Nollywood actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo, fondly called RMD, says music sensation, Naira Marley, appeared shy when his wife Jumobi met him early in the year.
Sharing a picture taken with the singer on Instagram on Monday, the 58-year-old said that Naira Marley had become so popular that even his daughter now calls herself a Marlian.

“Early this year my wife shared a seat with @nairamarley on a trip from Dubai. She told me how he was very gentle and almost shy. A few months later on a flight from Abuja to Lagos, one of the last passengers to board was @nairamarley and he sat beside me. He started laughing. We both knew why; I mean, what are the odds? I whipped out my phone and took this picture I’m sharing with you now,” he said.
The actor, who recently celebrated his 19th wedding anniversary, added: “Today the young man has grown into some kind of phenomenon. My young daughter calls herself a Marlian. Even when I tease her and ask, so what happens to @davidoofficial she just smiles and covers her face. This is no joke my whole household of holidaymakers are all calling themselves Marlians.”

Naira Marley has since become the darling of music lovers in the country and beyond.
The singer will be having a highly-anticipated concert tagged MarlianFest in Lagos on Monday night.
