Nollywood icon Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) has given a resounding nod to comedian Ayo Makun (AY), reaffirming Ali Baba’s endorsement of the entertainer’s relentless drive and ambition.

“That thing that Ali Baba saw in you, I see it as well. It is a thirst for life, a thirst for success. It is what makes every nation in the world to open doors to young Nigerians to come in.” RMD stated, acknowledging AY’s remarkable journey from stand-up comedy to filmmaking and beyond.

AY, who carved his path in Nigeria’s entertainment industry through grit and determination, continues to push boundaries. From his days as Ali Baba’s mentee to becoming one of the most successful comedians and box office kings in Nollywood, his rise reflects years of hard work, resilience, and vision.
