I Married The Best Woman In The World-RMD

Mr. Richard Mofe-Damijo popularly called RMD, who is a Nollywood movie star, and a one-time Commissioner for Culture and Tourism in Delta state , has called his wife, Jumobi Adegbesan ‘the best in the world’.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned  that Richard Mofe-Damijo  said this  on Sunday during his interview on the ‘Teju Baby Face Show’ .

RMD recalled the challenges he faced after the death of his first wife, late Mrs. May Ellen-Ezekiel and how he later moved on with his life while specially recognizing the role  played by Jumobi  who he called his ultimate source of strength and support.

‘That’s the rock of my being. That’s the reason I can stay. I have the best wife in the world because it has to be the reason why I can go out there and flex. Because I know who is behind me.

I have done some crazy things but she also knows that I am remorseful and a work in progress. As I said, if your wife doesn’t feel that you are also taking responsibility for the partnership, she won’t be the woman you want. I constantly pray that I am the man that she wants. Before we got married, I always said to her that I didn’t think I deserved to marry you and she would say it was okay. I would joke that if you change, I will kill you. She was so good.

As was a legible young man who just lost his wife and everybody wanted me to remarry. She would come to the house and meet 10 women. Then I would look at her and tell my younger brother to go drop her and I would tell her to go home. She would just turn around and go home. After  everybody  must have left, I would tell my brother to call her to come back and she would turn right back. Then I will be like, why are you so dense, why don’t you say something?

I was really afraid to marry her because she was too nice and I kept saying to her, ‘Hope you won’t change when we marry’. Even at the lowest point in my life when I looked at her and said I was so sorry she would say, ‘I have nowhere I’m going. That doesn’t cause me to want to sin more but it built more responsibility for me to slow down’  he said.

RMD  also disclosed what was made the foundation of the relationship.

‘So, it is a partnership. If you don’t give me anything to feel like I am a part of the union, then if I see you kissing along the corridor, I will feel very bad and not pretend that I didn’t see you. I will say that is what you love to do because that is what defines you.

The first time I made the biggest money in my life, I told my manager to pay the money into my wife’s  bank account. When she received it, she asked what it was meant for and I told her it was for her.

 Because I had to show her that that was the biggest money I made in my life. I could buy a car or go on holiday but I just said this is the person that made it possible. And the typical her was not flattered.

That used to bother me when we just started. When I travel and come back with two suitcases and one and a half are hers she will just say put it there. Then I will ask, do you like it and she will say yea I like it’ he added.

RMD and Jumobi got married  on December 29, 2000 and it was the popular actor’s second marriage.
