Nollywood veteran Richard Mofe-Damijo, popularly known as RMD, says he gives his wife the biggest gifts he can afford so she never has to ask him for anything.

The actor made the revelation during an appearance on The Morayo Show. He explained that his wife’s love language is receiving gifts and that he enjoys providing for her needs.

Why He Gives His Wife Expensive Gifts

“These days, it’s never about flowers and chocolates anymore. Ladies like money. For my wife, a trip abroad must have a shopping mall. Her love language is gifts. I think that the biggest compliment that I ever get from her is that whatever important thing she has or holds, she will tell you that my husband buys everything that I need, so I try to gift her enough.”

RMD said one of the biggest gestures he made was giving his wife the first major cheque he received. The cheque was worth about ₦100 million.

“The first time I had the biggest cheque in my life, like 100m, my manager had gone to pick it up, and I said, ‘Give it to my wife.’ When she got it, she was like, ‘ You want me to keep it for your children? I said, ‘ No, keep it for yourself.”

He added that he knew most of the money would eventually benefit their children. However, he still wanted his wife to have it.

“I know that 90% of that will end up on my children, but for me, I like to gift my wife with the biggest things I have so that way, she never has to ask for anything.”

Surprise Career Choice

The actor also spoke about his son, Tega. He said he was surprised when the young man decided to pursue acting.

“He never once told me he wanted to act. It was during graduation that we were taking pictures when he told me that he wanted to act, and I’m like Why didn’t you say something? ‘ because none of my kids is into what I am doing.”

Secret to Staying Youthful

RMD also shared how he maintains his youthful appearance. He said he eats healthy meals and exercises regularly. He added that he follows the advice of an older person who told him that ageing should never mean developing an old mindset.
