I still struggle to get the right birthday present, RMD tells wife at 47

RMD and wife Jumobi Mofe-Damijo

Like many men, Nollywood actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo, still struggles with getting the right birthday present for his wife.

The film, stage and TV veteran stated this in an Instagram message to celebrate the 47th birthday of his wife, Jumobi, on Sunday.

Having long crossed the hurdle of remembering her birthdate, the man popularly known as RMD says the present challenge is getting the right present.

“Over 22 years later, my heart still skips a beat once it’s January. I do remember now but still struggling with getting the right present without you saying ‘…cheated you…’ but see how far we have come sweetie,” the 57-year-old wrote.

The love-struck husband then went on milk the rare occasion of flaunting his publicity shy “queen” publicly.

RMD and former Miss Jumobi Adegbesan got married in 2000, four years after the death of his first wife, May Ellen Ezekiel.

They are blessed with children and grandchildren.

Jumobi was a presenter on African Independent Television (AIT) before her marriage and eventual withdrawal from the public.
