Nollywood actress Shaffy Bello has recalled fantasising about her colleague, Richard Mofe Damijo, while celebrating his birthday.
The highly respected actress revealed that while living in the States, she hoped and fantasised about sharing the screen with him, and the Universe gave her more than her fantasy could contain.
She recalled how RMD and his wife would visit her in the State while his wife was still childbearing and building. Now, her wish has been granted.
Wishing him a happy birthday, she admonished him to keep teaching them.
“My dear LEGENDARY PAPA BEAR
Oko Oremi ABEKE @mofedamijo
I remember while living in the States, hoping and fantasising that one day I’ll share the screen with you.
You both would come visit the States while ABEKE was still childbearing and building.
Look at us now! Look at me now!
The Universe gave me more than my fantasy could contain.
Keep teaching us … and for those who care to watch, keep showing us. We are watching.
Happy Birthday, King”.
Some years back, Shaffy Bello appreciated media mogul Mo Abudu for giving her a chance at a movie and believing in her. Shaffy also praised herself and then thanked Ebony TV boss Mo Abudu.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Shaffy spoke on her failed marriage, which she claimed she sacrificed for her successful career in Nollywood. She shed light on how she left her husband and kids behind in America over 10 years in search of greener pastures for herself in Nigeria. She said she needed and yearned for more but didn’t know the price that would come with it, which she eventually paid.
In other news, the veteran actress had shared her two cents on the ‘What do women bring to the table?’ controversy. She told ladies to stop questioning men when they ask them what they bring to the table. Shaffy added that women are more attractive to men when they don’t need them. According to her, ladies shouldn’t be too needy, as it makes them less attractive.
