Nollywood actor Mofe Duncan has been left overwhelmed with the massive love he received on his 40th birthday. Taking to his Instagram page to pen an appreciation post, he expressed how excited he was when the priest referenced him during his homily in front of the entire congregation.

The amount of love he received on social media from friends and fans to his 91+-year-old father making a speech at his birthday dinner, to his family and friends who showed up for him brought him to the verge of tears.

Apologizing to those whose birthday messages haven’t been acknowledged by him, Mofe Duncan stated that he hasn’t been able to get through all the tags and mentions of IG.

“Yesterday was overwhelming, to say the least. From my priest referencing me during his homily in front of the entire congregation, to the outpour of love in my social media from friends and fans to my 91+ yr old father making a speech at my 40th dinner, to my family & my friends who showed up for my dinner….every aspect of yesterday brought me on the verge of tears and TRULY I want to say THANK YOU!

I have not been able to get through all the tags and mentions on IG. Please don’t be offended, you’re NOT less important than those acknowledged. I’d do my best to acknowledge every birthday wish out there on my behalf. (Might finish next year on my 41st birthday and then I’d do it all over again Lol).

Thank you, guys. I absolutely LOVE being MOFE DUNCAN and I have you guys to thank for it. God bless you individually and may the love shown to me be paid forward to you in your lives.

Now WE 40, now WE LIVE”.
