He later came to Nigeria to work with TVC and Radio Continental.
 
Sumner Sambo Shagari, who worked with him at TVC, described Richie as an impeccable speaker of the English language.
 
“A toastmaster per excellence, he believed so much in me and his last advice to me on how to treat subordinates under me as I grow professionally in the media industry was this:

“As a leader, you need to take the time to truly understand what motivates and what doesn’t motivate each one of your direct reports. They are not all the same. Do not make the mistake of thinking one size fits all!”, RDJ said in a WhatsApp chat in February this year”.
 
Johnson is survived by his wife and three adult children.
