Nigerian stand-up comedian and actor, Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, popularly known as Ali Baba, has called his colleague Richard Mofe Damijo, a living legend.
The comedian poured loving encomiums on RMD, and called him a living legend who has stood the test of time and remained relevant in the entertainment industry.
In his recent post on IG , Alibaba wrote,
“What makes you relevant? What gives you that consistency that keeps you in the reckoning in an industry where your career is a time capsule that can be swallowed up by generational shifts?
” How do you go away from an industry for 8 years, come back into the industry and continue like you never left? How do you own a space and only you can fill it?
” What is it that some are not doing right, even though they are busy in the industry? What are those things that hinder your relevance in an unforgiving atmosphere where you slip and your career goes to sleep?
“These are a few things I have learnt from this man @mofedamijo, It would take an hour to teach but let me mention some.
“1. Know yourself. 2. Identify your strengths. 3. Reduce your weaknesses. 4. Understand the industry and know where the bodies are buried. 5. Continuously improve you. 6. Talent is not enough. 7. Be a good person. 8. Be dynamic. A stagnant river is as good as a dry well. 9. Apply your talents in every way you can. 10. Take care of you.”
