I relocated to Nigeria because of Ramsey Nouah – Adunni Ade

Nollywood star, Adunni Ade has expressed her admiration for her colleague, Ramsey Nouah.

Featuring in a recent episode of Hip TV programme Trending, hosted by reality star KimOprah, Ade revealed that she has always admired the veteran actor.

She disclosed that he was behind her decision to abandon her career as a model in America and relocate to Nigeria.

She said, “He [Ramsey Nouah] was the one who gave me confirmation to move to Nigeria. I met him before I came to Nigeria and I told him what my goals and aspirations were. And he gave me a very good pep talk and I moved down.

“Imagine from 2011 never getting to work with him. And this is someone you’ve always admired. Then during a film festival, I saw him and I went to exchange pleasantries as usual.

“The next day, I got a call from the producer Chris, his very good friend, and he said, ‘Adunni, what did you give Ramsey to eat? Ramsey just cast you.’

“I had goosebumps. I was so happy to work with him on set. He is so different when he is working. I’ve been featured in another project with him. I cannot disclose that right now. I have seen him as Ramsey Nouah the human being, Ramsey Nouah the director, and Ramsey Nouah the co-actor. He is just a phenomenal human being.”

Adunni Ade moved to Nigeria in 2011.

She landed her first Nollywood role when she acted in the Yoruba language film ‘You or I’ in 2013.

She has featured in over 250 Nollywood movies in both English and Yoruba languages.
