the actor, like every other
person, has had a journey filled with struggles,
uncertainties, and challenges.

The actor who marks his 56th birthday today took to
Instagram to share an overview of his journey thus far.

He wrote: “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.”

Patoranking's "Nobody wey nor fit to make

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.
