Nollywood actor Richard Mofe Damijo was honoured in Port Harcourt during the 2016 Africa Movie Academy Awards. He was awarded a Life Time Achievement Award for being an exceptional actor for the past 33 years.

Since RMD came back from politics, he has been receiving accolades and supports from different people and this is just one of the many awards he rightly deserves.

He was so thankful to say “So in just 33 years as a "pro-actor" I get a life time achievement award. I am humbled, thrilled and super-grateful. I want to thank all my Directors. Producers. Teachers. Colleagues… I want to particularly acknowledge Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan. Dr Mike Adenuga. My fans who continue to authenticate me. My wife who is my solid rock and safe place. And everyone that has made it with me on this incredible journey. “

He talked about the night “It was an amazing night and who better to be on hand to do it for me than Ebubedike himself. The lion… Pete Edochie. I was also blessed to be in the distinguished company of two of my favourite people who are not just actors to me Mr and Mrs Olu Jacobs. Thanks AMAA Dreams do come true if you hold on tight. “

"Being a Warri boy is now rewarding “This Warri boy has made good. It just tells me, everybody else can once they believe. God's grace has indeed been more than sufficient for me. I am blessed beyond words."
