Comedian AY Makun opened up on how renowned actor Richard Mofe Damijo advised him to further his education.
According to him, he was working as a bartender when he met RMD, who recommended he return to school after hearing about his desire to enter the entertainment industry.
He said that he had to stop and enroll in a degree program at Delta State University after a prominent actor advised him to do so.
The comedian stated this during an open discussion with Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo. He stated that this decision ultimately led to his great comedy career.
He said:“I was doing all that it takes to get into the entertainment space. And somewhere along the line, I started working with NNPC Junior Staff Club as a bartender.
“That was what inspired my series, ‘Call To Bar.’ Everything around me; my stories, and my movies are all inspired by my experiences.
“When I was working as a bartender, I would see a lot of people the likes of Alex O and Shina Peters coming to perform. I would say to myself that someday, somehow, somewhere, sometime in life, I’m going to get into the entertainment space.
So, there was one time that I approached RMD when he came, a long time ago. We were talking and he advised me to go back to school. He said, ‘Education is important. Afterward, trust me, all these things would follow.’
“So, that was how I gained admission into Delta State University to study Theatre Arts.”
Popular Nigerian Afrobeat musician, David Adeleke, also known as Davido, has raised alarm over an alleged plot to deregister Accord party ahead of the forthcoming governorship election in Osun State.
The singer made the claim a post on X on Thursday.
Why questioning reasons for the deregistration, Davido called for free and fair election.
He wrote; “Deregister Accord party for what? Cowards let’s go to the field.”
This is coming 48 hours after the singer called out Gboyega Oyetola, the minister of Marine and Blue Economy, and the immediate past governor of the state over alleged desperate plan.
Recall that Osun State’s current governor and Davido’s uncle, Ademola Adeleke, announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in December 2025 following the party’s national leadership crisis and legal dispute and joined Accord Party for his re-election.
The Osun State governorship election is scheduled for August 15, 2026.

Fans and colleagues have taken to the post’s comment section to congratulate the expecting parents.
Joining the comment section is Temi’s sister, DJ Cuppy, who expressed joy at becoming an aunt.
“I’m going to be an auntyyy,” she wrote.
The pregnancy announcement comes a few months after Eazi dismissed claims that he had already welcomed his first child with Temi.
Recall that the couple’s romance began in 2017 when they started dating.
They got engaged in April 2023.
In August 2025, Mr Eazi and Temi tied the knot in a private wedding ceremony at Hallgrímskirkja in Reykjavik, Iceland.
In an exclusive feature with Vogue Magazine, the couple released their wedding photos and revealed that they held ceremonies in three countries: Monaco, Dubai, and Iceland.
According to the couple, their court wedding took place on May 9 in Monaco, their traditional wedding was held on July 5 in Dubai, while the white wedding was held in Iceland.
Following the high-profile wedding, Temi, the daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, also updated her social media bio to reflect her marital status by adopting her husband’s surname, Ajibade.
Nollywood actress Sharon Ooja has announced the arrival of her baby boy, expressing deep gratitude to God, her husband, family, and friends for their support throughout her pregnancy journey.
The actress shared the news in an emotional post on her Instagram page on Wednesday, where she described her newborn son as “the most handsome baby boy I have ever seen.”
She wrote: “I just gave birth to the most handsome baby boy I have ever seen. I’m still so overwhelmed with joy and gratitude. 2025/2026… God truly ushered me into the most beautiful years of my life and wrote a story that only He can take the glory for. Pregnancy made me understand God’s love in such a deeper way, unconditional, intentional, and impossible to fully explain.”
Reflecting on scripture and her journey, she added: “His Word says, ‘Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine, and your children like olive shoots around your table.’ And wow. God really did it in his perfect timing. You are truly a merciful God.”
Appreciating her husband, she wrote: “And to my husband, thank you for loving me so fiercely beautifully through every stage of our pregnancy. The prayers, reassurance, back rubs, trips, baths, endless gifts, food runs and the way you carried me emotionally and spiritually these past 9 months… baby, you are truly everything. Me, Win, and Zoey are so blessed to have you.
Sharon Ooja also thanked loved ones for respecting their privacy, saying: “Thank you to my family and friends for protecting our peace and allowing this journey to stay private, and off social media just as we requested, it was soft, and I genuinely enjoyed every bit of my pregnancy.”
She concluded with joy over her son’s name: “Our lives have changed forever. ‘W.I.N’ that’s his initials. I’ve always dreamed of being a mummy, and now I finally am. You can officially call me mama win, the yummiest mummy on the block and we officially back!! Thank You God.”
