In other news, AY Makun has revealed the valuable advice renowned actor Richard Mofe Damijo gave him many years ago.
The popular Nigerian comedian and actor said RMD encouraged him to complete his schooling, to which he agreed.
According to him, he was working as a bartender when he met RMD, who suggested he return to school after learning about his desire to work in entertainment.
He stated that he had to halt and enroll in a degree program at Delta State University after a well-known actor recommended him to do so.
The comedian made this statement during an open chat with Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo. He remarked that this decision ultimately resulted in his successful comic career.
He said:
“I was doing all that it takes to get into the entertainment space. And somewhere along the line, I started working with NNPC Junior Staff Club as a bartender.
“That was what inspired my series, ‘Call To Bar.’ Everything around me; my stories, and my movies are all inspired by my experiences.
“When I was working as a bartender, I would see a lot of people the likes of Alex O and Shina Peters coming to perform. I would say to myself that someday, somehow, somewhere, sometime in life, I’m going to get into the entertainment space.
So, there was one time that I approached RMD when he came, a long time ago. We were talking and he advised me to go back to school. He said, ‘Education is important. Afterwards, trust me, all these things would follow.’
“So, that was how I gained admission into Delta State University to study Theatre Arts.”
