Actress Ramsey Nouah successfully persuaded Nollywood star Adunni Ade to move to Nigeria, as she recalled in a recent interview.
The fair-skinned actress said she first met Ramsey Nouah in 2011 and that he gave her some advice, which she still firmly adheres to now.
She recalled how Ramsey Nouah had advised her to relocate to Nigeria so she could work in front of the country's audience if she wanted to be successful in Nollywood.
He continued by saying that she had two options for getting to the top: the quick route or the long route. She picked the latter.
Adunni claimed that Ramsey Nouah is one of the actresses she mentioned in saying that if someone with her appearance could succeed, so could she.

Twelve years have passed since they first met on the set of a film, and an appreciative Adunni Ade has written:
In 2011, I met bro @ramseynouah in Owings Mills, Maryland. I've mentioned this story a few times. I later asked to speak with him, and we did so at a mall near to Washington, DC.
He gave me some advice, which I still follow.
strongly to the next 12 years. He advised moving to Nigeria and getting in front of the Nigerian audience if you truly wanted to pursue acting in Nollywood.
There are two ways to succeed, he said. either the quick path or what appears to be a long route. You seem like someone who would choose the long way around (not sure if he really saw that in me or speaking unspoken words). It can appear to be taking an eternity, and you may be receiving rejection left and right. But if you keep going, you'll eventually reach the summit and, you can bet on it, stay there for a very long time.
He was someone I frequently mentioned as I was growing up because I believed that if someone who looked like me could succeed in a nation that I believed had wronged me, then I could too.
I choose to always say "thank you" to him whenever I see him. He undoubtedly constantly asks himself, "Why?" Brother Ramsey You have such a wonderful spirit! You are just too generous! You didn't have to assist in guiding me down a route I had already decided upon, but you did! After 12 years, it is still my desire to work with you. The magic took place.
It was incredible to receive a call from @chrisodeh asking us to collaborate on TOKUNBO's set!
For you and your group! I appreciate you making me take in the show. Even though it was crazy, it was one of my favorite productions to work on. Ramsey is a meticulous person. An artist! Almost everyone on the set, including Barbara, Susan, Efe, Rex, and Teju! You guys are very professional! You guys keep it that way.
