Veteran Nollywood actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo, fondly known as RMD, has joined the growing list of admirers congratulating Timini Egbuson on his cinematic success.
Timini’s debut project, Reel Love, has set new records in Nollywood, including the Highest Opening Weekend for a First-Timer, the 4th Highest Grossing Opening Weekend of All Time, and Nollywood’s Strongest Opening for Valentine’s Season.
In a heartfelt post shared on Instagram, RMD referred to Timini as his “son” and expressed immense pride in his achievements. He lauded the actor for his hard work, talent, and dedication to his craft, calling him one of Africa’s finest young talents.
RMD wrote:
This is Timini …
An actor,
My son, in whom I am well pleased.
Probably the hardest-working and most uber-talented young actor in Africa today.
He just did over ₦90M at the box office for his film’s opening weekend and counting!
But while he’s out here making history, he’s also caught up in Real Love or Reel Love, so he claims. With @bimboademoye, an actress and a comic no less. (One I might just be crushing on myself, but that’s a story for another day… @_timini and I may have to duel for her the old way some day soon).
Reel Love is still showing in cinemas nationwide. Go show him more love at the cinemas!”
This public endorsement by RMD adds to the celebratory mood surrounding Reel Love and Timini’s achievements.
RMD’s admiration for success extends beyond the film industry to his family. Toward the end of 2024, the legendary actor proudly celebrated his daughter, Efemena Adufe, who graduated with a new degree.
He shared photos from her convocation ceremony on Instagram, expressing gratitude and pride in her achievements. RMD urged his daughter to conquer the world, reflecting the supportive and inspiring father he has always been.
With his roles as a veteran actor, mentor, and proud parent, RMD continues to inspire both his colleagues in Nollywood and his fans worldwide.
