Richard Mofe Damijo writes to himself as he turns 58
Nollywood actor, Richard Mofe Damijo is 58 today. To celebrate himself, the actor wrote himelf a note.
He wrote:
“The thing about getting older is that with each passing day you know yourself better, find your voice more and generally become better aware. It’s been 58, years of stumbles, falls, wrong turns, dreadful mistakes and errors but in all, they have been 58, remarkable years of God’s consistent grace and mercies. If after all these years I am afraid to speak the truth irrespective of whose ox is gored, then I have failed, which is why I have never been prouder of being Nigerian than I am now because Nigerians have given me the best birthday week, ever. It’s been a harvest of protests that have brought positive results. It indeed gives me hope that even though a lot of young people in this generation are misinformed, misguided and scaringly shallow, a lot more have their heads in the right places and I am optimistic that it can only get better, so as I reflect on my years, I pray that Proverbs chapter 31, verses 8 and 9 will guide the remaining years of my life, Amen! #RMDSaysSo #RMD@58 #GratefulHeart #HappyMan #FulfilledLife”

Meet Mariya Dangote: Dangote’s Daughter
Does that name sound familiar? Well, this is rather strange and it is rather un-Nigerian, since children of the rich in Nigeria love to show off. Mariya Dangote on the other hand does not seem to be the show-off type.
Mariya Dangote keeps a low profile. She is often called the secretive daughter of Dangote. Although she has a social circle that she interacts with, she tries to keep off the public scene as much as possible as her status as the daughter of one of the richest black men in the world draws attention to her anytime she is in public space.

She is currently one of the top managers in Dangote Group, a multi conglomerate owned by her renowned billionaire father, Alhaji Aliko Dangote. One thing you should note about the Dangote’s daughters is that they keep a low profile.
