He was especially moved by her singing voice, which he said touched him so deeply, it brought him warmth and clarity. “She sang and her voice touched my heart deeply… I had to take off my pullover, and she held it gently for me. After we worshipped together, holding hands, I knew I never wanted to let her go.” He recalled the profound moment she softly said the word “Nkiruka,” a name meaning "the best is yet to come", which he took as a divine sign. Moved by her spirit and kindness, he immediately told his mother about her. “True quality comes from how you treat people, not how you look. Real love sees deeper. Real love feels peaceful and warm like home.” Paul’s tribute is being widely praised as a refreshing counter narrative to superficial expectations placed on women. It has struck a chord with many across social media, reminding people that love built on peace, respect, and kindness endures far beyond physical traits.

RMD Sparks Conversation on Love, Loyalty, and Mutual Effort in Relationships

Nollywood icon Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) has stirred social media with a candid take on modern relationships, addressing love, financial responsibility, and the importance of mutual respect between partners. In a statement laced with signature charisma and realism, the veteran actor fondly known as Swaggalicious RMD emphasized that financial provision, while significant, is not the sole definition of love. “If you're dating or married to a man who takes care of all or most of your financial needs, that can feel like love to you,” he said. “However, the big question is: what actions of yours do you think constitutes love to a man?” RMD went on to urge couples to actively recognize and meet each other's emotional and psychological needs, stating that a relationship thrives when both parties are equally invested. He didn’t mince words when calling out disloyalty in partnerships, condemning infidelity regardless of gender. “A woman cannot give her all to a man who is galivanting from one woman to another despite his well-documented financial struggles. A man cannot give you his all if your ‘nyansh no dey sidon one place.’” His use of street-savvy language to drive home hard truths drew both praise and debate online, especially his declaration that: “It is a capital offence to flirt with someone else while your partner is present. These are the facts. Learn or perish.” The veteran actor’s comments have reignited discussions around accountability, gender expectations, and emotional reciprocity in relationships. While some hailed his blunt honesty, others questioned the tone and approach but one thing is clear: RMD has once again proven he's not just aging like fine wine, but also speaking with the wisdom of it.
