Age has its privileges.
One of them is becoming comfortable in your own skin.
The rest is Grace”.

In another post, he reflected on his journey, noting how it has been 65 years of purpose, presence and grace. He said he has lived long enough to know that life owes us nothing.

RMD expressed gratitude for the privilege to dream, the courage to begin, the strength to endure, the wisdom to evolve, and the grace to remain.

“65 years of purpose, presence, and grace.
I’ve lived long enough to know that life owes us nothing.
Yet, by God’s grace, it has given me everything that truly matters.

The privilege to dream.
The courage to begin.
The strength to endure.
The wisdom to evolve.
The grace to remain.

For every lesson.
For every season.
For every soul that has walked this journey with me.
I am deeply grateful.

The journey continues”.

On his birthday last year, Shaffy Bello recalled fantasising about him while living in the States. She said she hoped on sharing the screen with him, and the Universe gave her more than her fantasy could contain. She recalled how RMD and his wife would visit her in the States while his wife was still childbearing and building.

A year ago, the veteran came under fire over his behaviour toward an overzealous fan who was taking a video of him. The veteran, amid criticism, reposted the video on his page, stating that the video had a good sound for TikTok videos.

In other news, Iyabo Ojo had stirred reactions with her s3xual admission for RMD. In an interview, she admitted to having s3xual feelings for the veteran actor and expressed hope at playing a love scene with him someday. The mother of two went on to list her celebrity crushes.
