Have you ever wondered how actor cum politician Richard Mofe-Damijo met his wife, former on-air personality, Jumobi?
Wonder not!
In a chat with gooo/spice/i-lost-friends-when-i-joined-government-richard-mofe-damijo/”>Punch newspaper,
the entertainer who previously married to May Mofe-Damijo (nee Ezekiel)
of blessed memory, narrated their meeting thus “We met at Africa
Independent Television almost 20 years ago where I attended a function.
We were introduced, became friends and we’ve been married for 15 years. I
like brilliant women who are dark and beautiful. I used to call her
Adumaradun, a Yoruba praise word for beauty. She is consistent and is my
anchor.”
Also a doting father, Mofe-Damijo places much value on family and would not give it up for anything in the world.
He notes, “When I became a commissioner, I promised my wife that I
would not stay away from home for more than two weeks. In the eight
years I worked with the Delta State Government, I practically flew in
and out of Lagos every week at great personal expense. I love my family
and my life is defined by my family. They give me stability.”
