Lecturers deliberately picked on me to test my intellect –RMD - Punch Newspapers

In 1997, award-winning actor Richard Mofe-Damijo, better known as RMD returned to the university to study law at the University of Lagos and graduated in 2004.

Many years later, RMD recounts some of the hurdles he had to cross in school adding that he was not given any preferential treatment by lecturers. He said, “I made a lot of friends easily in class. When I got to the University Of Lagos, I was very focused on what I was doing and it was important to blend. I did not get any preferential treatment in school, instead, they wanted to know whether I could do anything outside of the movie industry. I also got the same treatment in Law school, lecturers will deliberately pick on me to test my intellect. What they did not realise is that these things made me more prepared.

“They did this because the institution does not post names on the result. But this made me excel at every exam, I made sure of it. I like challenges, it is what gets me going. I like the fact that I had my law degree when I was grown and established. I simply kept my head down and came out with good grades. I am old school and I do not think that one should rush through life. I love young energies, however, I like to still do things at my own pace. Having adult children also makes me grounded.

When asked for his opinion about marrying someone in the same profession, the 60-year-old actor said, “I think that the advantage of being married to a colleague working in the same office far outweighs the disadvantages. There would be arguments but that’s part of the dynamics that keeps the couple going. They watch out for each other. The most important thing is that the couple in question find time for themselves.

This is cool but if it was a lady, all u guys will pick from the interview will be the first guy she dated and how she was not focused.
