Nollywood’s
favorite Richard Mofe-Damijo a.k.a RMD’s daughter just turned 15 and
the proud dad who made a decision few months ago to keep his family off
social media, took to Instagram to celebrate, while also hinting that he
did it because he had something to say.
“Several months ago I made a decision to keep my family off my social
media accounts but today as my little girl turns 15, I am compelled to
say something.
I’m not exactly certain why but perhaps it’s because every father
nurses some level of uncertainty about their little girl growing up. It
doesn’t matter where, Nigeria or the US, the fears are there.
The
fears are doubled today because of the exposure to the internet which
is fraught with all kinds of dangerous notions, warped narratives and
risky things, but you are my girl, who above all knows and fears God. My
fears are calmed by the fact that you have been instilled with values
that are not of the world but of the word (of God), which is why I know
you will grow into a fine woman who will be a light and beacon to and
for your generation.
I
believe God that you’ll continue to grow in wisdom and in grace and
that the light of God’s word will always guide you to make the right
choices.
Make yourself and everyone that loves you proud baby. Daddy is rooting
for you, so go on my sweet cakes and enjoy your day and never forget
that daddy loves you silly as always.
Happy Birthday baby.”
