Actor Richard Mofe Damijo popularly known as RMD is a lawyer but does not appear in court. When quizzed about his absence in court, the thespian likened his absence to that of everyone serving God but not everyone is a priest.
In an interview with Cable Lifestyle, the 62-year-old actor said:
“I am a man of faith, and each one of us does not have to be on a pulpit on a weekly basis to serve God. I serve God wholeheartedly in my own way, believing that pursuing excellence in every field of endeavour is how mankind honours God.
“When I perform my work at its highest level, I am honouring God and fulfilling the purpose for which I am here. I touch and impact lives through the area for which humanity knows me, trusting my sense of judgment. For me, this is my way of honouring God.
“It also brings to mind the fact that when people hear that I am a lawyer, they often ask if I go to court. I educate them, explaining that not every lawyer needs to go to court. So, it is not a funny question for me; it aligns with what I represent.”
