Ace Nollywood actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo, better known as RMD, has opened up on the essence of his cultural identity.
Naija News reports that the 63-year-old film star, while speaking at a recent inauguration of the Council of Chiefs Minnesota (CCM) in the United States, revealed what defines him as an Urhobo man.
RMD stated that his cultural identity is defined by his language, attire, and traditions, not material possessions or physical attributes.
He said, “For me as an Urhobo man, what defines me is not my bank account or how tall I am, it is the language I speak, it is the clothes I wear — the way I dress as an Urhobo man, it is the food I eat as an Urhobo man.”
Go And Pay Your Respect To Filmmaking Experts
Meanwhile, RMD has offered advice to comedian-turned-filmmaker, Basketmouth.
RMD advised him to seek guidance from experts in the movie industry as he launches his debut movie, “A Ghetto Love Story.”
Speaking via Instagram, the thespian congratulated Basketmouth on his bold move, emphasising that filmmaking requires more than raw talent.
He asserted that filmmaking does not require talent alone, but also learning from experts who have paved the way.
He recommended collaborating with established filmmakers, like Funke Akindele, Mo Abudu, AY Makun and Kunle Afolayan as industry heavyweights worth seeking out.
