Richard Mofe-Damijo Celebrates Blessing Jessica Obasi With Heartfelt Birthday Message

Nollywood titan Richard Mofe-Damijo, in short RMD, took the social media route to shower Blessing Jessica Obasi with appreciations on her birthday. This very seasoned actor in a sweeter post by RMD called her “Lolo Nze” and praised her as “a producer with a heart of gold who would go out on a limb for me.” He was appreciative of the work she did on their project #RadioVoiceTheMovie and wished her happiness, peace, and joy as she is set to embark on a new year. These comments soon got flooded with birthday wishes from fans and fellow actors, but the reply from Obasi was the most heartwarming from all. She responded in kind with “My Papa” and thanked him for believing in her. She went on to say he had been a pacesetter and trailblazer under whose wings young talents like her can stand, learn from, and grow. She ended with a double Amen echoing his prayers for her.

Some other comments were slightly cheeky. “You for post where una Dey kiss na papa,” one joked, reference to the closeness of the duo; others simply responded with birthday emojis and well-wishes. The prevailing tone, however, was of warmth and respect, showing how much Obasi is loved within the industry.

The words of RMD pay homage to the tried and tested philosopher and goodwill between mentors and mentees, with his brand of veteran actively fostering the upcoming generation. Those words from him were more than an average birthday shoutout. They were a public citation that recognized Obasi’s works well done and worthy of diligence. From Obasi’s grateful reply, it can be gleaned that such relations go beyond respect, even on a professional level; they go into personal.

Blessing Jessica Obasi is not just a producer but also an actress and a filmmaker making waves in the industry. Collaboration (which had her team up with RMD) in “#RadioVoiceTheMovie” was surely enough of an experience to forge an indelibly positive impression in the minds of both. And if we go by the comments, that feeling of bonding extends to the fans.
