Veteran Nollywood actor Richard Mofe-Damijo, better known as RMD, has shared that he once gave his wife N100 million.
The 65-year-old actor, during a recent interview, called himself an “incurable romantic,” adding that he likes giving his wife gifts because that is her love language.
He said that when he received his first N100 million cheque, he gave it to his wife. She was surprised and asked why he was giving her so much money.
The actor explained that he likes to give his wife the best things he has so she never has to ask for anything.
“I’m an incurable romantic. These days, it isn’t about flowers and chocolates anymore because ladies like money. For my wife, though, her love language is gifts. The biggest compliment I get from her is when she says that every important thing she has or owns was bought by me, so I try to gift her as much as I can,” he said.
“The first biggest cheque I ever received was for N100 million. When it was presented to me, I told my manager to give it to my wife. When she got it, she asked if I wanted her to keep it for the children. I told her no, that she should keep it for herself and do whatever she wanted with it.
“The trick is that I know 90% of the money will eventually end up being spent on the children. I like giving my wife the biggest things I have so she never has to ask for anything. All the big and beautiful things in the house are hers.”
RMD married Jumobi, a former television presenter, in 2000, four years after the death of May Ellen Ezekiel, his first wife. They celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in December 2025.
The Delta-born actor has four children: two from his previous marriage and the other two from his current union.
