Bovi Celebrates Rita Dominic Birthday As He Remembers The 1st Time They Met by AdoraAmadi: 6:43am On Jul 13, 2017 |
Beautiful and ageless Nollywood actress, Rita Dominic turned 42 yesterday and several of her colleagues took to their social media pages to celebrate her, but this lovely tribute by veteran Nigerian comedian, Bovi caught our attention. In this his birthday post for her, he talked about how he met the actress during his humble beginnings as RMD’s personal assistant. He wrote; “When I started working as RMD’s personal assistant in 2004, I came across most of the entertainers who were pretty popular at the time. In all honesty, many of them were not nice. It makes me remember the few who were. I don’t blame them though. The hysteria from fans usually left them exposed and vulnerable to something thats hard to handle : fame. And Rmd was huge (he still is). Like when you saw RMD, every other being around him seemed like shadows. I know this because he would later send me on errands back to some of these stars and when I told them “we met the last time. I was the one with RMD” they would have this surprised look. Absolutely no recollection. Rita however falls in the bracket of the select few who didn’t have to notice but she did. This is all the more interesting because I did something virtually every entertainer hates. On my first encounter with her, once she answered my greetings warmly, I called up a friend and passed the phone to Rita to talk to. She indulged me. Looking back, I cringe because that was pushing my luck (and excitement) too far. I will later help Rita under the instructions of my Oga with some print jobs. That was in 2005. After that, we didn’t cross paths again. I will see Rita again 7 years later at 2faces birthday party. I coyly went up to her and said “good evening. My name is Bovi. Don’t know if you remember….”. “bovi are you stupid? Like really? you’re asking me if I remember you”, she obstructed! We hugged, and laughed and caught up with time. My two “first” meetings with her taught me two lessons in humility. One; It’s very hard to fake. Two; It is however learnable. I’m still learning it. Riri, As natural and ordinary as those instances seem, they went a long way in boosting someone’s self confidence and belief. Maya Angelou said our legacy is not the monuments we build or money we make; our legacy is the lives we touch. I am one of your legacies. Happy birthday Rita Dominic.” http://www.lailasblog.com/2017/07/bovi-pours-encomium-rita-dominic-remembers-first-time-met.html 87 Likes 5 Shares

That is it. Reminds me of your TV series. Extended family. That was the days of your little beginning. I love that TV series like crazy. My grandfather says if you want to be successful you must avoid four things. They are greediness, anger, lust for women and the fourth which is the greatest is PRIDE Do not despise the days of your little begining When going gets tough then tough gradually get going The only thing that separate dangote and a poor man is time and sense. With time and a good sense you will be wealthy 40 Likes |

I always respected Bovi and admired him as a thriving youngman, having followed his sturdy growth in the entertainment industry. However, I lost all respect for him and now have a growing resentment for him Because he obviously has forgotten how he started and won't give newcomers same opportunity. The only reason who wrote this nonsense is because he considers Rita Dominic A-list. How many of his childhood friends has he celebrated via an elaborate social media post? He is arrogant to nobodies and even his fans. He revealed this when he turned down Debbie Rise's request while still in the Big Brother house to perform for free in his show. He turns her down with the words which are forever inscribed in the corner of my heart where I save resentments. He said, "I can't say yes or no now, in fact, I'm sorry you can't perform in my show, you have to crawl first before you try to fly" That was a blow. This same guy who begs established artistes to grace his show wouldn't let a newcomer perform for him And since then, if I had my way, Bovi will go to hell. 80 Likes 11 Shares |
