"I Gave My Wife My First N100 Million Cheque" – Richard Mofe-Damijo Shares Romantic Gesture
The veteran actor, who recently celebrated his 65th birthday, made the revelation during an interview on The Morayo Show, where he described himself as an "incurable romantic" before joking that romance has evolved in the modern era.
According to RMD, romance is no longer just about the traditional gestures of flowers and chocolates, as modern women have come to appreciate more substantial expressions of love. He said, "These days, it's never about flowers and chocolates anymore. Ladies like money now."
The actor then recounted the moment he received the biggest cheque of his entire career, which was worth approximately N100 million. Instead of keeping it for himself, RMD made a decision that surprised even his wife. "The first time I had the biggest cheque I've ever had in my life, I had like a 100M cheque.
So I said, 'Give it to my wife.' When she got it, she said, 'You want me to keep it for your children?' So I said, 'No, keep it for yourself,'" he recounted.
RMD's gesture has been widely praised as a testament to his love and trust in his wife, Jumobi, whom he married in 2000 after the passing of his first wife, May.
Their marriage has stood the test of time, with RMD often speaking about the importance of partnership and mutual respect in a successful relationship. His willingness to entrust his wife with such a significant amount of money reflects the deep bond they share and his belief in her ability to manage their finances.
The actor's comments have sparked conversations about the evolving nature of romance and the role of financial gestures in modern relationships.
While some traditionalists may argue that romance should be about sentiment rather than money, others have praised RMD for recognising that love can be expressed in different ways.
His gesture serves as a reminder that romance is not one-size-fits-all and that the most meaningful expressions of love are often the ones that are tailored to the needs and desires of a partner.
Reactions to RMD's revelation have been largely positive, with many fans applauding his generosity and his willingness to share such a personal story. His comments have also resonated with women who appreciate the importance of financial security and trust in a relationship.
As RMD continues to inspire with his talent and his heart, his story serves as a reminder that true romance is about understanding, trust, and the willingness to put your partner first.
