It is hard for any Nollywood actress to kiss Richard Mofe Damijo without remembering. Iretiola Doyle did and she just cannot keep quiet even though it was a very long time ago. Who will blame her for gushing over the legend.
She narrated “Coming Into This Business A Little Over 2 Decades Ago…I Had A Short List Of People I Wanted And Hoped I’d Work With. It’s A No Brainer That @Mofedamijo Was Top On That List When It Came To Leading Men. I Remember That First Opportunity …On The Set Of AMAKA IGWE’S “SOLITAIRE”…. It Was Difficult Looking Him In The Face Talk More Of Kissing Him…I Mean This Was “RMD”!!! God Bless JMD His Wife Who Was Pregnant And On Set At The Time; Who With An Amused Look Quipped..”What’s Wrong With These 2 Fairly Used People? “
She went on to say “ I Beg Make Una Do So We Can All Go Home… That Surely Helped To Break The Ice For Me… It’s Been 20+ Years Now… This Year Alone I’ve Been Privileged To Work Opp This Consummate Professional On At Least 3 Projects. ..And At Different Times During The Course Of This Period I’ve Also Been Privileged To Experience This Rare Individual On More Personal Levels As Friend, Big Brother And Husband… Is It Man Crush Day Today? No Matter! I Celebrate This Man Today Just Because. This Person Who While Fully Aware Of His (Very Real) Larger Than Life Persona Still Let’s “Little Lights” Shine…A Leading Member Of The Brigade Of People Who Truly Make This Industry Look Good And Promising… Like Fine Wine May You Continue To Age With Grace!!! #IBA!!”
