Veteran actor Richard Mofe Damijo has won an award as the best actor for the movie Three Wise Men in the just concluded Abuja film festival held in the Federal Capital City, Abuja.
An elated RMD revealed this in a post on the social media, saying: “I won the best actor for my role in the movie 3 wise men at the just concluded Abuja international film festival. It couldn’t have come at a better time as we wrap the #glolafftafest2017 today. It’s been a long comic ride since April. Laughter is good for the soul, and even the bible acknowledges that a heart that is cheerful is as “medicine for the soul…” which is why I love to laugh and be merry.
Like laughter, awards are good for the soul especially when they are not post-humous.
The story is centered on three retired but not tired old men, Victor Olaitan, Zack Orji and RMD, who fight endlessly to get their entitlements from the government for several years. When they eventually get the entitlement worth millions of naira, the question of how to spend it hits them hard. The movie is full of thrilling and comic experience.
