RMD reflects on life as he clocks 58 today
Lengendary actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo who clocks 58 today, has described his life’s journey as “years of stumbles, falls, wrong turns, dreadful mistakes and errors.
In all, the veteran thespian and lawyer says it’s been 58 remarkable years of God’s consistent grace and mercies.
In an Instagram post early on Saturday, RMD stated that the beauty of getting older is that with each passing day, one tends to know oneself better, find ones voice more and generally become better aware. All of these he has been able to achieve. This is why he is not afraid to speak the truth, irrespective of whose ox is gored.
He added that Nigerians have given him the best birthday week, ever as it’s been a harvest of protests that have brought positive results.
This he says gives hope that though a lot of young people in this generation are misinformed, misguided and scaringly shallow, a lot more have their heads in the right places and he is optimistic that it can only get better.
His post reads thus:
“The thing about getting older is that with each passing day, you know yourself better, find your voice more and generally become better aware.
“It’s been 58, years of stumbles, falls, wrong turns, dreadful mistakes and errors but in all, they have been 58, remarkable years of God’s consistent grace and mercies.
“If after all these years I am afraid to speak the truth irrespective of whose ox is gored, then I have failed, which is why I have never been prouder of being Nigerian than I am now because “Nigerians have given me the best birthday week, ever. It’s been a harvest of protests that have brought positive results. It indeed gives me hope that even though a lot of young people in this generation are misinformed, misguided and scaringly shallow, a lot more have their heads in the right places and I am optimistic that it can only get better.
“So as I reflect on my years, I pray that Proverbs chapter 31, verses 8 and 9 will guide the remaining years of my life, Amen! #RMDSaysSo #RMD@58 #GratefulHeart #HappyMan #FulfilledLife styling by @mudiafrica”
