Veteran Nollywood actor Richard Mofe-Damijo, popularly known as RMD, has stirred conversations online with his candid take on polygamy and relationships.
Appearing on a recent episode of Curiosity Made Me Ask, the legendary actor was confronted with a cheeky yet curious question by host Bae U Barbie. She asked, “You are married to only one woman. Do you think that is fair? Do you have an idea of how many women want you?”
RMD, with a calm and thoughtful response, said, “I don’t, but I think it is unfair to be married to just one woman. My father had five wives.”
With this remark, the actor threw his support behind polygamy, expressing that the practice, though controversial in modern times, was a norm in his family background. His comments have since generated buzz, with many discussing the implications of such a perspective in today’s society.
Richard Mofe-Damijo is currently married to television personality Jumobi Adegbesan. The couple tied the knot following the tragic loss of RMD’s first wife, May Ellen ‘MEE’ Mofe-Damijo, a popular talk show host, who passed away in 1996.
While RMD didn’t explicitly say he desires to practice polygamy himself, his statement reflected a nostalgic nod to his upbringing and perhaps a broader reflection on the nature of love, desire, and societal expectations.
Fans and critics alike are reacting to his opinion, with some supporting his honesty and others questioning the relevance of polygamy in today’s world. Regardless of the stance, one thing is certain, RMD’s words have sparked a timely conversation on love, tradition, and personal choices.
