Nollywood actress Adunni Ade recently shared how Ramsey Nouah, a prominent figure in the industry, inspired her to move from the USA to Nigeria.
During her appearance on Hip TV’s Trending with Kim Oprah, Ade spoke about the significant role Nouah played in her decision to pursue her acting career in Nigeria.
Adunni, who had been successful as a model in America, explained that Ramsey Nouah’s encouragement was pivotal in her choice to relocate. “Before I moved to Nigeria, I met Ramsey and shared my aspirations with him.
He gave me such motivating advice that helped me leap,” she said. Her move in 2011 marked the beginning of a new chapter in her career.
Despite her admiration for Nouah, it took years for Adunni to get the chance to work with him. She recalled, “I had always admired Ramsey, but it took until recently to work with him. When I finally saw him at a film festival, I took the opportunity to greet him.”
Her excitement grew when she received a call from producer Chris, who was a close friend of Nouah. “Chris called me and said, ‘Adunni, what did you give Ramsey to eat?
He just cast you in his project!’ I was overjoyed and had goosebumps,” she said. Working with Nouah, she found, was even more rewarding than she had imagined.
Adunni praised Ramsey Nouah for his versatility and professionalism. “He’s a phenomenal person—whether as an actor, director, or colleague,” she said. The experience of working with him has been a highlight in her career.
Adunni Ade made her Nollywood debut in 2013 with the Yoruba film You or I. Since then, she has starred in over 250 movies in both English and Yoruba, establishing herself as a significant figure in the Nigerian film industry.
Her story is a testament to the influence and encouragement of established industry figures like Ramsey Nouah.
