RMD Advises Nigerians to Contribute to Solving the Country’s Problems
Veteran Nollywood actor and filmmaker Richard Mofe-Damijo, famously known as RMD, has advised Nigerians to focus on providing solutions to the country’s problems rather than simply criticising them.
He advised that Nigerians can do more than criticise, as they can also contribute to solving problems and helping to improve the country.
RMD made the remarks at the 2026 Pivot Nigeria Conference in Lagos, themed “The Reputation Dividend: Who Pays for Nigeria’s Perception?”
“There are problems, but we need to fix them. Don’t stand and just criticise and propose no solution, Just remember who you are. You are an ambassador, not just for yourself, your parents or your school, but ultimately for your country,” he added.
