Richard Mofe Damijo Says He Broke The Specter Of Death In His Family

Nollywood veteran Richard Mofe Damijo popularly known as RMD has revealed how he broke the specter of death in his family.

The movie star made this known during a chat with Chude Jideonwo on his show ‘WithChude.’

RMD who turns 60 on July 6th, said his parents didn’t make it to 60 which is a big deal for him.

“None of my parents lived to be 60, so life for me is just about to get started. There’s been a specter of death around my life, that’s what I’ve been dealing with last year till this year. When I turned 59, it was a big deal for me, big deal for me! My mom died at 59, my father died at 57/58,” he said.

“So, it was like, can I break it? When people see me and I go on a weight loss, people think that… you know, it’s health. Both my parents were diabetic and hypertensive, I don’t want to be that. I don’t want to be diabetic and hypertensive, I want to be healthier.”

“Atleast give myself a fighting chance to change that whole cycle. Yes I’m a Christian now, so I’ve broken that yoke but I have to also help myself.”

RMD is a Nigerian actor, writer, producer, and lawyer. He is also a former Commissioner for Culture and Tourism in Delta State.
